The Dangerous Visitors side mission in Stalker 2 can be a little difficult to complete, but the rewards for doing so are worth it, at least I think so. Not only will you get some decent items, but the end of this side mission can lead you into the Magnetic Cave to find a new Artifact, the Spinner.
Keep reading to learn how to start (and complete) the Dangerous Visitors quest.
How To Get Silenced Pistol In Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobyl
Getting a Silenced Pistol is essential for players who want a stealthy experience in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and here's how to get it.
Starting the Dangerous Visitors Mission in Stalker 2
After you learn how to use the Bolt in Stalker 2 to find Anomalies, you will be tasked with finding Zalissya (A Tough Awakening main mission). Southwest of the mission point on the map, you'll see a special location marked as a Post Office.
There are a couple of scavengers around the building, and they must be killed. Once the coast is clear, go inside the house (in the image above) to find a man named Zhorik.
A blue flag icon on your compass should point you toward the side mission activity.
Speak to him and take on his request to find his comrade, Gloomy, who has been taken hostage by some bandits nearby at the Boiler House. However, you can find Zhorik's Stash before approaching the compound to get some useful goodies.
Stalker 2: Where is Zhorik's Stash?
The Stalker 2 stash isn't that hard to find. If you're leaving Zhorik and heading towards the blue side quest objective, look for a crashed helicopter in a swamp to the left of the main path. The stash is inside for the taking. Radiation is high in this area, so get in and out fast.
As for the contents of Zhorik's Stash...
- Two pieces of Bread
- Canned Food
- Bandage
- 9x19mm FMJ
- Viper-5 submachine gun
After getting the loot, head east-ish to find the Boiler House.
Locating Gloomy in Stalker 2
There's no easy way around it, but you'll need to take out the lackeys in the compound before you can properly speak to Gloomy (he's on the second floor inside the building).
Once you start talking to him, choose the "[Reward] I have a detector" dialog option. This will lead to Gloomy showing you the location of a stash of his own, which happens to be inside the cave right behind the compound (to the east).
Stalker 2: Artifact in Magnetic Cave
There will be a wooden sign with white text outside the front entrance of the Magnetic Cave. Walk inside to find a blue chest --this is Gloomy's Stash. It has the following items inside:
- Water
- Canned Food
- Cossacks Vodka
- Two Bandages
- Medkit
- 12x70mm Buckshot (ammo)
- 9x18mm PST (ammo)
While it may seem like there's not much else to explore in the cave, that is far from the truth.
Go ahead and shoot that red explosive canister near the wooden boxes, and a new path will be made available for trekking. You'll reach a room with fire coming out of the ground -- this is the time to pull out the Detector. As you approach the room with the flames, the device will begin to beep faster and faster as you get closer to the invisible Spinner Artifact.
We managed to find it to the left of the entrance from which you walked. Just move around until you see the button prompt to pick it up.
