Should I replace the Stalker suit for the Berill 5?

Barkeep currently has one for sale, I have compared the stats for both suits but I am still not sure...

What danger in the zone do you feel most confident at dealing with? I'd buy a suit that's poor at protecting against that, and good at protecting against everything else.

If you feel confident you can win gunfights with your skill, buy a suit that protects against anomalies. If you feel confident evading anomalies and sneaking through anomaly fields, buy a combat suit. If you feel equally confident or unconfident in everything, buy a general purpose suit like a sunrise (stalker) suit or a SEVA.

Get the bright green suit at yantar, or the free seva on your way there. Get four or more Batteries & hang out in an Electro, your suit & health will recharge.

Nah, stalker suit always served me well. You can also avoid a lot of damage in this game by simply playing smart and not rushing it.

I think he is talking about the special Healing Berill, which has a great resistance to bullets and gives a small HP regen, and is obtainable at the Yantar plant on a dead military soldier near a group of Zombified sitting around a fire, its good but it is a quest item, and regarding the Battery part, if i recall theres this ancient (bug?) that lets you actually heal from taking damage but i thought that only applied to stacking 4-5 mama beads with bullets, effectively making you invincible in a shootout.

Four of the same 30% artifacts (over 100%) will repair if you go in the anomaly they came from. Batteries are quickest to find.
There are very few mama beads in the vanilla game & limited belt slots, but with some mods you can get health from getting shot. :p

I would recommend against it. I did exactly that and I was sorely disappointed with the Berill M5. It's only advantage is night vision. it's bullet resistant properties seem to deteroriate much too quickly.

Ironically, I had just come on to these forums for advice about the SKAT-9M for that exact reason, as I was just on the brink of buying it, but I am wondering if I should go straight for the exoskeleton.
