Trivia

 * The PDA description is - with slight alterations - taken from S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
 * In the Developer's Cut the inventory model of the Guardian of Freedom suit is reused for the Shield of Freedom suit and the Clear Sky faction armours, the CS-1b body armour, the CS-2 body armour and the CS-3a body armour.
 * While in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky the CS-1b body armour is the heavy variant for assault troops and the CS-3a body armour the light variant for scouts, it is just the other way around in Developer's Cut.
