PSI radiation is a serious threat when exploring the Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. While some suits offer some protection, the SEVA series stands out for its superior PSI resistance. Three distinct SEVA suits are scattered throughout the game's open world, each presenting a unique challenge to acquire. Let's examine each suit and determine which reigns supreme.
Your journey to obtain the SEVA-D suit begins within the Cage, nestled in the Cement Factory region. This suit rests atop a partially constructed building, demanding a perilous climb through a PSI-radiation-infested area. The challenging ascent and hazardous environment make this acquisition far from a walk in the park.
The SEVA-V suit offers a comparatively easier acquisition. Located in the Scientist Helicopter POI within the Rostok region, you'll simply need to climb a crane and retrieve it from the operator's cabin. While easier to obtain, it boasts improved stats over the SEVA-D, including an extra artifact slot.
The SEVA-I suit emerges as the top contender in terms of overall stats, particularly its superior PSI protection. You can find it in two locations: the Duga base or the Yantar Production Complex. At Duga, it's located near the arms depot, requiring a confrontation with a Burer. In Yantar, a climb over rusted pipes and entry through a wall breach will lead you to your prize. For early-game players, Yantar presents a less challenging path to this powerful suit.
