Each model includes a special weapon. When you attack with that weapon, you can add your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, to the attack and damage rolls.You can change the armor's model whenever you finish a short or long rest, provided you have smith's tools in hand.

A creature hit by the gauntlet has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn, as the armor magically emits a distracting pulse when the creature attacks someone else.
• Defensive Field. As a bonus action, you can gain temporary hit points equal to your level in this class, replacing any temporary hit points you already have. You lose these temporary hit points if you doff the armor. You can use this bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with it, you can mark it with a tracer round, giving advantage on any attacks roll targeting that creature.
• Trench digger. When you wear this specific model of the Enhanced Combat Suit you can cast the Mold Earth cantrip. This cantrip count as artificer spells for you, but it doesn't count against the number of artificer cantrip you know. You lose this privilege as soon as you don off the armor or you change model.
• Minelayer Tool: A small metal device appears on your armor's back. As an action,you can deploy magic caltrops from it to cover a square area that is 5 feet on a side.This area must be adiacent to you. Any creature that enters the area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or stop moving this turn and take 1d4 fire damage as the caltrops explode and are destroyed in the process. Taking this damage make the creature go prone. The test must be taken even if the creature moving trough the caltrops is moving at half speed.
