The PS5-M Universal Protection is a protective suit appearing in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Overview[]
This suit is a modernized version of the standard Duty suit, providing good anomaly protection, unlike the PSZ series suits. Its bulletproof vest can stop a pistol round or two. It resembles the Sunrise suit but with Duty's trademark black and red pattern.
This suit is typically issued to Duty recruits and rank-and-file members. Higher ranking Dutyers will usually opt for either a PSZ-9Md Universal Protection suit or a PSZ-9d Duty armor suit.
Despite its physical resemblance to the Shadow of Chernobyl version of the PSZ-9d Duty armor, it provides much lighter armor protection, being comparable in terms of firearms resistance to the standard armor used by other factions, such as the Sunrise suits used by Loners or the standard armor used by Freedom.

Call of Pripyat[]
This modern version of the Duty bodysuit is better suited for stalker recruits who are used to lightweight suits. Unlike the PSZ series, this suit provides good protection against anomalies while also being capable of stopping a pistol bullet. The suit cannot be modified with an artifact container, but may be upgraded with a combat support system instead.
― In-game description
For a combat suit the starting bulletproof protection is surprisingly low, half of that of Berill-5M armoured suit. True to Duty faction's mentality, it has no artifact containers nor can it be upgraded with any. It could be a nice alternative for the Sunrise suit and Berill, but by the time the player arrives in Yanov they will most likely have something better.
Acquisition[]
One is deposited for free in the player's locker in Yanov Station after completing two side missions for Duty, and Hawaiian will also have it on sale afterwards.
One can be found inside the Duty warehouse in Yanov, which can be accessed by completing the Duty warehouse mission for either Duty or Freedom.
