As you approach the late game, self-preservation becomes key, and the enemies that you encounter can be deadly. Naturally, getting better armor is almost mandatory, and the Operator Exoskeleton is a great choice. That said, finding it can be a bit troublesome if you don’t know where you need to look.

Stalker 2 Operator Exoskeleton location explained

To reach the Operator Exoskeleton, you’ll need to be a bit patient. This armor set is located at Fluoridation Station in Jupiter. To be more specific, this location can be found close to Pripyat’s border. To find it easily, just go to the marked location on the map, and you’ll come across the building.

In fact, it’s quite easy to get lost in this complex, and there are anomalies and enemies present as well. It’s better to take a stealth-based approach to find your exoskeleton. The first job is to find a truck located at the side of the main building. Get on the hood of the truck, and you’ll come across pipes.

If you look forward, these pipes will lead you all the way to the other end of the building. Get on top of these pipes and travel to the point where they end. On the way, you’ll come across electric anomalies, so be careful as you go past them.

Once the pipe ends, jump to the second floor of the building. Go inside, and you’ll find the Operator Exoskeleton suit waiting for you. There’s a stash as well located at this location. Make sure to get it if you want to get more resources for your inventory.

Apart from offering better protection, this armor provides +6.4 KG to maximum weight. This bonus weight capacity will solve some of the issues you could get by carrying too many things at once. There are four artifact slots available on the suit, which is another big benefit. All things considered, it’s certainly an armor set that’s worth your time and effort.
