Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl's SEVA-V Armor: A Free Early-Game Acquisition
Stalker 2 offers a range of armor suits to enhance player survival 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 significant PSI protection. This guide details its location and acquisition.
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 featuring a crashed helicopter within an Electro anomaly and a large, rusted crane. Accessing the suit requires some climbing.
Accessing the Crane and the Suit
Upon reaching the Scientist Helicopter POI, you'll see a crashed helicopter (right, within the Electro anomaly) and a ladder leading up the rusted crane (left). Before climbing, use an artifact detector to acquire an Electro-type artifact from the anomaly field – this will prove helpful.
Climb the crane's ladder. At the top, proceed right across the crane to the operator's cabin (left). Carefully jump the gap to 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 can be upgraded by Screw, the technician at Rostok base. It allows for four artifact slots and provides excellent radiation protection along with respectable PSI protection. If you already possess superior armor, selling the SEVA-V suit can yield a substantial amount of in-game currency.
