I'd like to mention: You definitely CAN run to Pripyat...but that's later in the story when you actually get a pass. GSC provided this key for me around 2hrs before official launch & my goal was to IMMEDIANTLY run North & see how far we could get. That's why a majority of my first stream (ua-cam.com/users/live8dqJBJrdtMY?si=8Prk3zV3epcPZTBK) is me running North!

@@davidszep3488stop crying, there is a way to jump over the flipped train car, it's only the one, to the right of yaniv station 200-300 meters, many players have done it and it's clearly what the devs wanted, to find it by ourselves
@@davidszep3488 an open world game with a section of the map blocked off until you progress further in the story isn’t an open world game? i guess there are like, five open world games ever then
from yaniv station follow the trains right (east). find a train car that is flipped on its side with the wheels facing you. it is slightly angled, you jump on the lower wheel. from there you can jump again and get on top of the train car. the ground on the other side has deadly radiation. sprint to the buildings north and use radiation medicine to keep you alive.if you are having trouble finding the car, open the map and look for buildings on the other side of the train car. the building is called market, you can find it on an interactive map online. the train car is just south of that. you can also get back into yaniv pretty easily by jumping. i’ve found a couple locations, just look around. there’s one spot to the right of the door at yaniv. jump on the train then jump to the metal piece by the fence.
But you can get up north. Go to Yianiv, then travel back east along the rail road until the track branches and 2 trains ran into each other. There is a couple of toppled carriages there you can use to get up. Once you're there, spam some rad kits and run through the rad zone until you're clear.
Getting back is even easier. Travel to the north side of Yaniv station. There is a locomotive there that you can climb upon, then jump over to the containers and over the nearby fence.
Yeah rad fields are basically kill zones meant to deter players from travelling through it, but if you have enough medicine you can deal with it... That or get very very high RAD protection stats on armor in the game, as that sets a higher threshold on how much Rads per second needs to break that protection to increase on your gauge. Artifacts that decreases RADs is just a timer based deduction to remove the RAD from your gauge, it can push the RAD gained into negatives which stops RAD from going up when standing in potentially strong fields (not the death ones in out of bounds areas).
@@Oob144 With the interactive map you could look up where guides are and unlock those settlements, then get fast travel cheap and easy. But all in all you cannot leave the lesser zone without doing quests unfortunately. You could try to bypass the Eastern checkpoint into Cordon somehow though, since there are some spots where you wanna climb up to, to jump over the fence, but you can't do that without modding as regular parkour only works on any surface as high as your waist.

@@Mournisoma.Marblum I think it was sidequest but can't remember it's the buildings just southwest of the train ridge in cordon in the tallest building
You can, just jump on some train wrecks East of Yaniv station, but do not go straight out or the radiation will instant kill you, hug along the train wrecks until you make it back to the other side of Yaniv station, that's where you can go straight for Pripyat
I love Stalker games and this one is no exception. It is unforgivable and I can definitely feel the stalker vibes in there. The people who complain, never played the first games or are just trolls. Its a great game and future updates will fix the current issues.
This is funny, because when someone asked the devs can u go anywhere from the start or is there something gatekeeping u and the devs just said u can try.
There is a cave with a bunch of electro anomalies that allows you to bypass needing a Pripyat pass, but I can't figure out how to get through it without dying. Electricity doesn't wait long before coming back and 1 shotting you. Maybe need some artifacts for electricity
Found a little jump trick to get across the blockade just west of Yaniv station. Jumped in a train cart and jumped onto the barbed wire and over the barricade after.
There is one way to get around faster, and it's through a 'glitch' with those imploding anomalies where if you stand at the very very edge then throw a bolt to trigger, you take no damage and is pulled and launched at insanely high speeds across the map in that direction.
jumped in with wemod because i needed to know what was under the fog xD , enyway its not finished everything is pretty much empty u can see unfinished buildings and so on :)
The only way you can get anywhere without doing quests is modding like with parkour, otherwise it's pushing a crate or box around to try to gain height or getting lucky.
This was literally day 1. The goal of the stream was: can I run straight to Pripyat immediately. I did run down both sides and besides the “knocked over train” that people are jumping over (not intended), there’s a cave with spark anomalies that 1 shot you. If there’s an actual legit way to get in then you should say it instead of trying to be a smartass.
Yeah...I literally showed that in the video. But you need to progress to the point where you get the KEY. You can literally see at 1:24 that the door is locked.
I love this game so much and am sadly putting it on the shelf for the next few weeks until they start putting out the A-Life 2.0 patches. I really want to experience what this game was intended to be for the first run-through. I'm not sure if there's others in the same boat as me
i did that with the Cyberpunk - enjoyed it the first time on the release after the first fixes and the next playthrough was made on the patch 2.0 with the Phantom Liberty, enjoyed it even more
i teleported to reactor 4 with a cheat, the entire building is empty. though i am only a couple hours into the story, but i doubt me progressing the story has anything to do with the building being completely empty. devs probably just ran out of time and will finish it at a later date
You can move a box from a train cab NE of yaniv and jump the wire fence between the cabs. I dont advise it bc the enemies there are tough and if you do manage to get the good gear there youve pretty much made the rest of the game too easy and boring
People are always gonna complain, because of speedrunning and other dumb reasons, but I always like a decent bit of limiting in a game. Some mentioned how it was done in RDR2, and I also wanna mention it in GTA IV and older GTA games which were amazing games. It's just this new gaming crowd having issues.
I think it would be best if it was like in some other games where when you enter an area where you shouldn't be you just get super strong enemies spawn much more frequently until you're overrun. Definitely better than just a wall if they wanted to go this way.
It is an open world...you just need to progress in the story to get to Pripyat. It's like RDR2 where Arthur couldn't go to West Elizabeth/Blackwater. No one complained that RDR2 wasn't an "open world". I don't mind them preventing you from going to Pripyat until you get to a certain part of the story. I'm just glad there are no loading screens.

Dude just go to the turned over trains car next to yaniv station, it's the one train car that is flipped over, next to this particular car there is a ladder that united the flipped over train car with the next one to the right, jump on that ladder and then jump over the train, the devs clearly designed those train cars so you can find your own way in, just like in real life, stop crying and just play the game

@@ssg6726 where on the map are the cars you can climb on?
i love how in shadow of chernobyl you could straight run to the ending without any blockades, except enemies firing at you.
Are you sure about that? Pretty sure turning off Brain Scorcher is a requirement. Just like how the Pripyat Pass is a requirement in STALKER 2.
@Venoxium no, its actually not believe it or not.
@@Venoxium There was a bug in the initial release that made it possible. I skipped the brain scorcher entirely by accident.
Thats pretty much impossible without glitching.
