One of the best ways to secure loot in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is by looting stashes scattered around The Zone. They mostly contain some valuable items that can massively increase your chances of surviving the threats of the zone. Although most of the stashes in Stalker 2 are pretty easy to get, some are harder to reach and require players to do a bit of traversal to earn them. The Stash by the Cafe in Pripyat is a similar case, and here's how to claim it.

How to Get Stash by the Cafe in Pripyat
Players will find Stash by the Cafe in the River Port POI in the Pripyat region of Stalker 2. Once you arrive at the location, you'll notice that the stash is located on the roof of one of the cafe buildings, and there's seemingly no way to reach it. However, there's a way to get to the top, but you'll have to take the long way up. Here's how to reach the Stash by the Cafe in River Port.
First, you need to head to the west building of River Port POI to find a ladder leading up to the upper floor. After climbing the ladder, look around the roof to find some additional loot in a stash. You'll spot some gravitational anomaly at the edge of the roof, so make sure to equip your bolt first. Disable the anomaly by throwing the bolt and jumping over the gap to the other section of the roof.
Move towards the end of the roof and look at the edge to find a small blue vault. Open it up to claim some valuable items like medkits, food items, and grenades. Although there should be better items in the Stash by the Cafe in Stalker 2, considering how much work you have to do to reach it.
How to Get the Location of Stash by the Cafe
If you can't see the stash marker on the map for Stash by the Cafe in Stalker 2, you'll have to fetch the PDA from a body first. The PDA is located inside the CSC building in Pripyat.
Reach the second floor of the building, inside the room where the generator is located. There's a body on the left with a PDA lying next to it. Taking the PDA will mark the Stash by the Cafe location on the map.
If you don't take the PDA device from the CSC building, the stash won't spawn in River Port.
