This page of IGN's Stray wiki guide focuses on how to find the Worker Jacket and Worker Helmet needed to steal the atomic battery in Chapter 10 - Midtown. After speaking to Clementine, she'll ask you to find her contact, Blazer, and sneak into the Neco Corporation. Blazer's plan to sneak into the Neco building requires you to steal a worker jacket and helmet. This page will take guide you through the cat burgling process. You can also watch the video below to see a full walkthrough of Chapter 10 - Midtown.

Find Blazer - Contact Message

After your initial meeting with Clementine, she'll give you the Contact Message, which you need to deliver to Blazer. Exit Clementine's apartment, the way you entered. Head back down and out of the housing complex, and through the main Midtown street. You’ll want to head back towards the entrance, and look for the small alleyway on the right leading to the Neco Corporation entrance.

At the back alley path, there’s a robot reading a newspaper named Blazer, and he is the informant you seek. Show him the note and he’ll clue you in on his plan to infiltrate the Nceo Corporation.

They turn away anyone not dressed like a worker, so it’s your job to find a Worker Jacket and a Worker Helmet to disguise Blazer to help get you inside.

Get the Worker Jacket

Back in the main street of Midtown, if you look just to the left of the main plaza, you can find a clothing store, and there’s even a mannequin in the front of the shop with a red worker jacket. However, the store owner is right there, and stealing in plain sight is a bit frowned upon. Stealing without witnesses, however, is another matter - so you need a distraction.

Said distraction can be found in the form of a cassette player in the changing room at the back of the shop, but you need something loud and distracting to play. You may remember another robot was carrying around a large cassette player not far away.

Get the Cassette - Destroy the Cameras

Return to the housing complex where Clementine lives and interact with the three hooligan robots on the main floor. The main Companion has a stack of cassettes, but he won’t let you just walk away with one - at least not until you help them first. He’ll ask that you take out all three surveillance cameras in the complex so they can be free to do what they want without the Sentinels spying on them.

Luckily, this is an easy task for a feline. All you need to do is head up to the second floor, and look for the cameras along the outer edge of the balcony. There’s one on top of a sign near a yellow cable, and another next to some fans - you need only jump onto the top of the camera and off again to break them.

One more can be found above a doorway with a large red dot, so you’ll need to climb up the wooden planks above the home’s windows to jump on the camera.

Once you’ve completed this nefarious task, return down to Simon, and he’ll happily give you his Cassette Tape full of incredibly loud and annoying music.

Return to the Clothing Store

Take the Cassette Tape back to the clothing store’s changing room, triggering a loud distraction.

When you head into the front room, the owner will race into the back to try and turn the music off, giving you the chance to swipe the Worker Jacket without anyone noticing. You can then slip out through the side door and into the alley.

Get the Worker Helmet

One part of the costume has been obtained, and for the other one, return to the main plaza in Midtown. You may notice since you visited Clementine, that there’s a delivery truck outside the Hat Shop which now has an open door. Unfortunately, the owner won’t let anyone inside until the place has been restocked. If you talk to the nearby delivery robot in the yellow vest, they’ll be mad about their co-worker disappearing.

Find Stuplachee at the Bar

Oskoor mentions that their co-worker Stuplachee has been messing around in the bar. The bar is to the left just around the corner from the hat shop. Heading to the back room, you’ll find the robot in question passed out on a low table, so you’ll need a way to wake him up.

Hop up the step ladder in the corner and onto the high shelving, and go all the way to the end to find a precariously perched tray of bottles just over the dozing robot. Give it a few taps, and it’ll crash down and wake up the robot, who will finally stumble out and get back to work.

As he rejoins his companion, quickly hop into the green and white Neco Corp box at their feet, and soon they’ll carry the box right into the shop.

As soon as the box is placed down, you can pop out (the workers won’t really care as you wander the place), and look along the front display window for a yellow Worker Helmet. Now you can sneak out through a little vent to the left of the display window, and meet back up with Blazer to hand over the goods.

With his new disguise, he’ll be able to infiltrate the Neco Corporation, and suggests you hide in the nearby box that he’ll carry inside.
