The Cooling Towers region becomes accessible after leaving the Lesser Zone: you can also find the Grom S-15 Assault Rifle in this region. From the Slag Heap, travel northeast to the Concrete Factory. From there, pass through the Duty faction base that guards a bridge leading to the Cooling Towers. Duty faction members allow lone travelers to cross, granting you access to this vital area.

The Cuirass Exoskeleton is located in the SKD Assembly Unit, a large building in the Cooling Towers region, situated north of the Concrete Factory. To find it, enter the SKD Assembly Unit from the east entrance and take the stairs on the left. Ascend through multiple levels until you locate a ladder leading to the topmost rafter. On this rafter, you'll find the armor resting on a shelf.

The ground floor of the SKD Assembly Unit is often a warzone, as Monolith cultists clash with other factions. Fortunately, you can avoid combat by sprinting to the upper levels and heading straight for the armor.
