Question: Operator exoskeleton technician

[Rodi]

I got the blueprint "makeshift artifact container" for the Operator Exoskeleton, but it says technician can't install it when I go to Bolero (Prypiat) and Harpy (Yaniv). I have tried a few other technicians as well, but I can't find anyone able to install this upgrade.

I’m having the same issue I’ve actually tried every readily available tech and none can install kinda strange lol gonna assume it’s a bug that will take forever to patch

I wonder if it's a main story progression thing? I'm having that issue as well, but I jumped fences and am in Pripyat before I was supposed to be for my leve.

Did anyone figure which tech does the install ?

[Silly Drent]

Okay, I found a solution to mod it completely but it was kind of weird. I downloaded a mod that was called "ANY UPGRADES AT ANY TECHNICIAN" on nexusmods and tried to upgrade my operator exoskeleton at the chemical plant and it didn't work. Then I typed in the console (yes you need another mod for that) "XCheckGamedata", it didn't work, then I typed "XSpawnObjBySID AllTechnicianNPC 1 false 0 0 0" and it still didn't work, but the npc right in front of him gave me the option to trade and upgrade and I could fully upgrade it. I also used another mod to have all blueprints and have no limitations on upgrade. The any upgrades mod doesn't require to type anything in console on a new game.

I wish it would say why some technicians don't upgrade certain weapons, is it because of faction status or are they not qualified to do high end weapons? I don't know but It would be nice if it said something.

If those at Pripyat and Yaniv can't do it, I'd put it on the endless bug list of broken upgrades/ weapon addons.

Yaniv technician is the most advanced and can install most upgrades. There are few that are impossible to install at the moment as the required technical level is not in the game.

2nd most advanced technician is in Pripyat but he still can not upgrade most end-game weapons so you will always want to go to Yaniv for end-game upgrading. This is annoying as Yaniv guide vanishes at certain point in the main story and does not want to come back (it is a bug.. :)).

No. It is not a bug. I believe it is by design as the Operator Exoskeleton is a "Ward Faction" specific Exoskeleton, so the developers have made it only Sgt. Ivaylov in [Friendship Kindergarden, Prypiat] can give you the upgrade "Makeshift Artifact Container".

Of course if you haven't unlock the part where you can interact with that Technician, or if you decide to side with the other faction making you unfriendly with the Ward, you cannot get the upgrade

Edit: or maybe the same dude in Chemical Plant could give you that upgrade? I haven't tried as I have only tried with the one in Prypiat
