Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl's Best SEVA Suits: A Comprehensive Guide

PSI radiation is a significant threat in Stalker 2. While some suits offer protection, the SEVA series excels at mitigating its effects. Three SEVA suits are available for free in the game's open world, each presenting unique acquisition challenges. Let's examine each suit and determine which reigns supreme.

SEVA-D Suit

Located atop a building under construction within the Cement Factory's Cage area, acquiring the SEVA-D suit demands skillful traversal of hazardous climbing conditions and a PSI-radiation-infested zone.

SEVA-V Suit

Found relatively early in the game at the Scientist Helicopter POI in the Rostok region, the SEVA-V is easier to obtain than the SEVA-D, requiring only a climb onto a crane. It boasts improved stats over its predecessor and an additional artifact slot.

SEVA-I Suit

The SEVA-I suit offers the best overall stats, particularly superior PSI protection. It's located in either the Duga base (near the arms depot, requiring a Burer encounter) or the Yantar Production Complex (accessible via a climb and a hole in a wall). Early-game players are advised to acquire it from Yantar due to the increased difficulty of accessing Duga base.
