The PSZ-9d Duty Armor is an early model of the SKAT-9M Military Armored Suit used by Duty. It is featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Description

This early model of the Duty bodysuit is a Spetsnaz PSZ-9 body armor modified for the Zone and a Sphere-12M helmet. The suit is capable of stopping a rifle bullet, however, this level of protection comes at the cost of its weight, bulkiness and virtually non-existent anomaly protection. The suit cannot be modified with an artifact container, but may be upgraded with a combat support system.

Appearances

Clear Sky

This suit can only be purchased from Mitay after joining Duty, however one is given to the player free of charge by joining Duty and finishing their campaign against Freedom. This suit is essentially the same as the "Bulat" armored suit; the main differences are anomaly and radiation protection (3 points less than the Bulat) and scratch/bite protection (5 points higher than the Bulat). The differences are negligible, both suits are some of the best in the game, however they are somehow severely limited by their double artifact container limit.

Call of Pripyat

Just like in Clear Sky, it is a high-end armor comparable with the Bulat armored suit, with slightly better Impact protection but worse anomaly protection(on par with the PS5-M Universal Protection). Unlike Clear Sky, it has no artifact slots and can't be upgraded with any.

Upgrades

The four upgrade paths have one of the most extreme protection schemes in the game; no less than three Armor upgrades, two out of which are Tier 3, will make it even better than Exoskeleton in bulletproof resistance. The suit's second best default Impact protection in the game can be upgraded further, and the utility upgrades will result in outstanding +9 health restoration, +11 wound healing and +8 stamina recovery. Finally, the weight can be reduced and carry weight improved for a net gain of 1kg.

Acquisition

This suit can only be purchased from Hawaiian by siding with Duty. In order for him to stock this suit, the player must do all of the following;

• Give Duty the PDA of Morgan.
• Give General Tachenko's PDA to Duty.
• Turn Flint in to Duty.
• Send Duty recruiters to Strider and his team.

Trivia

• Since Clear Sky, the developers retconned the PSZ-9d Duty Suit as this armour, while the original model was renamed to PS5-M "Universal Protection". Alternatively, there exist two models of the PSZ-9d - the stalker suit and the ex-military armor.
