- Reward for Find the Night Star artifact quest
- Bought from Barkeep
- Trailer in the Red Forest
Unique variants
Clear Sky
The Berill-5M is designed for combat; It is twice as resilient to firearms as the SEVA Suit without upgrades and is considerably more durable. Anomaly protection is lacking.
Upgrades
It can be upgraded with NVGs and have superior firearm protection or superior anomaly protection.
Availability
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
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 the German Flecktarn camouflage pattern.
Call of Pripyat
The Berill-5M is likely the first alternative to the Stalker Suit that the player will come across in their journey, and can be purchased from Owl near the start of the game. However, it's statistics and durability are average at best even compared to other early-game suits, and the lack of any artifact containers until a Calibration Kit is found is a major downside. The CHN-3a Battle Armour can be acquired for a slightly larger amount and outperforms it in every regard. Along with the fact that a PSZ-9d Duty Suit or Wind of Freedom suit can be acquired shortly after the player's arrival in Yanov and the Berill's pricey 20k tag is much less attractive.
Upgrades
The Berill-5M is essentially a poor man's PSZ-9d Duty Armor, in that it eschews the use of any artifacts whatsoever in favor of technology-based upgrades which achieve similar ends. Unlike the PSZ-9d it can take an artifact after a Calibration kit is acquired, but it's performance in nearly every area is matched or surpassed by any of the mid and high tier armors available in Yanov or from Nimble.
Variations
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 for assisting Freedom in Yanov.
Trivia
- For unknown reasons, every Spetsnaz soldier who wears this suit also wears a Western-made Tactical Helmet in all three games.
Background
Development
Shadow of Chernobyl 'beta' design
The Beta model of the Berill suit in Shadow of Chernobyl.
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.
