The Bulwark Exoskeleton is one of the best suits of armor in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl due to its exceptional radioactive and physical damage protection. Pairing the exoskeleton suit with the lead container upgrade will help you further nullify radiation from equipped artifacts, making the suit viable mid to late-game equipment. Both the suit and blueprint are present in two separate locations within Pripyat, and here's how you can get them both in one run.

How to Get Bulwark Exoskeleton Suit in Stalker 2

Players can find the Bulwark Exosuit inside the Music School building in the Pripyat region of Stalker 2. The building is just east of the Energetik Palace of Culture base, close to the Prometheus Movie Theater. Once you arrive at the location, you need to go to the back of the building to spot a row of windows on the first floor.

Equip a grenade and throw it inside the second window from the left in the upper row to break the boards behind a locked door and open it up. After you're done, turn right, head inside the building, and make your way to the first floor through the auditorium.

There are multiple anomalies in the building on your way to reach the Bulwark Exosuit. Make sure to have enough medkits to replenish your health along the way.

Head into the previously Music School locked room to find the Bulwark Exoskeleton suit lying on a table next to a vault. You can also loot the vault to get some useful items.

How to Get the Lead Container Blueprint for Bulwark Exoskeleton

To get the Lead Container blueprint for the Bulwark Exosuit, you'll need to head over to the Industrial Hospital No126 building in Pripyat in Stalker 2. The building is located southeast of the Palace of Culture base, and the stash is marked as the "Hard-To-Reach" stash on the map.

Getting the blueprint requires much less effort compared to the exosuit. You'll simply need to walk into the Industrial Hospital and go through the hallway on the left. You'll spot a locked door in the hospital on the left and a broken window on the right. Vault through the window and enter the room with the stash.

You'll find the stash on a shelf that contains the Lead Container blueprint for the Bulwark Exosuit. Players can also get a Kharod assault rifle on the shelf, just above the stash, alongside some ammo and medkits.
