Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl's SEVA-V Armor: A Free Early-Game Powerhouse

Stalker 2 offers a variety of armor suits to enhance survivability in The Zone's hazardous environment. The SEVA-V suit, a valuable member of the SEVA series, stands out as a free, early-game acquisition offering significant PSI protection. This guide details how to obtain this crucial piece of equipment.

Locating the SEVA-V Suit

The SEVA-V suit is located within the Scientist Helicopter Point of Interest (POI) in Stalker 2's Rostok region. This POI is situated southwest of the Rostok base, characterized by a large field containing a crashed helicopter within an Electro anomaly and a prominent rusted crane. Accessing 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 ascending, use your 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 is upgradeable at Rostok base by the technician Screw. It boasts high radiation protection and respectable PSI protection, with four artifact slots available. If you already possess superior armor, selling the SEVA-V suit can yield a substantial amount of in-game currency.
