The Tech Gloves are a Rare pair of Gloves in Crimson Desert. On the surface they look like an ordinary piece of self-defense equipment, but a complex clockwork mechanism is hidden beneath the metal plates. Small mechanical arms can spring from gaps in the armor and skillfully manipulate the pins of any lock, letting the wearer open doors without a key.
What makes the Tech Gloves especially prized is the All-Purpose Arm ability they carry. Many players consider these gloves "broken" because of how powerful this ability is in practice, granting on-demand access to locked doors throughout the world. The gloves are hidden inside the Aeronautical Research Base, a secret location accessible through Marni's Laboratorium on the east side of Delissia.

The Tech Gloves come with the All-Purpose Arm ability. When activated, it allows the player to open and lock any door at will. This works on all door types in the game, including locked entrances that would otherwise require specific keys or quest progression to bypass.
The ability operates on a 10-minute cooldown after each use. Because of how broadly it works, many players refer to the Tech Gloves as "broken" gear. The ability to freely pass through locked doors opens up exploration shortcuts, alternate routes during quests, and access to areas that are normally gated behind other requirements.
The Tech Gloves are found at the Aeronautical Research Base, which is reached through a hidden path inside Marni's Laboratorium. The laboratorium is located on the east side of Delissia. Follow these steps to reach the gloves:
Travel to the east side of Delissia and locate Marni's Laboratorium.
At the laboratorium, look for a point where you can jump up to a higher level.
From the top, drop down on the other side. There is a small door leading inside.
Sprint through the hallway. On the left side you will find a teleporter.
Before stepping into the teleporter, make sure you have the Vision Stone equipped. The Vision Stone is a key item that must be in your inventory and active for the teleporter to function. Without it, the teleporter will not activate.
Once the Vision Stone is equipped, interact with the teleporter. It sends you through a "light-speed tunnel" and drops you at the Aeronautical Research Base.
You land on top of a flying wagon high in the sky.
Below the wagon is a flying pterodactyl ship. It may not appear immediately. If it is not there, try teleporting around or waiting until the ship shows up below you.
Jump down and land on the pterodactyl ship. Be careful: enemies with guns are stationed on the ship and will shoot at you. It is easy to get knocked off the edge and fall.
Recommended: Create a save file before attempting the jump. Falling off means you have to repeat the teleporter sequence.
Once on the ship, attack the pterodactyl with your spear or sword. You need to destroy it by striking it until you "saw it in half."
After the pterodactyl is destroyed, a hatch opens up. Go inside.
Inside the hatch, destroy the last bubble (a destructible object). The Tech Gloves are yours.
Save before jumping. The jump from the flying wagon to the pterodactyl ship is dangerous. Enemies shoot at you and one misstep sends you falling. Having a save file ready saves a lot of time.
Equip the Vision Stone first. Forgetting to equip it before using the teleporter is a common mistake. Make sure it is active in your key items before you step in.
Watch the cooldown. The All-Purpose Arm has a 10-minute cooldown, so plan your door openings ahead of time rather than using it impulsively.
Pair with stealth builds. The ability to open any locked door makes the Tech Gloves an excellent choice for players who favor infiltration and exploration over direct combat.
Worth the trip. Despite the difficulty of reaching the Aeronautical Research Base, the Tech Gloves are widely regarded as one of the strongest utility items in the game.
