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 stands out for its superior PSI resistance. Three SEVA suit variants are available for free within the game's open world, each presenting unique acquisition challenges. Let's examine each suit and determine the best option.

The SEVA-D Suit

Located atop a building under construction within the Cement Factory's Cage area, the SEVA-D suit requires navigating challenging climbing conditions and a hazardous PSI radiation zone.

The SEVA-V Suit

Found relatively early in the game at the Scientist Helicopter POI in Rostok, the SEVA-V is easier to obtain than the SEVA-D, requiring only a climb onto a crane. It boasts improved stats over its predecessor and an additional artifact slot.

The SEVA-I Suit

The SEVA-I offers the best overall stats, particularly superior PSI protection. It's obtainable from either the Duga base or the Yantar Production Complex. The Duga base location requires a fight against a Burer, while the Yantar location involves navigating rusted pipes and entering a building through a wall breach. Early-game players might find the Yantar location more accessible.
