Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl boasts a range of armor suits enhancing player survival within The Zone's hazardous environment. The SEVA-V suit, a top-tier member of the SEVA series, stands out as a valuable, free acquisition early in the game. Its superior PSI protection makes it a highly sought-after item. This guide details how to obtain it.
Acquiring the SEVA-V Armor in Stalker 2
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 amidst an Electro anomaly and a massive, rusted crane. Reaching the suit requires some climbing.
Accessing the Scientist Helicopter POI & Climbing the Crane
Upon entering the Scientist Helicopter POI, you'll see a crashed helicopter within an Electro anomaly (to the right) and a ladder leading up the rusted crane (to the left). Before ascending the crane, utilize 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, traverse the crane to the left, reaching the operator's cabin.
Retrieving the SEVA-V Suit & Its Specifications
Carefully jump across the gap to the operator's cabin. Inside, you'll find a bag containing valuable supplies and the SEVA-V armor. Retrace your steps to descend the crane.
The SEVA-V suit can be upgraded by Screw, the technician at the Rostok base. It supports four artifact slots and provides excellent radiation protection with considerable PSI resistance. If you possess superior armor, selling the SEVA-V suit can yield a substantial amount of in-game currency.
