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. The suit itself rests atop the crane.
Accessing the Suit: Climbing the Crane
Upon reaching the Scientist Helicopter POI, you'll observe a crashed helicopter (right, within the Electro anomaly) and a ladder leading up the rusted crane (left). Before ascending, use an artifact detector to acquire an Electro-type artifact from the anomalous field near the helicopter – this will aid in navigating the area.
Climb the crane's ladder. Once at the top, proceed right across the crane to the operator's cabin (left). Carefully jump the gap to enter the cabin.
Retrieving the SEVA-V Armor and its Properties
Inside the operator's cabin, you'll find a bag containing valuable consumables 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 up to four artifact slots and provides excellent radiation protection along with substantial PSI protection. If you already possess superior armor, selling the SEVA-V suit can yield a considerable amount of in-game currency.
