The Exoskeleton is an armour that appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha and all other canon S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games.
| “ | A military exoskeleton prototype. It never went into serial production, because of extreme cost and some design flaws. It is however produced in small batches in small illegal factories outside of Ukraine. This is a third generation exoskeleton. The design defects which used to decrease its mobility were eliminated and the armor was reinforced. It provides excellent bullet and splinter protection. It has a low level of anomaly protection. - PDA description |

Notes[]
- Also adds 20 resp. 30 kg to carrying capacity for a player.
- Despite the PDA description the armour still impairs the mobility:
- In Lost Alpha (-v1.3003) it is not possible to run wearing this armour (unless cheating).
- In the Developer's Cut (v1.4000+) you have to upgrade the armour to be able to run.
- Can be bought from Barkeep and Ugrymiy. Can be bought from Sidorovich after reaching Pripyat.
- Located between the topmost 2 of the 6 concrete cupolas in the middle-northern part of the map CNPP., leaning against a pipe support.
Trivia[]
- Before v1.4005, The Exoskeleton and the Exoskeleton's prototype are the only two armours in Developer's Cut with the possibility for an upgrade of Night vision capabilities.
- v1.4007 and possibly v1.4006 had lost this upgrade, even though upgrade files state otherwise. There is a fix (restoration) for v1.4007 on ModDB, or see Bugfixing.
