In *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*, armor suits stand out as some of the priciest items you can purchase from vendors. Not only do they come with a steep initial cost, but upgrading them with coupons can quickly drain your resources. Fortunately, there's a way to bypass these costs by acquiring the SEVA-D suit for free in the open world. This robust piece of equipment offers numerous benefits, including PSI protection. Here’s how you can claim it for yourself.
How to Get the SEVA-D Suit of Armor in Stalker 2
The SEVA-D suit is located on top of a building in the Cage area within the Cement Factory region. To find it, head north of the Cement Factory base and east of the Slag Heap base. You'll see an under-construction building that you need to climb to reach your prize.
Climbing to the top can be challenging due to the thin concrete beams and the presence of a PSI anomalous field, which causes ongoing damage. It's wise to carry plenty of medkits and save your game frequently as you ascend to avoid a frustrating restart if you fall.
Reaching the Top of the Cage Building
Follow these steps to navigate to the top of the Cage building and secure the SEVA-D armor:
- Begin by ascending the initial set of concrete stairs to the first floor.
- Proceed right along the path and carefully traverse the narrow concrete beam to the opposite side, where you'll find stairs leading to the second floor.
- On the second floor, leap across a gap and continue along the narrow path to your right.
- Walk along the beam and jump another gap to reach a rusted metal platform.
- Climb up the platform using the available ladders. Utilize the stack of boxes at the top to access a narrow path.
- Navigate the narrow concrete path and cautiously walk across the connecting beam to your right until you reach the middle.
- Spot another concrete beam with a pole on its right side. Cross this beam and jump onto the platform on the right. From here, use the stairs to ascend to the third floor.
- From the third floor, jump across the gap to the other side, crouch under a concrete beam, and use the stairs to reach the roof.
Grabbing the SEVA-D Suit & Its Stats
At the edge of the Cage's roof, you'll find the SEVA-D suit in a blue stash. Don’t forget to also pick up the limited edition energy drink and a PDA under the table, which contains valuable resources.
The SEVA-D suit you find will be at 70% durability but can be repaired by any technician for a few coupons. This suit boasts impressive PSI protection and high radiation resistance, making it invaluable in hazardous environments. Its high physical protection is also a significant advantage during gunfights. To exit the Cage's roof, simply jump through the hole in the center to land safely on a gravitational anomaly below.
