Hey guys, so I was playing a game with my mates on the weekend and one of my friends just got this suit, he was saying he got a 2+ Invulnerable save, but because I haven't played for ages I didn't question it. I was fighting him in close combat if that changes anything to do with stealth too
Thanks guys

Ghostkeel only gives bonuses to cover saves, Cover saves are not invulnerable saves. You can't even use cover saves against close combat attacks.

Ghostkeels have an inherent 2+ cover save in the open due to their special rules. In addition, they can take a 4++ invul save as wargear. That's it, nothing more.

This is also only partially true.

The Ghostkeel has a 2+ cover save in the open at ranges greater than 12", but it only has a 4+ cover save in the open at ranges of 12" or less. More so, it only has that good of a save as long as one of its stealth drones are alive, if both of those die, it goes to a 5+ and 6+ cover save respectively. I can see how someone can confuse cover saves with invulnerable saves, they do function somewhat the same in a lot of cases, it's just one is easy to ignore and can't be used in close combat.

Oh, and don't forget it can also have a 5+++ Feel No Pain save off of wargear too (Stimulant Injectors are love).

Never accept anything a person says about a rule that sounds odd to you. Politely ask them to show you the rule in the book.
