Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl's Best SEVA Suits: A Comprehensive Guide
PSI radiation is a significant threat in Stalker 2. While several suits offer some protection, the SEVA series excels at mitigating its harmful effects. This guide details the three free SEVA suits, their locations, and a comparison to help you choose the best one for your needs.
SEVA-D Suit
Located atop a building under construction within the Cement Factory's Cage area, acquiring the SEVA-D suit presents a challenge. Reaching the suit requires navigating difficult climbing conditions and a hazardous PSI radiation anomaly zone.
SEVA-D Suit Stats:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Weight | 8 kg |
| Artifact Slots | 3 |
| Thermal | 1.1 |
| Electrical | 1.45 |
| Chemical | 1.4 |
| Radiation | 2.5 |
| PSI Protection | 1.55 |
| Physical | 2.5 |
| Value | 46,000 Coupons |
SEVA-V Suit
Found at the Scientist Helicopter POI in Rostok, the SEVA-V suit is significantly easier to obtain than the SEVA-D. Simply climb a crane and access the operator's cabin. It boasts improved stats over the SEVA-D, including an additional artifact slot.
SEVA-V Suit Stats:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Weight | 8 kg |
| Artifact Slots | 4 |
| Thermal | 1.1 |
| Electrical | 1.3 |
| Chemical | 1.5 |

| PSI Protection | 1.1 |
| Physical | 2.1 |
| Value | 53,000 Coupons |
SEVA-I Suit
The SEVA-I suit offers superior stats and the highest PSI protection among the three. It can be found in two locations: the Duga base (near the arms depot, requiring a fight with a Burer) or the Yantar Production Complex (accessed via a hole in a wall after traversing rusted pipes). Early-game players are advised to acquire it from Yantar due to the increased difficulty of accessing the Duga base.
SEVA-I Suit Stats:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Weight | 8 kg |
| Artifact Slots | 4 |
| Thermal | 1.3 |
| Electrical | 1.5 |
| Chemical | 1.5 |
| Radiation | 3 |
| PSI Protection | 2.1 |
| Physical | 2.5 |
| Value | 50,000 Coupons |
Conclusion:
While all three SEVA suits offer valuable PSI protection, the SEVA-I provides the best overall stats and superior PSI defense, making it the optimal choice, especially considering the relative ease of obtaining it from Yantar early in the game. The choice ultimately depends on your gameplay progression and preferred risk/reward balance.
