Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl boasts a range of armor suits enhancing player survival. The SEVA-V suit, a valuable free acquisition from the SEVA series, offers significant PSI protection and is obtainable early in the game. Here's how to obtain it:

Locating the SEVA-V Suit

The SEVA-V suit is found 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 is atop the crane.

Accessing the Suit

1. Enter the POI: Upon entering the Scientist Helicopter location, you'll see the crashed helicopter (right, within the Electro anomaly) and a ladder leading up the crane (left). Before climbing, use an artifact detector to acquire an Electro-type artifact from the anomalous field – this will be helpful.

2. Ascend the Crane: Climb the ladder on the left.

3. Reach the Cabin: At the crane's top, proceed right and across to the operator's cabin on the left.

4. Retrieve the Suit: Carefully jump the gap to the cabin. Inside, you'll find a bag containing the SEVA-V suit and valuable supplies. Retrace your steps to descend.

SEVA-V Suit Stats and Usage

The SEVA-V suit, upgradable by Rostok base technician Screw, accommodates four artifacts. It provides excellent radiation protection and decent PSI protection. If not immediately needed, its high resale value makes it a lucrative item.
