Linna's hardsuit was optomized for her amazing skill in close-quarters and melee combat. It is lightly armored, and the gauntlet contains only a knuckle bomber and a laser cannon. The hardsuit's main weapon is the monomolecular ribbons attached to the helmet. These ribbons operate much like a whip, snapped with a sudden movement of Linna's head, and they cut through just about everything. They would cut through the hardsuit too, if the cutting edges couldn't be rapidly "deactivated" by sliding the monomolecular filiment from the edge of the ribbon to the center, effectively dulling the ribbon.
Linna's hardsuit was redesigned along with all the others, but required little true redesign since most of its systems had performed extremely well. However, much of the suit's melee abilities were enhanced, since the need for heavy assault had been nearly totally taken by Priss. The ribbon cutters were made retractable into the helmet for ease of use, and the laser in the gauntlet was improved. In addition, Scoop Chase seems to show Linna cutting up a Boomer with a blade, but supposedly she doesn't have one built into her gauntlet. Just another minor oversight.
