Stalker 2: How To Get SEVA-V Suit Armor

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl's SEVA-V Armor: A Free Early-Game Powerhouse
Stalker 2 offers a range of armor suits to enhance survivability within The Zone's hazardous environment. The SEVA-V suit, a valuable member of the SEVA series, stands out for its accessibility – it's free and obtainable early in the game. Its significant PSI protection makes it a highly sought-after item. Here's how to acquire 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 southwest of the Rostok base, in a large field featuring a crashed helicopter amidst an Electro anomaly and a large, rusted crane. The suit itself is perched atop the crane.
Accessing the Crane and the Suit
Upon arriving at the Scientist Helicopter POI, you'll see the crashed helicopter within an Electro anomaly (to the right) and a ladder leading up the rusted crane (to the left). Before ascending, utilize an artifact detector to retrieve an Electro-type artifact from the anomalous field – this will prove beneficial.
Climb the crane's ladder. Once at the top, proceed right along the crane's structure until you reach the operator's cabin on the left. Carefully jump the gap and enter the cabin. Inside, you'll find a bag containing valuable supplies and the coveted SEVA-V armor. Retrace your steps to descend the crane.
SEVA-V Suit Stats and Usage
The SEVA-V suit can be upgraded by Screw, the technician at the Rostok base. It boasts high radiation protection and decent 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.
