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 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. Its significant PSI protection makes it particularly useful in the game's initial stages. 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 situated southwest of the Rostok base, in a large field containing a crashed helicopter within an Electro anomaly and a large, rusted crane. Reaching the suit requires some climbing.
Accessing the Crane and the Suit
Upon entering the Scientist Helicopter POI, you'll see the crashed helicopter to the right (within the Electro anomaly) and a ladder leading up the rusted crane to the left. Before ascending the crane, use an artifact detector to acquire an Electro-type artifact from the anomalous field near the helicopter – this will be helpful later.
Climb the crane's ladder. Once at the top, proceed right along the crane's structure to the operator's cabin on the left. Carefully jump the gap to the cabin. Inside, you'll find a bag containing valuable supplies and the SEVA-V armor. Retrace your steps to descend the crane.
SEVA-V Suit Stats and Usage
The SEVA-V suit can be upgraded by Screw, the technician at the Rostok base. It allows for four artifact slots and provides excellent radiation protection alongside decent PSI protection. If you already possess superior armor, selling the SEVA-V suit can yield a substantial amount of in-game currency.
