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

Stalker 2 offers a variety of armor suits to enhance player survival within The Zone's hazardous environment. The SEVA-V suit, a valuable member of the SEVA series, stands out as a free, early-game acquisition providing excellent PSI protection. This guide details its location and acquisition.

Locating the SEVA-V Suit

The SEVA-V armor is located at the Scientist Helicopter Point of Interest (POI) in Stalker 2's Rostok region. This POI is southwest of the Rostok base, marked by a crashed helicopter within an Electro anomaly field and a large, rusty crane. The suit itself is atop the crane.

Accessing the Suit: Climbing the Crane

Upon reaching the Scientist Helicopter POI, you'll see the crashed helicopter and a ladder leading up the crane. Before ascending, use an artifact detector to locate and retrieve 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, traverse the crane to the operator's cabin on the 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 supplies and the SEVA-V armor. Retrace your steps to descend the crane.

The SEVA-V suit, upgradable by Rostok base technician Screw, boasts four artifact slots and significant radiation and PSI protection. If you possess superior armor, selling the SEVA-V suit can yield substantial in-game currency.
