Designer Notes
The N is specifically equipped for night fighting and incorporates dedicated systems to improve its performance under low or no-light conditions. Those include additional low-light cameras and sensors as well as a pair of powerful searchlights mounted on the torso. The exhausts of the V-engine are covered by a special muffler called "Whisperdeath" that attenuates the noise and disperses the combustion gasses by mixing them with cool air and ejecting them in a fan-shaped pattern toward the ground at the back of the machine. Many protuberances on the body of the Gear, such as bolts, are replaced by concealed versions and the entire hull is coated with a non-reflective paint. The paint comes in two grades that have different heat absorption gradients, with both applied in random patterns; this help break the infrared silhouette of the machine. All these measures reduce the sensor signature of the Night Hunter, though they do not make it a true stealth unit.
