The mercenary suit is a Western-made protective suit. It is only obtainable to the player in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, but it also appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

OverviewEdit

The mercenary suit consists of a navy blue jumpsuit (although some mercenaries might opt for an urban camouflage pattern), an European-pattern tactical vest (also used with woodland camouflage) and a gas mask (based on the XM40 model). It also comes with the standard belt-mounted pistol holster and carrying pouch.

When not wearing a gas mask, users of the merc suit will typically wear a balaclava or a similiar type of mask.

AppearancesEdit

Shadow of ChernobylEdit

The Merc Suit offers slightly worse properties than the Stalker Suit, however, while both suits have the same weight, it does not sport a night vision module. While the Merc Suit isn't built for the zone due to its lacking stats, it is nevertheless an invaluable starter armor as it will protect the player from most rounds that one will encounter early in the game. Though it's highly recommended that this suit be replaced later on in the game.

AcquisitionEdit

The player can first find this in the Rookie Camp as mentioned in the Leather Jacket article, or alternatively, the first time the player will encounter this suit, is finding it laying in a corner in the first cabin on your left in Agroprom, near Mole's location. It's also possible to find a custom one in a stash in the Wild Territory, but the chances of getting the coordinates are very low. One also can be found in the Grizzly's things stash in the Garbage. Sometimes Sidorovich sells this suit.

Variants Edit

Bandits and Renegades have their own variant, which is used with a brown BDU opposed to a blue one, and they don't wear gas masks.
