The suits in Stalker 2 are there to offer the best protection while exploring the infested lands of The Zone. As you head deeper into the game, you can unlock better suits with better stats. Just collecting the suits isn’t enough though: you must upgrade them to fully realize all benefits. There are technicians who can help you do that, but some special upgrades require blueprints to be collected first, and that holds true for the Operator Exoskeleton suit as well! In this guide we have covered how to get all Operator Exoskeleton Blueprints in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
Stalker 2 All Blueprints For The Operator Exoskeleton
There are 3 blueprints to collect for the Operator Exoskeleton and you get them in the Burnt Forest, Malachite, and Prypiat regions. These blueprints and their effects are:
- All Titanium Components: Physical Protection + 10%, Wear Resistance +15%
- Arm Servos: Accuracy +20%
- Lead Container: Radiation Protection
The Lead Container blueprint can be obtained from 2 places, and we have details below on all of them. Let’s get started with the first blueprint – the All Titanium Components.
Blueprint #1: All Titanium Components
This blueprint is found while exploring the X15 Lab in Burnt Forest. While the path is a long one, it is pretty linear. Head down the stairs on the south side of the building and it will lead you to the basement. Keep going downstairs till you come across 3 large vats in the room, then go down the stairs till you reach a doorway near some crates. Head inside, immediately turn left, then enter the code 4221 into the keypad next to the large door. Get inside and enter the first door on the right, then go down and out of the door on the other side of the room.
Head upstairs and follow the linear path till you reach a large hole in the floor. Climb down the ladder and exit the area, then jump down on top of the pipes where you can spot several rats swarming around. Make your way across to the computer and an area filled with radiation. You have to enter this radiation-infested floor to find a safe with the All Titanium Components blueprint.
Blueprint #2: Arm Servos
For this blueprint, head over to Malachite’s VPC Mirror on the westernmost section of the region. Head inside the electric power area in the north and dispel the anomalies around to collect a Stalker’s Stash with the Arm Servos blueprint.
Blueprint #3: Lead Container
There are two locations in Pripyat where you can collect the Lead Container blueprint for the Operator Exoskeleton. The first is in Zustrich Canteen in the southern part of Prypiat. Inside the building is a safe in one of the rooms, unlock it to get the Lead Container blueprint.
The second Lead Container blueprint is in the CSC building in the northern part of the region. Enter through the southwestern entrance and head up the staircase on the right. Go through the corridor and enter the last door on the right, then crawl through the hole in the wall. Turn on the generator inside the room, then exit out the window behind the generator.
Down below, you will spot a flight of stairs going down. Go all the way down the passage and turn on the switch. Once done, turn around and you will find a grill door. This will be unlocked now, and you can head inside to open a safe and collect the Lead Container blueprint.
Operator Exoskeleton Technician Location
There are two technicians you can visit to upgrade the Operator Exoskeleton. While in Prypiat, you can visit Bolero at the Enerhetyk Palace of Culture within Prypiat. If you are exploring Yaniv, you can meet Harpy at Yaniv Station to help with the upgrade. These two technicians in Stalker 2 can help you upgrade various end game gear and weapons if you have the blueprints, and we have guides on some of them like the ones for the PSZ-9I Falcon and the Liberty Exoskeleton.
