How to get the Diamond Exoskeleton Suit early - Stalker 2

As an old-school Stalker player with countless hours spent navigating the treacherous landscapes of the Zone, I can confidently say that the Diamond Exoskeleton Suit is the pièce de résistance among all gear in this game. The wait for it has always been a test of patience, but now, thanks to a cunning trick from P3nAIPineapple, I found myself donning the suit much earlier than expected.

The Diamond Exoskeleton Suit boasts exceptional ratings for shielding against both physical and radiational harm, as well as robust performance in terms of heat, electricity, chemicals, and psychic forces. This makes it one of the top gear sets within the game. Typically, players have to wait until later stages of the game to acquire this suit, but a method has been discovered to obtain it earlier on.

The Diamond Exoskeleton Suit is located at Spark Bunker within the Yaniv region. You’ll have a chance to visit this place later in the game, and from there, you can access the roof quite easily. If you prefer to obtain the suit earlier, then YouTube user P3nAIPineapple has shared a helpful trick for doing so.

To reach Yaniv, start by traveling west from Zalyssia in the Lesser Zone towards the Chemical Plant region. Next, continue north through Rostok, the Red Forest, and eventually end up in Yaniv. Upon arrival in Yaniv, visit the Yaniv Station settlement first, save your game there, and then take a short trip to the Spark Bunker. You can accomplish this early in the game if you have some effective weapons, armor, and an ample supply of radiation medicine.

  • A – Yaniv Station
  • B – Spark Bunker
  • C – The red railcar with car

The Diamond Exoskeleton Suit has been placed on the rooftop, and since there’s no means of ascending, this situation calls for some well-exercised patience. In the far-off horizon, you’ll notice a whirlwind moving debris about. Your goal should be to navigate towards it, staying alert for a solitary, red railcar. Inside this railcar, you’ll find a box that can be gradually moved back towards the bunker.

Be cautious in this area since it’s possible for bandits or stray dogs to appear, and they could accidentally damage the box during their attacks if you happen to be unlucky.

This task requires some time and careful handling. The trickiest parts involve extracting the box from the railcar, as it tends to jam against the door lip, and moving it across the train tracks, so choose a path that gently ascends to meet the track level. Be extremely patient during these steps, and I discovered that I achieved the best results by crawling and pushing the box. Moreover, you’ll need an ample supply of radiation medication since this location will swiftly attempt to poison you with environmental radiation.

It’s wise to save your progress frequently too. The container could malfunction due to peculiar physics, causing you to lose all your progress and forcing a complete restart of your journey. When you come back to the shelter, shove the box towards the bottom edge to gain access to platforms you can leap onto. This will help you reach the rooftop where the Diamond Exoskeleton is located.

One quick note is that if you end up on the roof at night, it is worth hanging around because many friendly humans spawn in and fight Bloodsuckers, and the banter between them is pretty funny. Give it a try if you are in the mood for a chill camping trip on the roof.

How to upgrade the Diamond Exoskeleton

Initially, upon receiving this gear, you won’t have the ability to run with it right away. To enhance its capabilities, make your way back to Yaniv Station and converse with the technician named Harpy. Once there, choose ‘Upgrade’ from the options she presents, then select the central upgrade node on the armor’s chest. Install Sewn-On Pockets for 7500 Coupons and Hydraulic Amplifiers for Servos for an additional 15,000 Coupons, and your suit will now be equipped to sprint.
