Overview 
Edit
The Berill-forces is an official suit used by the Ukrainian Military, modified for the Zone. It includes a PSZ-9a military bulletproof vest with beryllium coating and a Sphere-08 helmet. It features a European woodland camouflage pattern. The helmet has a special copper wire mesh installed to protect the wearer from background psionic emanations of the Zone.
The Berill-5M suit is exclusively used by the Spetsnaz.
Appearances Edit
Shadow of Chernobyl Edit
In Shadow of Chernobyl, the Berill is a particularly durable suit and very resistant to firearm damage. Its only drawbacks are its below-average anomaly protection and weight. It is equipped with first-generation night vision.
Acquiring the armour Edit
- Located in X-16 emitter room
- Reward for Find the Night Star artifact quest
- Bought from Barkeep
- Trailer in the Red Forest
Unique variants Edit
Clear Sky Edit
The Berill-5M is designed for combat; It is twice as resilient to firearms as to Tier 2 armors and can be modified to have a maximum of 60% protection against firearms though if modified for anomailes: It won't go above 35% and it will lack NVGs. Overall it's better to use it if you're combat oriented and compensate for the lacking anomaly protection with artifacts.
Upgrades Edit
It can be upgraded with NVGs and have superior firearm protection or superior anomaly protection. Can have a maximum of 3 artifact containers.
Availability Edit
The Berill-5M commonly costs around 18,800 rubles, making it economical and hardy compared to other high level armors. It is bought and regularly available from most traders.
Variations Edit
Freedom made use of the Berill's design and used it in their Guardian of Freedom Suits which is better built for anomalies although instead of the Euro woodland camo pattern, it uses a pattern similar to the German Flecktarn camouflage.
Call of Pripyat Edit
The Berill-5M is the combat alternative to the Stalker Suit and can be bought from the start of the game from Owl. It is hovewer quite expensive at 20000RU and has no artifact slots by default, so it's a rather poor choice unless the player feels like shooting everything that moves(and even so, it's better to save up 40000RU and get the CS-3a battle armour from Nimble instead).
Upgrades Edit
Being a low-end suit Berill-5M has only three upgrade paths. Oddly for a combat armor, the only bulletproof upgrade is Tier 3; other upgrades are anomaly and utility(health, bleed, etc.) as well as weight reduction and carry upgrade. As a final nail in the coffin, the Tier 3 upgrade which is supposed to add two artifact slots is bugged and doesn't work in 1.6.02.
Variations Edit
The Freedom variant of the Berill-5M, the Guardian of Freedom suit - which outperforms the standard Berill, especially in durability and artifact containers - can be acquired from Hawaiian or for free after getting the Friend of Freedom achievement.
TriviaEdit
- For unknown reasons, every Spetsnaz soldier who wears this suit also wears a supposedly Western type Sphere-08 tactical helmet in all three games.
- Word "Berill" derives from Beryllium. It is a chemical element, an Alkaline earth metal. Mostly used to create ultra light and durable alloys (inter metallic compounds) of great thermal properties, mainly for special application such as high velocity missiles, space crafts etc. Such alloy would probably be excellent addition if used as an armor component, hence armor name.
Behind the scenes Edit
Build 1154Edit
In the first builds (most notably Build 1154, the first functional gameplay build), the armour uses the design for Jeffry, apparently a space marine of sorts. While the texture and model was used as a placeholder, the overall design of the marine was later reused in the final armour.
Shadow of Chernobyl 'beta' design Edit
The beta model of the Berill suit is slightly different from the model used in the final version of 'Shadow of Chernobyl' game. The original beta design made use of an olive drab woodland camouflage pattern on the boots, helmet and overall gear similar to the ones used by regular military grunts and also incorporated a camouflaged back-pack while the current one does not make use of one.
