Black Cerberus Gear is a Gear Set in The Surge.
Black Cerberus Gear details
"Cerberus is the ultimate in anti-personnel combat gear. CREO regrets that it is necessary to maintain a trained paramilitary force, but the mission to save the Earth is too crucial to let idealism get in the way of operational security. This set of Cerberus gear has been customized with experimental components, authorized only for use by the ranking Security Chief."
Black Cerberus Gear bonus
"Wearing a full set of Black Cerberus Gear grants increased damage at a high level of energy."
Black Cerberus Gear Pieces
Black Cerberus Gear Location/ Where to find
- Dismember Black Cerberus Boss; the entire set can be obtained on first playthrough (see Tips & Notes below).
- "Elite" enemies in NG+ (These enemies can only be found in NG+ and do not respawn!)
- The headpiece will spawn on an enemy that appears in Episode 8 of the Testing Chamber. Disabling the lights near the end of the first area will cause him to spawn.
- This enemy also spawns with the MG Judge V2.0. Killing him with your own MG Judge V2.0 will satisfy the Was That Yours? achievement.
Black Cerberus Gear Tips & Notes
- There are 2 white tanks with a green LED indicator that says "online" in the boss room. These tanks can be destroyed by the P.A.X.'s rockets. Attack P.A.X. until the stagger meter under its health bar (the orange one) is filled and then distance yourself from it to force it to fire its rockets. Stand in front of the white tanks and dodge the missiles to cause them to destroy the tanks. Once both tanks are destroyed, defeat P.A.X. and continue fighting the Black Cerberus boss. Once his health is low, severing his right arm will drop the entire gear set as well as the MG Judge V2.0.
- The damage bonus is increased depending on your level of energy :
- +5% damage bonus if your energy is between 36 and 72 points
- +20% damage bonus if your energy is over 72 points - With the following Implants, it is possible to keep your energy meter above the required set bonus thresholds, allowing you to have a perpetual +20% damage bonus: Rig Capacitor, Rig Capacitor XL, Rig Capacitor XXL (DLC) Turbo-Dynamic Capacitor V.2 (DLC) and Turbo-Dynamic Capacitor V.5 (DLC). Once the energy is acquired through attacking a few enemies, it will remain above the required thresholds until it is spent or until death.

This armor leaves a hell of a lot to be desired unfortunately. It's not bad at all but given how late you're able to obtain it, it just doesn't compare to some of the sets you most likely already have. His weapon though... literally a top tier heavy duty.

i could have sworn my first time playing frontier riders ep. 8 had a black cerberus unit when you turn off the sun, i don't remember now but i don't think they spawn there, even with a high v2 loot multiplier from modifiers. there was also no black cerberus unit in the executive forum in ng+ (i didn't explore fully, so maybe that's not true)

I destroyed the silos and only got the head. I beat him by cutting off his head, so I ended up with two of them. I don't understand at all.

I think what you get is based on which parts you attack during the fight. I went in blind and didn't destroy the silos. When fighting the boss I attacked right arm and head. Finished by cutting off his right arm, got the weapon, arm, and head.

Wiki Notes are wrong, confirmed he drops his armor schematics in the DLC in episode 8 as I acquired the helmet and crafted it, dunno if he drops his weapon the Judge as I have it already

You can also get Black Cerberus parts off of the guard in front of the elevator to the Nucleus. My first playthough I got the arms and Judge 2.0 off of the boss and I got the helmet off of him.

In full: if PAX destroys the silos you will get Black Cerberus body, head and legs no matter what you do. If you sever his left arm, Black Cerberus arms and MG Judge. Any other part of his body, that part and MG Judge. No part of his body, just MG Judge. His right arm, Black Cerberus arms and MG Judge 2.0. Also isn't there a second unit in Black Cerberus gear in the Executive Forum area?

You have to destroy the silos using pax if you want the armor.

gives 5% damage increase with power over 25~ish, and 20% damage increase with power over 72~ish.
Doesn't seem to matter what total power is, so not a % of total power, but rather over that fixed value.
The 20% damage bonus is surreal, it feels like cheating with claws of gestalt.
