In *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*, armor suits are among the priciest equipment you can purchase from in-game vendors. Not only do they come with a high initial cost, but upgrading them also requires a significant number of coupons, which can quickly drain your resources. However, there's a cost-effective alternative: the SEVA-D suit, which you can obtain for free within the game's open world. This robust piece of equipment offers numerous buffs, including PSI protection. Here's how to get your hands on it.
How to Get the SEVA-D Suit of Armor in Stalker 2
The SEVA-D suit of armor can be found atop a building in the Cage area of the Cement Factory region in *Stalker 2*. This location is situated north of the Cement Factory base and east of the Slag Heap base. To acquire the suit, players must navigate to an under-construction building in this area and climb to its roof.
Reaching the top can be challenging due to the thin concrete beams and the presence of a PSI anomalous field that causes continuous damage. It's advisable to carry ample medkits and make frequent quick saves, especially after ascending each floor, to avoid having to restart the climb from the beginning if you fall.
Reaching the Top of the Cage Building
Follow these steps to reach the top of the building in the Cage and secure the SEVA-D armor in *Stalker 2*:
- Begin by climbing the initial set of concrete stairs to reach the first floor.
- Proceed along the path to the right and carefully traverse the narrow concrete beam to the opposite side. Aim to reach the stairs that lead to the second floor.
- Upon reaching the second floor, jump across the gap and follow the narrow path on the right.
- Continue walking across the beam and leap over another gap to reach a rusted metal platform.
- Use the ladders to ascend the platform. At the top, utilize a stack of boxes to access a narrow path.
- Navigate the narrow concrete path and cautiously walk along the connecting beam to the right until you reach the middle.
- Spot another concrete beam with a pole on its right side. Traverse this beam and jump onto the platform to your right. From here, use the stairs to climb to the third floor.
- From the third floor, simply jump across the gap to the other side, crouch under the concrete beam, and use the stairs to reach the roof.
Grabbing the SEVA-D Suit & Its Stats
The SEVA-D suit is located in a blue stash at the edge of the Cage's roof. Be sure to also collect the limited edition energy drink and the PDA under the table, which contains valuable resources.
The SEVA-D suit comes with a 70% durability condition but can be fully restored by any technician for a few coupons. It boasts impressive PSI protection, high radiation resistance, and substantial physical protection, making it a valuable asset during gunfights in *Stalker 2*. To safely exit the Cage's roof, jump through the central hole to land on a gravitational anomaly below.
