Comprehensive List of Chipset Locations - Help Me Out? (WIP)

Spoiler

So I put together no-nonsense guides. I'm currently trying my best to set up a full chipset guide for Prey. If you guys are able to help fill in the gaps, or better yet, find one that's missing on someone's corpse or something, I'd be grateful! Also, please supply visual proof of your discoveries if you're able!

INFO

  • Chipsets are mostly randomized in which bonuses they give, minus objective-based ones, like the one Alex gives you later to scan coral.

  • Since chipsets come from a pool, you have a chance of getting a chipset you already have. The effects don't stack either. (u/Golgotha82)

  • Chipsets spawn when you first enter an area (Talos I Lobby, Psychotronics, Crew Quarters, etc...), if you don't mind losing a little progress, you can reload an earlier save before you entered and get a different result in what you loot! (u/xstivenx)

  • Supply crates (red & white boxes) and safes (Fire alarm safes included - http://imgur.com/a/Xfv85) seem to have randomized loot, so if there's a chipset reportedly in one of these containers, you might, or might not get one! With this in mind though, there's potentially a lot of places chipsets can spawn randomly.

  • I've been using the Prima strategy guide and my own exploration of the game to form this list. Neither of which are perfectly thorough!
