The Zone is home to hidden treasures that are hidden deep within certain locations in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Players can only find these hidden away items if they take the time to explore every inch of a location and find hidden sections. One of these hidden areas can be found in the Cement Factory region while completing the Uninvited Guests side mission. The vaults are located in the underground facility where players search for Mytryk's gun.

How to Find the Hidden Vaults Under the Concrete Forest in Stalker 2

To reach the room with the vaults, players must first head towards the underground entrance inside the Concrete Forest location in the Cement Factory region of Stalker 2. It's a desolated building with a ladder leading into the underground section of the location. After heading down the ladder, you'll need to reach the room with the two vaults. Here's how to find it.

Reaching the Room with Two Vaults

After exiting the first room, take a sharp right turn and continue running down the corridor until you spot a door to your left. Cross through the machinery room and into the underground facility section. If it's the first time players are visiting this location, they'll encounter two burers. After eliminating them, go up the flight of rusted stairs and enter the hallway on the first floor.

After running down the twisting and turning hallway, you'll spot a metal gate on your left. Quickly go through it as the electrical anomaly will chase you. Right after entering the gate, you'll need to make another left turn to enter a doorway with lights spilling into the hallway. Following either the left or right corridor will lead you to the room in the middle with two vaults.

Make sure to disable the trip mines before entering the room to avoid taking significant damage.

Rewards in Both of the Vaults Under Concrete Forest

Fortunately, there's no code or keys required to open the two vaults under the Concrete Forest in Stalker 2. Opening the left vault will reward players with some valuable consumables and a Camel Hydration System blueprint for the SEVA-D suit. Opening the vault on the right will let players pick up the Aeroprotection Gas Mask which comes with high physical and PSI protection.
