Toward the end of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, you’ll be finding the best equipment in the game. For armor, this is the exoskeletons. Read on to find out where you can find each one, what their stats are, and where you can upgrade them.

Exoskeleton Location¶

You can find this Exoskeleton during the main mission, Legends of the Zone. When you get to the bottom of the bunker, you’ll find a room full of TVs. Exit to the north of the room via the door with the red light, and go up the stairs against the right wall. Now, head inside the first room on your right, and look in the corner to the right for the Exoskeleton.

Cuirass Exoskeleton Location¶

The Cuirass Exoskeleton is located in the SKD Assembly Unit POI in the Cooling Towers region. You can reach this area by heading east from Garbage into the Cement Factory region, and from there, north, to get to the Cooling Towers. Once you’ve reached the Cooling Towers, stay on the main path and follow it northwest until you reach the first intersection, go north and east around the Burning Fire Depot, and continue north along the road. Just past the next intersection, you’ll find the SKD Assembly Unit POI.

Once you’ve reached the SKD building, go around the outside of the building to the southeast corner, where you’ll find some stairs. Take the stairs up to the top and enter the building. Inside, follow the corridor north and east, and then head through the hole in the wall. Immediately to your left is a ladder, climb it, and follow the walkway south to find the Curiass Exoskeleton.

Operator Exoskeleton Location¶

Jupiter is a late-game area accessed during The Boundary main mission. Although the Fluoridation Station is technically in Jupiter, it’s near the Yaniv Station hub. Simply head directly north from the station and you’ll eventually reach the Fluoridation Station. At the station, head toward the building in the northwest to find a wrecked blue truck. Climb the bonnet to reach the rooftop of the building, and from there, jump onto the pipes to the south.

Follow the pipes to the end while throwing bolts at the electric anomalies along the way. At the end, jump over onto the plank on the right side of the broken wall (where the pillar is leaning). This will take you to a small room where you can find the Operator Exoskeleton on the shelf to the left, next to the stash.

Diamond Exoskeleton Location¶

There are two places to find this Exoskeleton, one can be found in the Sunny Kindergarten in Prypiat, the other in the Spark Bunker in Yaniv.

Spark Bunker - Yaniv¶

Spark Bunker is to the southwest of Yaniv Station. To access the Spark Bunker, you will need to be on The Boundary main mission. Enter the bunker, follow the path, and go through the door in front of you. To the left of the key card door is a ladder. Climb the ladder to the rooftop, go down the stairs to the north, head left, and left one more time to find the Diamond Exoskeleton.

Sunny Kindergarten - Prypiat¶

This one requires more effort on your part. The Kindergarten is directly in the center of Prypiat, southeast of the Enerhetyk Palace of Culture hub. You can enter the area via the southern side of the building, but be aware that there are many guards in and around this place. Go through the entrance, head northeast through the room, and go through the door to your left. Continue northeast to the end of the long hallway, and go through the door to your left to find the stairs. Take the stairs to the top, go through the hole in the wall, and enter the room to the right with the Psi Emitter. The Diamond Exoskeleton will be against the wall to the right.

Liberty Exoskeleton Location¶

Prypiat becomes available during The Boundary main mission late in the game. From the Enerhetyk Palace of Culture (main hub), follow the road southeast to the entrance of the region. Now, head northwest back up the road until you reach the intersection, and go northeast. The Bookstore will be the large building just past the second intersection on your right. Note that there is a good chance of you being attacked by packs of dogs and a Pseudodog, so be careful around here.

Enter the Bookstore via the double red doors, head left, and go through the large book room to find some stairs in the southwest. Head up to the second floor and follow the hallway into the room. At the back of the room, you’ll find the Liberty Exoskeleton sitting on top of the drawers.

Brummbar Exoskeleton Location¶

From the Enerhetyk Palace of Culture hub in Prypiat, head southeast into the courtyard to find the “White House” building to your left. The entrance is located in the center of the building, on the southern side. Enter the building and head west until you reach the open room with lots of furniture scattered about. The furniture is placed like a maze, and you’ll need to navigate through it while staying crouched. The reason for this is to avoid taking bleeding damage from the shards of glass anomaly that is present.

Getting through the maze is simple enough as long as you keep heading south. At the end of the maze, go through the doorway and up the small set of stairs, and follow the hallway to the end to find a stairwell. Head up to the fifth floor (you’ll find graffiti on the wall), and enter the door to your right. Numerous Monolithians will attack you, so come prepared. The Brummbar Exoskeleton is on top of some drawers in the central room to your left, by the window.

Ruby Exosuit Location¶

This Exosuit requires you to do a trick shot with a grenade (or RPG) to open the locked doors. From the Enerhetyk Palace of Culture hub area, exit, follow the hallway northeast, and go down the stairs at the end. Continue northeast to drop outside the building, then follow the path northwest for a little while, looking to your left. You will find nine open windows, and you’ll want to throw a grenade in the right corner of the top-right window. This will destroy a lock, allowing you to explore further.

Head back up the set of stairs you came down, opposite the main hub, but go to the right of the stairs and follow the path northeast. At the end of the path, head left past the stairs, and go through the northwest hallway into the large blue room. Turn to the southwest, head up the stairs against the wall, and follow the walkway until you reach an open door. This is the door you opened by throwing the grenade earlier. Inside the room, you’ll find the Ruby Exoskeleton on top of the cupboards to your right.

That’s it for the Exoskeletons. Each of these armors can have special upgrades installed at either technician Harpy of Yaniv Station, or technician Bolero of Prypriat. Some of these upgrades will allow the exosuit to sprint or jump, as some of them can’t do that from the start.
