Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobylallows players to visit different regions on the map and get theirweapons and gear upgraded by technicians. However, there are some instances where players receive a message saying, “The Technician Cannot Install This Upgrade.” If you’re seeing this, it means that the current technician doesn’t have the expertise required to upgrade your weapon or gear. So, how exactly can you upgrade your weapon or gear after seeing this message inStalker 2?
What Should You Do When A Technician Cannot Install An Upgrade In Stalker 2?
After starting upStalker 2, the first base that players will be visiting in the Lesser Zone will be Zalissya. The technician in Zalissya is called Lens, and he can repair and upgrade almost all the weapons and gear you throw at him.
However, if you explore the region outside of missions, you’re bound tostumble upon some higher-level gear. Bringing it back to Lens will often give the message that the technician cannot install an upgrade to it. When this happens, players should visit other technicians.
Visit Another Technician with Higher Equipment Expertise
To visit other technicians inStalker 2, players will have to travel to another region in the game. For players who’ve just started the game, they’ll have tocomplete the"Behind Seven Seals"main missionto open up access to other regions on the map. Depending on your choices in this mission, players will either head over to the Chemical Plant or the Garbage regions.
In all regions you visit, you’ll find a base with a technician ready to take on your upgrade or repair requests. For example, when traveling to the Garbage region, players can find Diode, who’s a technician at the Slag Heap with greater equipment expertise. So, it’s highly likely that he’ll be able to upgrade your weapons that Lens couldn’t without giving you the “Technician cannot install the upgrade” message inStalker 2.
