Where to obtain all Contraptions? Wolfenstein II Guide

Contraptions are special abilities that influence the way in which your hero can move. They allow you to reach previously inaccessible places, usually with secrets and collectibles. Also, they can give you a lot of options while planning an attack or during fights. After unlocking them they become necessary to complete the new missions - luckily for you the levels are designed in a such way that they can be completed with any of the contraptions.

You get the first contraption automatically after making enough progress in the campaign.

The game features three contraptions:

1. Ram Shackles - the hero can break through walls and barriers but also can knock enemies down. It activates automatically after you start sprinting - however, you can't hold a heavy weapon in your hands while you do that.
2. Constrictor Harness - the hero can shrink down and squeeze through small cracks, narrow vent crates and even pipes. To activate this ability, you have to crouch and get closer to an obstacle that you want to get through. However, you must be careful because the hero can't breathe while he is compressed - this works the same as when you are under water.
3. Battle Walker - the hero can stand on "retractable legs" which allow you to reach higher places or simply get a height advantage over your enemies. The ability is activated by pressing the jump button twice.

The first contraption is obtained automatically by making progress in the campaign - the choice is made in the beginning of "A New Suit" chapter. Save the game before you choose it - if a selected contraption isn't to your liking then you can simply load the game and select a different one.

Speak with the right person to get a mission during which you can find other contraptions.

The remaining two contraptions can be acquired after unlocking the screen connected to Enigma Codes (the end of chapter 7 in New Orleans). You get access to the mechanism. After that you can find new characters on Eva's Hammer - speak with them and receive side missions. These quests will allow you to get other contraptions. Those characters are marked with a magnifying glass icon on the map. After that you must simply start the right Überkommandant mission. The contraptions can be found in the following places:

1. Ram Shackles - can be found during New Orleans Bienville: Street District mission.
2. Constrictor Harness - can be found during Manhattan: Bunker District mission.
3. Battle Walker - the last contraption can be found during New Orleans Bienville: Street District (Ram Shackles are also in that location).
