Find The Stalker Groups Stash (2)

Guide to completing the 'Find the Stalker Group's Stash' mission in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Enhanced Edition. Recover your gear and uncover Strelok's secrets.

Alright, let's get this stash found. After you've finished up with Fang and grabbed his PDA, Lebedev will give you the heads-up about the increased emissions and send you on your way. This kicks off the Find the stalker group's stash mission. First things first, those Bandits who robbed Fang also got you! They took everything except your trusty knife, but they did leave you a PMm and some ammo. Head towards the Bandit camp, which is located among some cement blocks between the road and a toxic swamp. Your best bet is to sneak up on them. Stick to the trees on the east side of the road, then use the cement blocks for cover. Remember, a headshot is usually the quickest way to deal with a Bandit. Your stolen gear is in a green trunk near where the two Bandits are chilling. Grab everything from the trunk to complete the Get your items back task. You'll get most of your stuff back, but sadly, not your money. Now, for the stash itself. You'll be heading from the Garbage to the Agroprom. Normally, there are a couple of ways to go, but at this point, there's only one path, and guess what? It's guarded by more Bandits. Use the train tunnel to your advantage and sneak past them to the north. As soon as you get to the top of the mound, one of them will spot you. Don't worry too much, just sprint towards the transition point. If you go fast enough, you should be able to avoid a firefight. Once you transition into the Agroprom, a Duty checkpoint will tell you to hurry over. As you approach, the Find the stalker group's stash mission will be cancelled, and you'll get a new task: Talk to the outpost commander. Don't worry, the stash mission isn't gone for good. After you complete the Leave the flooded area task, Find the stalker group's stash will pop back up as a new objective. When it's back, you'll need to deal with another squad of Bandits. Carefully move down the hallway towards a stack of boxes on your left, and you'll see an open air duct. Head up that duct, and you'll find yourself in the stalker group's hideout. Look in the far-left corner of the room for a PDA. Interact with it, and a recording from Strelok will play, detailing their activities and mentioning Sakharov. Once this recording starts, the Find the stalker group's stash mission is officially complete! After the recording finishes, Lebedev will contact you with instructions to head to Yantar, and you'll get a new task: Leave the underground.
