X01 3.5-Plate Armor Vest: crafting and ingredient route

Prepare the 3.5-Plate Vest recipe, search for the named sample, use the X01 Printer and check the actual output.

In short

The 3.5-Plate Armor Vest is an Ultra plate carrier with a listed X01 Printer bill. Reserve its three input types, select the exact vest at the in-world Printer and inspect the finished item before planning extraction.

Pack the correct recipe

IngredientRequired
Specter Fabric Sample1
Power Regulator2
Structural Alloy5

If you already own part of the bill, target only the shortage. Specter Fabric Sample is an observed Captain-loot possibility, not a guaranteed drop. The recipe panel does not establish a way to print the sample itself.

Follow the preparation route

  1. Check your stock and reserve the sample for this vest rather than spending it on Argonaut Armor. The two recipes have different remaining inputs.
  2. If you need the sample, prepare a Captain encounter, inspect the actual loot and pick up the named item if present. If absent, keep useful supplies and leave instead of assuming another container guarantees it.
  3. Complete your Power Regulator and Structural Alloy shortage using supported loot searches. The material guide supplies container hints, not fixed spawns.
  4. Reach the Production Assembly Printer, select 3.5-Plate Armor Vest, compare required quantities and print when available. Collect and inspect the output.
  5. Check the equipment slot and the active extraction route. Printing an item does not itself complete a successful exfil or establish a permanent FOB recipe unlock.

Read the value correctly

A recorded tooltip and FOB sell quote show 15,000. That is a displayed item value, not a confirmed purchase price. The name 3.5-Plate does not establish an exact health total or a universal damage comparison. Keep those unknowns separate from the verified recipe. For a broader craft plan, compare the X01 ingredient conversions.
