Lead Vest

The Lead Vest is a wearable item found across multiple sectors, usually tucked away in secure or hard-to-miss side areas rather than in open routes. It can be obtained in the Office Sector, Cascade Laboratories, and the Residence Sector, making it one of the more widely distributed vest-type items in the game.

In the Office Sector, the Lead Vest can appear on Level 2 in Bio Lab D, in the Data Farms near Dr. Manse’s hologram, and in the Security Office. On Level 3, it can be found in the Silo 3 viewing area, in the small room beneath Analysis Office between the kitchen and Physics Lab D, in Silo 3 itself, and in Physics Lab D. In Cascade Laboratories, it appears on Level 2 in the Particle Lab and in the Wildlife Pens. In the Residence Sector, it is located inside the locked room for Janet Ross and Svetlana Price, which is accessed from the outside.

Because its known sources are spread across different sectors, the Lead Vest is best treated as a scavenging target rather than a guaranteed early pickup from a single route. Several of its locations are in laboratory, security, or restricted rooms, so exploring off the main path is often necessary. The Residence Sector location is especially notable because it sits behind a locked room, while the Office Sector placement includes several interior rooms and lower-access spaces that are easy to overlook during a normal pass through the area.

• Office Sector locations:
  • Level 2: Bio Lab D
  • Level 2: Data Farms, near Dr. Manse’s hologram
  • Level 2: Security Office
  • Level 3: Silo 3 viewing area
  • Level 3: small room under Analysis Office, between the kitchen and Physics Lab D
  • Level 3: Silo 3
  • Level 3: Physics Lab D
• Cascade Laboratories locations:
  • Level 2: Particle Lab
  • Level 2: Wildlife Pens
• Residence Sector location:
  • inside the locked room for Janet Ross and Svetlana Price, accessible from the outside

If you are searching for the Lead Vest specifically, it is worth checking every lab-adjacent storage space, security room, and locked side room in the listed sectors, since the item’s placement favors enclosed, specialized areas rather than central hallways or common loot spots.
