Best Early Game Armor Exploit

Mark I Spacesuit Set

Mark I Space Helmet	Mark I Spacesuit	Mark I Pack

The Mark I Spacesuit Set is the best early game armor you can get because of it has the highest defensive stats overall. However, you can only obtain this armor at the start of the game by using an exploit. Otherwise, the only legitimate way to get it is by lockpicking.

How to Get the Mark I Set

You can find the Mark I Spacesuit Set locked in the basement of The Lodge in New Atlantis. You don't even have to bother opening the Master-level lock that's keeping you from getting the armor set.

Simply get close to the mannequin and aim your crosshair at its arm through the glass capsule's small gap. This will change the prompt from the lock to the mannequin. This can be done whether you're on first person POV or third person! It also works on PC and Xbox!

This exploit makes it the best armor sets you can get immediately in the game, as you can get it before even finishing the first mission One Small Step. Although, you can still choose to attain it normally by lockpicking it.
