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 providing excellent PSI protection. This guide details how to obtain it.
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 marked by a crashed helicopter within an Electro anomaly and a large, rusty crane. Reaching the suit requires some climbing.
Accessing the POI and Crane Ascent
Upon entering the Scientist Helicopter POI, you'll see the crashed chopper (within the Electro anomaly) to your right and a ladder leading up the rusty crane to your left. Before climbing, use an artifact detector to acquire an Electro-type artifact from the anomalous field near the helicopter – this will be helpful.
Climb the crane's ladder. Once at the top, proceed right across the crane to the operator's cabin on the left.
Retrieving the SEVA-V Suit and 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 Rostok base. It allows for four artifact slots and offers superior radiation protection alongside respectable PSI protection. If you possess superior armor, selling the SEVA-V suit can yield a substantial amount of in-game currency.
