GARY
Gary is a unique Science Armor found in The Outer Worlds 2. GARY is a reactive sentient creature shell which uses its spiny tendrils to reach out and attack nearby enemies. It’s damage dealt increases with your Medical and Science skill, plus GARY also has unique voice lines which he interjects during combat or general gameplay (he is sentient, after all).

Zyranium Automech Suit
The Zyranium Automech Suit is a unique Heavy Science Armor which allows the player to hover by spending Gadget energy and will also keep them alive at death’s door, but builds Zyranium poisoning while at zero health, which can eventually kill you.
This fantastic science armor is found at the Automech Production Facility located on the planet Praetor. Check the full guide for more details.
How Science Armors Change Combat
Because of their unconventional mechanics, some science armors completely change the way combat feels in The Outer Worlds 2 or give you new capabilities. The best example of this is the Zyranium Automech Suit which introduces a hover option when you hold down the jump button. The hover effect is based on your Gadget energy, so its not unlimted however.
Why You Should Collect Science Armor
These experimental armors are worth seeking out because they do things that ordinary gear simply can’t. They allow you to combine quirky effects with standard combat, create unique builds that lean into fun mechanics, and handle encounters in ways that standard armors never could.
