Overview

The Hazardous Materials Suit is an equippable item worn by scientists to study radiation and biohazardous materials. It functions primarily as strong protection against radiation, greatly reducing radiation buildup while worn. This suit appears across multiple game locations and is often placed in laboratories, containment areas, and near hazardous installations where exposure to radiation or biological contaminants is expected.

The suit is available in an assortment of fixed spawns across regions:

  • Flathill: in the bed of a truck that has an Email Terminal on it.
  • Cascade Laboratories: several spawns across Level 2 and Level 3. On Level 2 it appears in a room upstairs from the lobby near the toilets, in the Wildlife Pens, and twice near the area where the Dark Lens was stolen and close to Dr. Newman near the portal that opens to Rise. On Level 3 it appears in Adjustment close to a Dr. Manse Hologram, twice upstairs near lockers in Adjustment, and inside the Holding Cell (the cell is reached either by being captured by the nearby Containment Robot or via a hatch above a dumpster).
  • Reactors: multiple reactor-area spawns. In the Mist Reactor near a Corrupted Robot; in the Dusk Reactor on the second-level laboratory where Dr. Suan Tengku is; in the Gale Reactor after the large battle area where Gatekeepers fight the Order, through the doors to the Depleted Fuel area on an outside walkway; in the Gale Reactor bottom area in a room with lockers and a restroom; in the Cloud Reactor along the passage filled with dead Order soldiers and again nearby some lockers and benches after that passage; and close to the reactor core itself in the Cloud Reactor.

Practical usage and interaction notes:

  • Equip the Hazardous Materials Suit before entering irradiated rooms, reactor cores, or any area that explicitly causes radiation buildup to maximize survivability and exploration time. It is the primary item for mitigating radiation accumulation.
  • Because spawns are fixed, visiting the listed locations is the most reliable way to obtain a suit. Check truck beds, lab rooms, locker areas, wildlife pens, and passages near reactor infrastructure.
  • In Cascade Laboratories Level 3, obtaining the suit inside the Holding Cell requires either being captured by the nearby Containment Robot (allowing in-cell access) or locating and using the hatch above the dumpster to enter the cell from outside.
  • Multiple suits can exist within a single region; if one spawn is already picked up, search nearby labs, lockers, and service passages for additional copies.
  • Preserve suit integrity by avoiding hostile damage where possible; while the suit strongly reduces radiation buildup, it does not make the wearer immune to other forms of damage encountered in hazardous areas.
