Malfunction

This armor is the legacy of a stalker obsessed with finding the 'true message' of the Zone. Attempting to turn his helmet into a receiver, he caught only static, which drove him insane before the signal cut off. The stalker was sent for treatment to the Mainland, but his tale continued to circulate around the Zone, sparking interest among those eager to experience the original armor without compromising their own sanity. Crafty individuals capitalized on this by selling replicas of the unfortunate stalker's armor.
