The LS209 Exoskeleton is a bipedal weapon platform which represents the latest in the ISA's development of war machines. It was used by ISA forces in the Second Extrasolar War against the Helghast.

Specifications

Fast and agile, the ISA Exoskeleton is ideal for providing support for convoys, as it is able to traverse even the most difficult of terrain, as opposed to being confined to established trails and roads. It is equipped with advanced armor plating, and furthermore, it is rugged and reliable enough to withstand the worst of Helghan's electric storms. Despite proving its worth however, the suit itself is just a mass produced prototype.

The prototype in Killzone 3 is the third model type, and the first to be mass produced, as the first two exploded during unmanned testing. Several technicians can be heard discussing the suit's drawbacks and abilities, with the most major drawback being the lifespan of the vehicle, stated to only be capable of usage on Helghan for a few months before breaking down. The pilot is also quite vulnerable due to the fragile glass windshield that seals the cockpit.

Weapons

The LS209 is armed with a 70mm rocket launcher mounted on the left arm, and a right arm-mounted M224 MOMAG .50 Caliber M224 machine gun.

Killzone 3

The Exoskeleton is first used by Sev and Rico in "Pyrrhus Evac".

Multiplayer

The controls for the Exo in multiplayer are identical to those in the campaign. The damage on the heavy machine gun is increased and also remains constant at extreme range. The repair on the Exo is different, as it is only capable of regenerating up to 75% of the total health, once sufficient damage has been sustained to take it below that level.

The Exoskeleton is usable during botzone in the map "Corinth Highway" and "Salamun Market".

Trivia

• During the mission Evacuation Orders, if you manage to fail the mission numerous times, The exoskeleton that sits back on the bridge glitches out. The pilot will disappear and If you shoot into the cockpit blood will still spawn in. Strangely an ISA mannequin will spawn sitting on top of the exo clipping into it. This model lacks any face and is essentially a floating uniform.
• Many Exoskeletons can be seen aboard the New Sun.
• The LS209 is the only vehicle in the Killzone series to have a serial designation.
• The Exosuit was excluded from Killzone Shadow Fall multiplayer in order to ensure that custom Warzone presets work on all maps.^[1]
• The LS209's designation is maybe a reference to the ED-209 from the 1987 film Robocop. Like the LS209, the ED-209 is an automated bipedal machine that is also depicted to having several performance issues.
