Stashes to Discover in Zaton

Zaton is a vast expanse in Stalker 2, filled with hidden treasures for those willing to explore. However, with its sprawling landscapes, it’s easy to overlook some of these caches due to their clever placements.

To help you on your adventure, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide detailing the location of each stash in Zaton. While most stashes contain standard survival gear, some offer surprising rewards.

Every Stash in Zaton

Zaton is laced with stashes in various unexpected spots. Below are the ones you can find throughout this region.

Izumrudne Broken Stage Stash

In Izumrudne, locate a broken stage in the eastern section of the area. Head behind the stage, climb onto the roof, and look for a hole to drop down into. There, in the corner, you’ll discover a blue stash.

Railway Maintenance Facility Stash

At the Railway Maintenance Facility, you will find six towers that you can first climb using ladders. Ascend the concrete platforms to reach the catwalks and traverse to the easternmost walkway. The stash is located atop the central water tower, where you’ll also find two grenades waiting for you.

Railway Maintenance Locked Tower

On the southwest side of the Railway Maintenance Facility, there’s a lookout tower with a locked keypad. You can discover the code by climbing the nearby tower.

Tip: The code is 2468. Enter it on the keypad to unlock a safe stash with PSZ-5I Hawk armor and various ammo crates.

Broken Train Bridge Stash

Travel southwest from the Railway Maintenance Facility until you encounter a damaged bridge. Here, you will meet an NPC named Darwin. You can choose to interact with him or simply move towards the stash, located at the top of the bridge structure.

Start climbing from the bridge’s left side and leap across to reach the right side. Continue upwards to find the stash at the end of the structure.

Note: Darwin may ask you to share the stash. If you refuse, he’ll turn hostile.

Opachychi Stash

In the area of Opachychi, you’ll come across several ruined and flooded homes. Navigate to the westernmost house, use crates to climb the roof, and leap to the adjoining half of the broken house to find a stash containing a Viper-5 SMG and associated ammunition.

Canning Factory Small Warehouse Stash

The Canning Factory hides two stashes. The first is in the smaller warehouse. Head inside and jump over the shelves at the back. The stash, which contains a Protective Coating blueprint for SEVA-V Suit armor, is located on the top shelf.

Canning Factory Large Warehouse Stash

The larger warehouse is filled with anomalous fields; use bolts to avoid harm as you traverse. Head to the back to find a metal staircase that leads up a catwalk. Continue through the anomalous fields until you discover a stash containing an M10 Gorgon SMG and Optician Gas Mask.

Stash Near Gas Station

At the northwest Gas Station, you’ll spot two trucks guarded by electrical anomalies. Jump to the roof of the single-story building from the trucks to find a stash containing an anti-radiation drug and Medkit.

Claw Stash

Northeast of the Gas Station, in a location called Claw, you will find two caves. Enter the higher cave by climbing the rock formations. Inside, check for a stash along with a Fora-221 Assault Rifle and some ammunition.

Abandoned Cars Stash

To the southwest of the Gas Station, locate a series of abandoned cars at the cliff’s edge. Make your way down to find a stash behind one of the vehicles containing some Vodka.

Hydrodynamics Lab Stash

In the Hydrodynamics Lab, east of Zaton, you’ll find a long white building. Use cement slabs to scale the roof and search near the far end for a stash. If you wish to locate the next stash, climb down and find an entry point inside the building.

Expect to battle zombies inside; one might drop a collar with a password for the locked stash.

Tip: Preparing with healing items is advisable for the battles ahead.

Hydrodynamics Lab Locked Stash

At the southwest corner of the lab, there’s a building with a large chimney. Input the password 4824 on the keypad to access the metal safe stash found in the center of the building. This stash includes a GP-25 grenade launcher attachment for the AKM-74S.

Hydrodynamics Lab Sewers Stash

Towards the eastern section of Hydrodynamics Lab, you can access a sewer entrance. Proceed through the pipes on the left until you encounter a deceased scientist alongside a stash located next to the skeleton.

Tip: Utilize a flashlight to navigate through the dimly lit areas.

Lviv Stash

To the south of Hydrodynamics Lab, you’ll find a dock called Lviv. You’ll notice a large ship; to access the stash, go to the end of the pier and board the ship. Progress through it by climbing and finally ascending to the control center, where you’ll find the stash containing Marauder Suit armor and healing items.

Ranger Station Stash

At the eastern portion of the Ranger Station, look for some containers. One of the containers will have an open door; climb up to it. Inside, you’ll discover a stash with PSZ-5D Universal Protection armor.

Repair Quay Stash

The Repair Quay is situated in southern Zaton. Navigate to the eastern part of this location where a large crane stands. Climb the ladder and deal with the anomalies using bolts, making your way to the top to find the stash.

Port Crane Stash

Further south from the Repair Quay, you’ll reach Port Crane. Enter a large building with broken windows and open doors to find the stash, but be ready to eliminate any foes in your way. Afterward, climb the stairs to uncover a stash containing a Return Mechanism Sleeve Tightener blueprint for VS Vintar.
