1 - Swamp scanner - 0:00
- The first scanner is located on an isolated island, which you can reach via the railroad. Be aware that there are two anomalies when crossing the water. After that, the island will have a couple of zombies. Once you eliminate them, head to the end of the railroad and retrieve the artifact from the already charged scanner.
2 - Zaton scanner - 1:50
- The second scanner is located inside a tunnel behind the bars. To get there, turn right and proceed to the next tunnel entrance, which will have some broken bars. Enter and turn left at the first turn. Crouch until you reach the end of the tunnel, but be careful, as there is an anomaly inside. After that, retrieve the artifact from the already charged scanner and head out. You may exit through the same broken bars entrance, but I recommend taking the stairs up. Doing so will position you behind a Ward ambush, giving you an advantage in dealing with them.
3 - Cooling station scanner - 4:50
- The third scanner is located on a crane. You will need to climb up using the stairs. Reaching the scanner shouldn't be too difficult, but be cautious of the electro anomalies and the potential presence of Monolith soldiers in the area. When you reach the scanner, I recommend saving your game before activating it. This time, you will need to charge the scanner. While charging, stay out of the sphere; otherwise, you will receive a significant dose of radiation. Once the charging is complete, take cover. Two electrical poltergeists will appear: one will be on the metal support, flying left and right to your right (when facing the scanner), and the second will appear beneath your position. After dealing with the poltergeists, take the same route back down via the stairs.
4 - Garbage scanner - 9:10
- The fourth scanner needs to be charged. It is located near a digging vehicle, a military BTR, and a metal structure protruding from the ground. After activating it, stand back to avoid receiving a large dose of radiation. When the scanner finishes charging, don't rush toward it, as it will create a field of anomalies. Throw a bolt to check for anomalies and proceed carefully. Be aware that there will be a psy-dog . I was fortunate that the main psy-dog wandered into an anomaly and 'killed' the others. After defeating the mutant, retrieve the artifact and leave the area.
5 - Rostok scanner - 10:00
The fifth scanner is located inside an abandoned building. Upon entering the building, you will see another stalker activating it. After the scanner finishes charging, a bloodsucker will appear and kill the stalker. After defeating the mutant, retrieve the artifact and leave the area.
6 - Chemical plant scanner - 11:20
- The sixth scanner is located on the roof of a solitary building next to the river. To reach the scanner, you will need to take the stairs to the upper floor and then jump through a window onto the roof. Note that if you arrive during the daytime, the scanner will be inoperable. For the scanner to work, you must visit this location after midnight (00:00). After activating the scanner and avoiding radiation exposure, be prepared for a Burer to appear near your position. I also encountered a group of bandits; I’m not sure if that’s intentional or just a coincidence. Regardless, after defeating the mutant and any enemies, leave the area.
7 - Burnt forest scanner - 13:45
- The seventh scanner is located in the middle of an anomaly field. Use your detector to navigate your way through the field. You may also find an artifact in the area. After activating and charging the scanner, two fire-poltergeists will appear. Once you have defeated them, carefully make your way out of the anomaly field.
8 - Yaniv scanner - 16:05
- The eighth scanner is easy to reach, but be prepared for a fight. After activating and charging the scanner, a group of mutants led by an armored elk will appear. Once you have defeated them, retrieve the artifact and leave the area.
9 - Jupiter scanner - 17:20
- The ninth scanner is easy to reach, but after activating it and avoiding radiation during its operation, two electrical poltergeists will appear. They will fly around the area, throwing objects at you and creating electrical anomalies. After defeating the mutants, leave the area.
10 - Prypiat scanner - 20:10
- The last (tenth) scanner is located on the roof of a building in Pripyat, near the river. To reach it, approach the building and enter through the door facing the river. From there, take the stairs to your left. On the second floor, take the next set of stairs to your left and proceed to the roof through the door. Activate the scanner and maintain a safe distance without falling to the ground; otherwise, you will receive a significant dose of radiation (as I did). After charging the scanner, a large group of zombie Monolithians will appear. Once you’ve defeated them, two bloodsuckers will attack. After killing the bloodsuckers, leave the area as a victorious champ.
