Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl boasts a range of armor suits enhancing player survivability 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 offering superior PSI protection. Here's 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 southwest of the Rostok base, marked by a large field containing a crashed helicopter within an Electro anomaly and a prominent rusted crane. The suit itself rests atop the crane.
Accessing the Suit: Climbing the Crane
Upon reaching the Scientist Helicopter POI, you'll observe the crashed helicopter (within the Electro anomaly) to your right and a ladder ascending the rusted crane to your left. Before tackling the crane, utilize an artifact detector to secure an Electro-type artifact from the anomaly field – this will prove helpful.
Ascend the crane via the ladder. Once at the top, proceed right across the crane structure to the operator's cabin on the left.
Retrieving the SEVA-V Suit and its Attributes
Carefully navigate the gap to the operator's cabin. Inside, you'll find a bag containing valuable consumables and the SEVA-V armor. Retrace your steps to descend the crane.
The SEVA-V suit is upgradeable by Screw, the technician at Rostok base. It supports four artifact slots and provides excellent radiation protection along with considerable PSI protection. If you possess superior armor, selling the SEVA-V suit can yield a substantial amount of in-game currency.
