As mentioned before, these tasks normally show up during the endgame segment. For instance, "the steel mission" unlocks around Main Mission 35, while "the Skarmory quest" unlocks once finishing the main story.

After players complete the game's credits, they are able to acquire a Steel Cover from a seller inside the Racine Construction location. This is the exact place where players meet Canari for the E Rank battle test, situated adjacent to the train station and below Le Nah restaurant.

After becoming accessible, a shopkeeper at this location will offer a Steel Cover for 4980 in-game currency. Fortunately, this seller maintains endless inventory, so players can buy as many Steel Covers as they need, provided they have enough currency.

Basically, if gamers haven't progressed enough through the game, they cannot manage to acquire a Metal Coat at this time.
