;Patriarch: Their armour offers the best protection of all the Spyrer armour suits, and it is only worn by those who have already proven themselves and cannot evolve further. It is equipped with four [[mechadendrite]] arms, two wielding [[power claw]]s and two with pulse [[laser]]s that can track and target multiple opponents simultaneously due to the advanced sensor arrays built into the rig.{{Fn|3b}}
;Matriarch: Their armour is designed for quietly stalking opponents from the shadows and slaying them up close, equipped with a [[camo-cloak]] to hide their position and mask their movements so that they cannot be tracked either at range or in melee. They expertly dual-wield a large [[chainsword|chainscythe]] and a [[monomolecular sword]]. Their armour offers the highest levels of speed and mobility and cannot evolve any further.{{Fn|3b}}
;Sthenian: A rare Spyrer rig that was thought lost long ago until it was found by [[Haera Helmawr|Haera]] and [[Tamino Helmawr]] in the ruins of [[Hive Secundus]]. The Sthenian is equipped with neural needles that implant themselves directly into the skull of the rig's owner and greatly enhances their ferocity. It also has a pair of claws set above the owner's own arms and [[Medusian Projector]]s, that immobilizes immobilize and shut down the nervous systems of prey. The Sthenian's owner will also become reckless in battle, should they find themselves near another Spyrer Hunter.{{Fn|7}}
In addition to the unique properties of the Spyrer rigs, they also share similar upgrades observed across the various different rigs. Advanced '''Combat Neuroweave''' can enhance nearly any user characteristic including speed, accuracy, skill at arms, toughness, and the severity of wounds they can sustain and remain fighting. Spyrer rigs are also capable of thickening with sustained use to provide even greater defense to their users.{{Fn|3b}}
