Discover the best strategies for finding and utilizing stashes in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky - Enhanced Edition. Learn where to look and what to avoid.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The game offers many stash locations, but the guide advises against purchasing stash information or going too far out of your way to find them.
  2. 2
    Stashes are often empty unless they are marked on your in-game map.
  3. 3
    Players will naturally acquire numerous stashes and valuable loot by scavenging from dead enemies and completing missions.
  4. 4
    Prioritize acquiring essential weapons like the Viper and Chaser shotgun early on, and later the TR-301, upgrading them as you progress.
  5. 5
    Focus on obtaining faction-specific armor, such as the Clear Sky armor suit, which offers significant protection and is more cost-effective than buying individual suits.
  6. 6
    Save money for crucial upgrades and armor, as these are expensive and vital for survival.
Tips
  • Avoid spending money on stash locations as they are often not worth the investment.
  • Looting dead bodies and completing missions provides a more reliable source of gear and supplies.
  • If a stash is not marked on your map, it is likely to be empty.
  • Concentrate on acquiring and upgrading key weapons and armor rather than relying on potentially empty stashes.
  • The guide mentions at least two stash locations for a silenced pistol in the Swamps area, but emphasizes that finding them is secondary to core progression.
