Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl's SEVA-V Armor: A Free Early-Game Powerhouse
Stalker 2 offers a variety of armor suits to bolster survival in The Zone's hazardous environment. The SEVA-V suit, a top-tier member of the SEVA series, stands out as a valuable, free acquisition available early in the game. Its excellent PSI protection makes it a highly sought-after item. Here's how to obtain it:
Locating the SEVA-V Suit
The SEVA-V suit is found at the Scientist Helicopter Point of Interest (POI) in Stalker 2's Rostok region. This location is southwest of the Rostok base, marked by a large field containing a crashed helicopter within an Electro anomaly and a massive, 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 (within the Electro anomaly) to your right and a ladder leading up the rusted crane to your left. Before climbing, use your artifact detector to acquire an Electro-type artifact from the anomalous field near the helicopter – this will be useful later.
Climb the crane's ladder. Once at the top, move right across the crane to the operator's cabin on the left. Carefully jump the gap and enter the cabin. Inside, you'll find a bag containing valuable supplies and the SEVA-V armor. Retrace your steps to descend.
SEVA-V Suit Stats and Usage
The SEVA-V suit, upgradeable by the Rostok base technician, Screw, boasts high radiation protection and respectable PSI protection. It allows for four artifact slots. If you already possess superior armor, selling the SEVA-V suit can yield a substantial amount of in-game currency.
