Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but If your a loot goblin like me your gonna be always stacked with loot to combat having to constantly head back to base I would recommend setting up outposts all around the map by clearing a POI and using the loot box to store ammo,meds,food and maybe a spare weapon. I also recommend having a “loadout” ready before rushing off into the zone as speed is definitely a huge advantage when you don’t want to waste ammo,meds and time.

i let myself use certain cheats to carry better because i am loot goblin, loot goblin for life. No matter what game. Sure yeah, i could blast game through with 1-3 guns but thats not fun to me, i could but dont want to. Life is hard when you are loot goblin and cant give up, you NEED search every inch and every item when i dont even need it. F this, feels like a curse. Currently have several different ammo and their variations all have 3x900, some have little less and one type have 4x900 and almost halfway to 5x900.

Still managed to get thunderberry on fourth reload of save. By the way Thunderberry makes an audible sound when it hops to a new location. I assume these amped up artifacts all jump around the anomaly quite a bit . If you keep hearing it teleport alot. it must be thunderberry and just run at the sound throwing the tool at any anamoly in the way. Edit: also be ready to run . that area is very dangerous with multiple groups for friendly fire issues and bloodsuckers. Two of them spawned... after I walked out of the tunnel with thunderberry.
The fan service GSC served up for people who played the previous 3 games is top notch! So many old friends you run into from previous games (obviously Skif doesn't know them, but WE do). That burnt homestead bandit encounter and healing the Stalker actually had a similar thing happen at the same spot in Clear Sky. A lot of stash locations in Stalker 2 are stash locations in the old games as well!
@housemana The ai is a broken mess and ALife has been replaced be a basic spawner. In its current state, it doesn't feel like a traditional stalker game. That doesn't eliminate facts. They did a great job showing the zone after the events of the first 3 games and representing the characters from said games.
18:00---- I learned this the easy way, I have a friend who's a veteran stalker and didn't know this but you can actually go through glass without taking damage - if you take your time- don't walk full speed or sprint especially, just tip toe through and you can make it through with 0 damage
cool, nice to know only knew u can crouch to avoid most of the damage if u avoid falling of things or jumping, u are good to go ^^ never stop to learn it seems, and Stalker 2 realy has the perfect Stalker Vibe so far, im realy impressed
Yes that is true, but there is a pool of anomaly that can spawn in any location. There is a medium rarity that gives good endurance and bleed protection from the same train tunnel. But on my 6th run of the tunnel I got the artifact, just save before you try and rinse and repeat until you get what you want
@oneesan9306 no, but it only repeated once on me out my runs. I saved before entering the tunnel and I'm on series x not pc. Thought I'd mention that as that may be a factor as they handle memory management differently, like on pc it may load the loot instance from further away.
@@TAGSProle ya luckely ive got autosave in the factory so i just run from there atm and getting different artifacts...its actually good to mention that. EDIT: after 1:30h of grinding FINALLY GOT IT!!! i was almost on giving up 🤣
For everydne complaining about repairs, Im still using the starting MP5 and a AK74M I looted off a bandit, as long as you come back to town to sell all the loot you pull off scumbags within a timely manner. I only spend around 1-3K on repairs but Im making like 5-10K selling off a bunch of AKS74Us.
When you sell weapons or clothes, add a cartridge, set the quantity to one and sell immediately without confirmation. You will see that your funds have doubled. This is a bug
What is incredibly satisfying to an old OG Stalker player, is that it sounds and looks the same - it's like you just left for a while and came back. Brilliant. Nice video, too BTW.
Stalker 2 turned out just as I expected, I knew GSC wouldn't release their game in a terrible state as so many other games have released in the past few years. And sure it wasn't a perfect release, but they delayed it for long enough and most people that are having issues are ones trying to run it with outdated hardware it seems, but I built a new PC in preparation for this game alone. It was well worth it cause I have no issues besides minor bugs of npcs being janky when talking to them or little textures not in the correct place, but its easily overlooked and does not damper my enjoyment at all. This game is incredible and so faithful to the series! Other devs need to take note of how you make a game and don't rush it. I can't believe I'm finally playing this game though! I'm going to be playing Stalker 2 only for the next 6 months without a doubt lol it's so good !
Usually if the marketing machine is in full throttle mode the game is going to be shit, if it's somewhat silent, you know it's the real deal. This logic didn't fail me yet.
@@kevinh1792 npc AI is okaish, yes A-life is broken and devs noted this in last news, soon or late it will be fixed. Controls issue on Xbox also noted by devs in latest news, i am sure they will fix it waay faster than A-life.
PSZ-7 Military Body Armor can randomly be found on the guards around the Sphere in the Lesser Zone. @19:20 Sometimes you can get an artifact from the roof also
This is like the best armor ive found so far (besides the one the chik at rostok sells. But its a helmet armor combo so you cant decide what headgear you wear)
@@davidponder1654during the mission where you have to help the people at the detention center if you kill the Wardens a few of them potentially will drop their armor and gas mask so currently that is what I’m using and it’s like wearing a juggernaut suit with all the upgrades on it
For now best armour I’ve got is from last journalist stash. It’s in Duga region. Bottom left on map when you opened this quest. Enter the region - right bottom road from helicopter base. When you will find building save your game. You don’t need guns here. Knife and health is important. Just enter the building, stay to the right side of truck and wait for enemy that handle all firearm inside and also your guns. So set knife and wait until he will come for you. Couple mins and you will kill him when he go to the zone behind truck. 2 hours gone to find this trick, cause he has a lot of guns and they kill you immediately. Then you need to turn on generator, go to the balcony and open safe door. You will get sute with 4 artifacts slots, PSI protection and good all around. Also super gun for future
You mean the Chimera, a PSI mutant mountain lion that basically spawns illusions of itself when attacking. Edit: Oh wait that psi mutant isn't a chimera, and the chimera is exclusive to Pripyat.
@@dra6o0n no I don't mean that at all they are two separate things lol. you can look at the wiki and look at all the mutants including ones that didn't end up getting used. you can find these in the anomaly mod they found the code and put them in it
You can get another freedom suit at the brood, it's on top the SE small building where the pipes intersect. Correction its the Guardian of freedom suit
In Lesser zone, if you do the side mission to collect the debt for the barman. Go up that water tower, and you will find a scoped AK. Also, you can find a scoped sniper rifle on the roof of ISPF building.
If you want a pretty decent Seva V freedom suit which can be upgraded with 2 lead artefact containers (it's a bit of an exploit getting the armor), you can run to rostok and join the arena and when you get to round 3 (i think) you get the armor for the round, once finished drop it(close to the door) before going back to the guy who will automatically take the stuff back. Once he finishes talking to you run to the container which has your stuff (do not do this if you picked up the gear from the ground because it will delete it). So once these 2 steps are done (1. talking with the guy 2. opening the container) you can pick up the stuff from the ground and it wont be deleted.
Men, ur videos are great. Like it and helped me too. Tho I can't run and gun like most ppl. Those guys killed me a lot. Especially that camo mutants and dogs.
First time playing any stalker game but helpful tip I realized. If u don't want to lose all ur gear after the prolog, there's a safe u can put it all in right b4 doing the 3rd scan
I never got thr same artifact as you, I got one called chocolate bar and despite wondering around with my scanner there was no more in the train tunnel 😢😢.
Something else for you guys, you can find a unique 416 assault rifle in the building to the south of the railway maintenance facility in the Zaton region, look for the blue truck, go through the hole in the wall and it's in there with ammo etc.
I haven't seen any channel talking about the fact that literally once you exit the main prologue, you can head on to the Cordon region(from de SouthEast corner of the Lesser, and get an early AS Lavina, an SPSA, a Buket, the SPECIAL AK74U, a High capacity attachment for the AR, Military Body Armor, artifact and a bunch of goodies.
Its pretty cool how the progression in this game is, i restarted after having some issues and watched your first video on finding stuff. 2 days later i watch this one and i found all this stuff already it feels like im getting better at the game. Now i just have to stop falling off stuff.
9:05 you don't have to walk around to get on top where the loot is, there's a small gravity anomaly right next to it, just jump inside and it will spring you up on top (feels like this was the intended solution)
Spent 5 hours playing this today. What a rollercoaster! Had to get mods just to get it to work and I played on controller because I heard mouse controls are messed up - that was a big mistake. Will be trying mouse tomorrow... That being said, I've never played a Stalker game before but I've never been sucked into a game so quickly before!
Your game runs so much smoother than mine. I think the 10700k is showing its age. I can't play with FSR on because it causes me to crash damn near everywhere I go.. Thanks for the vid, good stuff.
There is another spot that is easier to get the wind of freedom suit in garbage, it's close to the outpost in garbage. It's in a fenced in area and you have to jump up on a pipe to the roof.
I never played stalker before just started stalker 2 yesterday these comments are so helpful i didn't know i needed to be selling shit im a noob if anyone got advice leave a reply im immediately loving this game
That glass anomaly acts as a sort of non-Newtonian fluid. The faster you move through it, the more solid it becomes. You can't throw bolts or shoot through it, but if you walk slow it won't even damage you.
North of the wind of freedom armor location, at the brood, there is a PSV-5 Guardian of Freedom suit on top of one of the buildings, on the south border of the burning dump, you need to parkour along some pipes to get to it. Has significantly better stats than the wind of freedom but weighs a fair bit more.
How do you like HDR support on it? btw I just posted actual INPUT LAG FIX and best settings video alongside, best start video, editing best artifact video now so feel free to check it out. not spamming just trying to help cuz game is very good but UE5 is...
Me after jumping through the school window in Duga straight after leaving the lesser zone for the SEVA I Armor "A yes these would also have been okey choices"
Same saved before the tunnel and got a different one every time I got a shell but already have that one so loaded my quick save and then got rat king and a other one but forgot it's name think it's fair to say they are random
@Bustugrimess i saved like maybe 80 meters away the entrance of the tunnel. Found one last night somewhere else then got killed by a sucker forgot to save and went back to get it again but got a shell that time from a spot where I picked up a thunder berry.
Hey everyone, just a note, I got 2 of the PSZ-7 Military suits from the Lessor Zone, that was the bandit camp east of the Northern Point going to Garbage. The guy on the roof had 2 of these on him, just if you like to try and see if you can get it even sooner for yourself.
FYI artifacts are RNG totally random on what we get Make a save before you go find it incase you don’t get the one you want I’ve done this about 50 times now and I still haven’t gotten the legendary artifact it’s actually annoying as hell Edit- finally got Thunderberry after 60 times I think
4:40 the Buket is SO good, I'm still using it because of that laser accuracy that makes headshots so simple. If you want an upgraded version the Spitter is available from a mission involving Zakar Babay and Sasko Cheery.
Man there are so many nooks and crannies to explore I'll be living in the zone through March. Lol. Stalker 2 is definitely a game where there is so much side content I can't forget to check in with the main story every now and then.
In the Cooling Towers zone to the left of the tower with what looks like a portal to hell is a building named SKD Assembly Unit. On the top floor on the left side of the warehouse is a exoskeleton sitting on a shelf . Its got pretty insane stats but you can't sprint in it so that might be a dealbreaker to some but you can sell it for about 25k if you don't like it.
@@redspartan9825we will get to use the mods soon. Just like on Arma reforger, Skyrim, fallout 4 etc. So far it's great on series X. Can't wait to see it a year from now and all the mods.
you can actually get the ptz armor even earlier if you follow the stalker main quest in lesser zone i got it on both of my playthrough my stream and personal playthrough
Yesssssssssssssss bro there's an ak with a scope on top of a water tower in the lesser zone i came across on a i wonder if anything is up there moment it's been monumental in the early game im only like an hour 30 in
You can also get some pretty sexy armour from a stash in the upper crawlspace bit of a building in Zalissya. You have to jump on a truck, onto the roof, drop down onto the top of the porch, through the gap and in there, you can find a Mercenary's Light Armour with half decent stats and it only weighs 2kg. 😎
11:40 inside that little room at the end of the tunnel is a merc with a sniper, just throw a nade through the window to kill him, then run down the tunnel to go loot it
19:34 be careful with keys but if you pick one up and are unaware of it during your travels you may never find the door it goes to. I have a mystery key and I have no idea if it's useful for or not
Hi just wanted to ask, is there a post game? Like would there be new quests, activities to do and or new gear to find? or would it just send you back to the main menu? I'm planning on buying the game just needed to know first.
Since the other guy didn't help I'll do it, after you finish the game that's it you finish and the save is done, you can't do new game plus or anything so yeah there's nothing after the ending
there should be 2 expansions I think coming out aka quest lines and also multiplayer, btw I just posted actual INPUT LAG FIX and best settings video alongside, best start video, editing best artifact video now so feel free to check it out. not spamming just trying to help cuz game is very good but UE5 is...
The artifacts are random, they are not the same every time. Also, the bandits at the depot are friendlies, you do not need to kill them if you don't want too. No idea if they are tied to a quest or not later.
@ESO are these garbage side mission also still available after the kingpin mission since i broke the game now still having roosevelts PDA while the game says i finished that mission so ill go a save file back and first finish that ..
Press X to walk before you go into the shattered glass anomaly and you will take no bleeding damage. If you run into it then you get 1000 cuts and start bleeding 😊
Hey for the artifact in the detention center, where is it?? I’ve been looking for ever I can’t find it. I searched all floors and even got on the roof somehow and still can’t find it. Is it a bug where is spawns in unreachable locations?
The beauty of these single player games is the thrill of exploration.
Yahway
The sky is blue when the sun is out on a bright summer day
Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but If your a loot goblin like me your gonna be always stacked with loot to combat having to constantly head back to base I would recommend setting up outposts all around the map by clearing a POI and using the loot box to store ammo,meds,food and maybe a spare weapon.
I also recommend having a “loadout” ready before rushing off into the zone as speed is definitely a huge advantage when you don’t want to waste ammo,meds and time.

If you want a pretty decent Seva V freedom suit which can be upgraded with 2 lead artefact containers (it's a bit of an exploit getting the armor), you can run to rostok and join the arena and when you get to round 3 (i think) you get the armor for the round, once finished drop it(close to the door) before going back to the guy who will automatically take the stuff back. Once he finishes talking to you run to the container which has your stuff (do not do this if you picked up the gear from the ground because it will delete it). So once these 2 steps are done (1. talking with the guy 2. opening the container) you can pick up the stuff from the ground and it wont be deleted.
A tip for dealing with the demon dog/cat thing at 3:35, lure it over to the two gravity anomalies just barely northwest of the stash location.
Btw for the ecologist suit you don't have to take the damage from the glass anomalies you can just crouch through them and you don't take any damage
This is not true. You will still take damage some times. I think it depends on what way the shards are facing

Your game runs so much smoother than mine. I think the 10700k is showing its age. I can't play with FSR on because it causes me to crash damn near everywhere I go.. Thanks for the vid, good stuff.
There is another spot that is easier to get the wind of freedom suit in garbage, it's close to the outpost in garbage. It's in a fenced in area and you have to jump up on a pipe to the roof.
Please do more of these for each zone in the zone please 🙏🏼
I never played stalker before just started stalker 2 yesterday these comments are so helpful i didn't know i needed to be selling shit im a noob if anyone got advice leave a reply im immediately loving this game
Don't forget to unload the ammo off all the guns you loot, so you don't leave empty handed if they're broken.
That glass anomaly acts as a sort of non-Newtonian fluid. The faster you move through it, the more solid it becomes. You can't throw bolts or shoot through it, but if you walk slow it won't even damage you.
North of the wind of freedom armor location, at the brood, there is a PSV-5 Guardian of Freedom suit on top of one of the buildings, on the south border of the burning dump, you need to parkour along some pipes to get to it. Has significantly better stats than the wind of freedom but weighs a fair bit more.
correction it is on the east boarder small little building with flat top roof single story but thank you greatly cause holy shit the armor is good
@@theodorehazel6920 Yup that's the one, sorry if my directions were a little unclear, but glad you found it!
Wind of freedom can also be accesed bu jumping into nearby anomaly under certain angle, it will slightly increase your jump
Playing on series x & LG oled C1 TV with no problems at all.
This game is awesome so far.
How do you like HDR support on it? btw I just posted actual INPUT LAG FIX and best settings video alongside, best start video, editing best artifact video now so feel free to check it out. not spamming just trying to help cuz game is very good but UE5 is...
Me after jumping through the school window in Duga straight after leaving the lesser zone for the SEVA I Armor "A yes these would also have been okey choices"
That excuse me at 5:40 killed me 😂😂
8:00 didn't find any thunderberry all i got was a shell
Same saved before the tunnel and got a different one every time I got a shell but already have that one so loaded my quick save and then got rat king and a other one but forgot it's name think it's fair to say they are random
@@Melle6991how far back do you save I do it right before I enter and I get the same thing
@Bustugrimess i saved like maybe 80 meters away the entrance of the tunnel. Found one last night somewhere else then got killed by a sucker forgot to save and went back to get it again but got a shell that time from a spot where I picked up a thunder berry.
Loved the face plant dude im over 70 deaths after 7 hours this game can be kind of brutal lol
Hey everyone, just a note, I got 2 of the PSZ-7 Military suits from the Lessor Zone, that was the bandit camp east of the Northern Point going to Garbage. The guy on the roof had 2 of these on him, just if you like to try and see if you can get it even sooner for yourself.
Thanks brother 👍
FYI artifacts are RNG totally random on what we get
Make a save before you go find it incase you don’t get the one you want
I’ve done this about 50 times now and I still haven’t gotten the legendary artifact it’s actually annoying as hell
Edit- finally got Thunderberry after 60 times I think
Your lucky man I’m still trying to get one :/
I'm one and a half day into farming that specific artifact, i got some medium rare ones but not even a single legendary😢
4:40 the Buket is SO good, I'm still using it because of that laser accuracy that makes headshots so simple. If you want an upgraded version the Spitter is available from a mission involving Zakar Babay and Sasko Cheery.
Man there are so many nooks and crannies to explore I'll be living in the zone through March. Lol. Stalker 2 is definitely a game where there is so much side content I can't forget to check in with the main story every now and then.
at Detention Centre artifact could spawn on roof, so if it is not at basement - check the roof it has thermal anomalies also.
In the Cooling Towers zone to the left of the tower with what looks like a portal to hell is a building named SKD Assembly Unit. On the top floor on the left side of the warehouse is a exoskeleton sitting on a shelf . Its got pretty insane stats but you can't sprint in it so that might be a dealbreaker to some but you can sell it for about 25k if you don't like it.
Hey. Can you make a guide on getting cheap repairs? It's getting pretty expensive on hard mode
you can add mods via nexus mods and get a mod like this i already use one :D
I honestly think they need to rebalance it, currently you can use cheaper gear or swap out armor for certain situations.
I think it's going to be a mod, don't worry it's fine modding the game everyone does
Yeah.. i'm over on xbox so i'm just gonna have to eat the cost I guess and ditch my nice gear for now in the stash
@@redspartan9825we will get to use the mods soon. Just like on Arma reforger, Skyrim, fallout 4 etc. So far it's great on series X. Can't wait to see it a year from now and all the mods.
19:40 I watched all of your Stalker 2 videos but I dont remember which weapon is that???
we need way more videos form this game
Min 3:20… Demon dog is easy to kill if you run back to the fire anomaly. Just put the anomaly between you and it, and it will run through and die.
13:34 my dude standing in the doorway almost made me jump out of my seat
I think you were really lucky getting Thunderberry, the artifact spawned for me but it was just battery!
you can actually get the ptz armor even earlier if you follow the stalker main quest in lesser zone i got it on both of my playthrough my stream and personal playthrough
Make a full walktrough of STALKER I enjoyed when you did it for KCD.
15:08, you can obtain that armor if you reach that tower sniper in Sphere location. I actually got two of them at once.
Silenced m4 in the zaton train station
Gotta mark that bro, ty
Suppressed *
Yesssssssssssssss bro there's an ak with a scope on top of a water tower in the lesser zone i came across on a i wonder if anything is up there moment it's been monumental in the early game im only like an hour 30 in
@ oh that’s sick ima go grab that
@@spicywienervlogs5791 u can get early if u side with that man, not the bandit.
You should make walkthroughs as you go through the game
1:09 The silence pistol is not as good as Skifs Default Pistol with a silencer and is absolute BIS till endgame.... why would I swap that?
Uhhh for the extended mag that "demon dog" is a cat bro 😂😂😂
I found the hypercube in the magnetic cave in the lesser zone as well
Damn lucky, I found it in the big ole fire pit later on 🫠
You can also get some pretty sexy armour from a stash in the upper crawlspace bit of a building in Zalissya. You have to jump on a truck, onto the roof, drop down onto the top of the porch, through the gap and in there, you can find a Mercenary's Light Armour with half decent stats and it only weighs 2kg. 😎
Its great, thanks
So many bots in the comments. Wtf 😳
They're on Steam as well. Saying this game is perfect and the best 😂
Took about 23 attempts to get the right artifact, not 100% chance to get the legendary so save before going into that tunnel!
0:47 there's nothing stopping you 😂.... I mean the zone is a little bit. At least it's trying to
11:40 inside that little room at the end of the tunnel is a merc with a sniper, just throw a nade through the window to kill him, then run down the tunnel to go loot it
I was wondering if you'd do a full playthrough?
Thanks, I found the bandit outfit not not going in the tunnel for the art effect.Thanks
19:34 be careful with keys but if you pick one up and are unaware of it during your travels you may never find the door it goes to. I have a mystery key and I have no idea if it's useful for or not
Hi just wanted to ask, is there a post game? Like would there be new quests, activities to do and or new gear to find? or would it just send you back to the main menu? I'm planning on buying the game just needed to know first.
Play and find out
Since the other guy didn't help I'll do it, after you finish the game that's it you finish and the save is done, you can't do new game plus or anything so yeah there's nothing after the ending
there should be 2 expansions I think coming out aka quest lines and also multiplayer, btw I just posted actual INPUT LAG FIX and best settings video alongside, best start video, editing best artifact video now so feel free to check it out. not spamming just trying to help cuz game is very good but UE5 is...
The artifacts are random, they are not the same every time. Also, the bandits at the depot are friendlies, you do not need to kill them if you don't want too. No idea if they are tied to a quest or not later.
@ESO are these garbage side mission also still available after the kingpin mission since i broke the game now still having roosevelts PDA while the game says i finished that mission so ill go a save file back and first finish that ..
Hey mate, which video settings are u using (gamma, brightnes...)?
The wind of freedom is supposed to be easier to get to but the pipe you need to walk up is slightly to tilted to walk up
If you crouch walk through the floating glass shards you can afford taking damage and bleeding effect
3:34 "This demon dog right here" is a cat.
7:35 is totally random spot, sadly. You had a lot of luck :)
Press X to walk before you go into the shattered glass anomaly and you will take no bleeding damage. If you run into it then you get 1000 cuts and start bleeding 😊
There's a high capacity Viper-5 magazine out back of the Radiatio Hazard Sign Storage behind some breakable boxes
Question about the ecologist suite. Can you go back and get the suite after doing this mission. Or is it locked out if you missed it the first time.
8:10 I got the Snowflake artifact did I do something wrong?
I think its by chance because I got a RatKing
I will be posting best artifact video tomorrow, feel free to check it out.
I got moon light
Any way of saving your guns after the tutorial mission? As in could you hid them in a box beforehand?
Hey, thank you for the video. ESO, can you make a tutorial how can we make "peace" with some faction? Hugues from Brazil.
Thunderberry does not spawn in that location in my game, I get something called Snowflake every time. Farmed it for a while.
18:13 Just walk slowly through the glass shards and they won't harm you
Hey for the artifact in the detention center, where is it?? I’ve been looking for ever I can’t find it. I searched all floors and even got on the roof somehow and still can’t find it. Is it a bug where is spawns in unreachable locations?
