Voss’s Compensator is inside the first Emergency Relief Crate in the Annex/Registry area, but you must pick up the E.R.C. Activator Pen and return to unlock it.
You reach the Annex after progressing roughly 30 minutes into the story. The route begins at the locked crate, climbs through the building for the required activator, and loops back through a shortcut.
Voss’s Compensator location and requirement
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Upgrade | Voss’s Compensator |
| Crate | Emergency Relief Crate #1 |
| Required activator | E.R.C. Activator Pen |

Remember the first-floor crate room as your return point. Once you collect the activator, open the crate before leaving this chapter because completed chapter areas cannot be revisited.
Use Emergency Relief Crate #1 as your landmark rather than relying on room names. The crate is in the Registry, and its activator is the E.R.C. Activator Pen.

What Voss’s Compensator changes
Voss’s Compensator is a muzzle attachment for your pistol or handgun. Once collected, it becomes a weapon part that you can equip through the inventory.
No exact recoil, spread, accuracy, or damage modifiers are available for this attachment. Avoid planning around a specific percentage or numerical bonus.
Mistakes to avoid with Voss’s Compensator
Picking up the E.R.C. Activator Pen does not open the earlier crate automatically. Use the stash-room route and shortcut to return, interact with the E.R.C. panel, and claim the attachment before continuing the chapter.
Do not pass the handgun ammunition before the first slither or the later ammo beside the handwheels. Several enemies stand between the activator and the reward, and skipping those supplies can make the return fight harder.
Finally, do not advance beyond the chapter area while the crate remains locked. Once the chapter closes and its locations become inaccessible, Voss’s Compensator is missable for that playthrough.
