Artemis Suit Mods
- Thread starter Zombi3
- Start date
I have found that what I desire most when I am out doing exobiology or just checking out the surface is mobility. So, with that in mind, I have added extra sprint, and extra jump. For my third and fourth I will likely add night vision and extra battery although I have never even come close to running out of battery and haven't really even needed NV on my Arti.
Edit to say that my method of doing exobiology has evolved to the point where I spend almost no time out running around on surface. So even the extra sprint and extra jump have just become occasionally nice to have additions. The Artemis is the only suit where there is very little impetus to do any upgrades or mods at all.

My Artemis has the following mods.
Improved jump assist
Improved battery capacity
increased sprint duration
night vision

night vision
Exactly the same on mine. Love it and it works well for most everything you'd need an artemis for
Artemis has the best jump-boost of the suits so extra on top of extra is good. Sprint duration- I want this on all my suits really but Artie has nothing better to go in that spot so it’s a no-brainer. Night Vision is a must out in the black. That leaves battery capacity for spot #4. Tool battery improvement would work but I wouldn’t trade it for any of the above 4.
Night Vision
Improved Battery Capacity
Improved Jump Assist
Increased Sprint Duration
Night Vision and Battery Capacity are the only ones that's "needed" for an Explorer build, the other two are QoL improvements.
My alt's covert/sniper build has extra ammo, will have NV, Battery Capacity and maybe quieter footsteps.

Sometimes the only place a species can be found is on the dark side.
I had one that was only in a valley on the dark side and the ground wasn't conducive to SRV or ship searching. Took me ages running around with just the torch to find them.
Any mod is fairly niche when exploring, all you really need is just an Artemis Suit. So far I've not even used a battery pack since the Alpha for the Artemis.
My justification for NV on the Artemis is that I love hiking in it, and several times I find myself climbing up and down ridges, gorges, etc and if they happen to be on the wrong side of the mountain it gets quite dark, especially when I'm looking for bloody frutexa or fungoids.
That was my debate. The jump seems more than good enough without it, but I don't think I have any need for extra air.
The great thing about jump is that you can extend your forward momentum for as long as you can maintain your jump without further depleting your sprint. Couple this with increased sprint and you can travel a long way without slowing down.
IMO:
1) Nightvision - mandatory for every stroll in the dark side.
2) Improved Jump Assist - to get an escape chance if the "lets explore that ravine" overcomes the common sense
3) Reduced tool consumption - quite effective since it doubles the number of times the bio analyzer can be used on a single charge
4) Improved battery capacity - more energy will always be a good thing
Alternatives for 4)
4a) Extra Oxygen - 5 minutes instead of 60s might make the difference (but 50% more battery, times 4 - the current battery + 3 reserves - means we have the equivalent of 2 more batteries, getting way more than 4 minutes of extralife provided by Extra O2)
4b) Sprint - but jump sprinting can get you way further than simple sprint, even improved one

Also what I was planning (never actually used it yet so concentrating on upgrading the different Maverick and Dominator suits).
I wouldn't bother with O2 on any suit - you're on borrowed time by that point anyway. Get better battery capacity and make sure you have enough energy packs and that your ship/SRV is close by.
I went with Zombi’s loadout as well. Jumping between mountain peaks is a lot of fun.
