The PSZ-5V Guardian of Freedom Suit can be found in the Garbage area of the map, near the Brood's base east of the Slag's Heap settlement. To reach the rooftop where the Forgotten Stash and this particular piece of equipment are, you will need to go to the Bruise Trader in the Brood's compound.

Once you are at the location, go behind the Bruise Trader's bunker, climb up, and jump to the set of pipes running next to the place. Slowly move up the pipes and at the very end, you will find a small building's rooftop. Jump on to the rooftop and you will find both the PSZ-5V Guardian of Freedom Suit in Stalker 2 and the Forgotten Stash.

That being said, be careful, as this area will be full of enemies who will shoot at you if you get detected while sneaking in.

The Guard of Freedom suit is easily one of the best set of armors in Stalker 2 that is useful early on in the game when you don't have the coupons to buy powerful gear. It has a good overall protection stat, and its heavy 7 KG weight can be reduced by upgrading it.

The Guardian of Freedom suit in Stalker 2 also has several artifact slots that you can unlock and will even work beyond the early game section.
