PSI radiation is a significant threat in Stalker 2. While several suits offer some protection, the SEVA series excels at mitigating its harmful effects. This guide details the three freely obtainable SEVA suits, comparing their stats to help you choose the best option for your playthrough.
SEVA-D Suit
This initial SEVA variant is located atop an unfinished building within the Cement Factory's Cage area. Reaching it requires navigating challenging climbing conditions and a hazardous PSI-radiation anomaly zone.

SEVA-I Suit
The SEVA-I offers superior stats, particularly enhanced PSI protection, making it the best overall SEVA suit. It's obtainable from either the Duga base or the Yantar Production Complex.

Early-game players might find the Yantar route less challenging.
