Stalker 2: How To Keep Tutorial Items

As a seasoned Stalker who’s navigated through the treacherous wastelands of the Zone more times than I can count, let me share a little-known secret that has saved my virtual hide more times than I care to admit – the art of loot preservation in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl!


In the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, once the initial missions conclude, players will find themselves starting anew, which could be disheartening for those who took pleasure in gathering loot from the very beginning. After spending so much time and effort amassing weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, and anti-radiation medication, it’s understandable that players would want to preserve at least a portion of their hard-earned haul.

For the issue at hand, we propose an approach that ensures the bulk of the treasure remains undamaged, despite Skiff being ambushed and seemingly abandoned in the Lower Region.

How To Keep Tutorial Items In Stalker 2

To ensure you hold onto all the acquired items from the Tutorial in Stalker 2, locate the Safe situated near the third marker for the Scanner as your guide. Prior to initiating the ensuing sequence that may cause temporary character control loss and trigger a cutscene (which can be skipped or speeded through), search the building thoroughly for a Blue Vault.

To get into the secure area, players need to circumnavigate the structure, clear a few crates by leaping over them. It’s wise for them to deposit any valuable items they wish to save in this spot. Regrettably, only damaged weapons with a “broken” status or on the verge of breaking can be retained; all other items will vanish and cannot be kept.

After chatting with Richter and completing the tutorial on Anomaly disruption, players can re-enter the building, then head back to the Safe to retrieve all their stored items. Players will discover that supplies like Medkits, Food, Water, Vodka, Ammunition, and other similar goods are included in the Container’s inventory, meaning they haven’t vanished.

Items such as relics and weapons in good condition are said to vanish on their own (supposedly taken by those who ambushed Skiff), and cannot be retrieved. Given that the game necessitates frequent use of consumables, it’s reasonable for players to retain some of them using this method. At least, this will aid them in recovering from being completely emptied by bandits.

This trick can be applied to other containers within the surrounding area too. However, given its proximity to the Save Point, it would make more sense to execute it here. It is worth noting that this could potentially be a bug, although the disappearance of weapons suggests that the developers may have recognized this technique and have no plans to rectify it at present.
