Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl's SEVA-V Armor: A Free, Early-Game Acquisition
Stalker 2 offers a variety of armor suits to enhance player survival within The Zone's hazardous environment. The SEVA-V suit, a highly valuable member of the SEVA series, stands out as a free, early-game acquisition. Its significant PSI protection makes it a coveted find. This guide details how to obtain it.
Locating the SEVA-V Suit
The SEVA-V suit is located at the Scientist Helicopter point of interest (POI) in Stalker 2's Rostok region. This POI is situated southwest of the Rostok base, in a large field marked by a crashed helicopter within an Electro anomaly and a large, rusted crane. Reaching the suit requires some climbing.
Accessing the POI and Ascending the Crane
Upon entering the Scientist Helicopter POI, you'll see the crashed helicopter (within the Electro anomaly) to the right and a ladder leading up the rusted crane to the left. Before climbing, use an artifact detector to locate and acquire an Electro-type artifact from the anomalous field near the helicopter. This will aid in navigating the area.
Climb the crane using the ladder. Once at the top, move right across the crane structure to the operator's cabin on the left.
Retrieving the SEVA-V Suit and its Properties
Inside the operator's cabin, you'll find a bag containing valuable supplies and the SEVA-V armor. Carefully navigate back down the crane.
The SEVA-V suit can be upgraded by Screw, the technician at the Rostok base. It allows for up to four artifact slots and provides excellent radiation protection along with substantial PSI protection. If you already possess superior armor, selling the SEVA-V suit can yield a considerable amount of in-game currency.
