Passage of the game Stalker ("STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl") - Junkyard

DETAILED MAP OF THIS ZONE - NIPS AND IMPORTANT PLACES:

Important NPCs (of red color):

1 - Demon — He is responsible for protecting the local landfill. You will have the opportunity to complete one of his missions, which will require you to fend off a bandit raid. If the Imp survives this attack, you will be able to encounter him later in the game.

2 - Gray - He's hiding in one of the largest warehouse buildings on this map. You will have to help him and his colleagues in protecting this building. As a result, you will complete one of the most important quests. Make sure you finish this task first. Otherwise, Gray won't even talk to you.

3 - Prapor - one of the soldiers on duty. Unfortunately, you won't be able to get past him right away, especially since there are a lot of soldiers on duty nearby and you won't have a chance to fight all of them. You will be able to pass through the checkpoint once you have returned safely from the Agroprom Research Institute (with military documents in your possession). This will allow you to reach the northern bar.

Important places (green color):

1 - This is where you will start exploring this map (once you use the Cordon-Junkyard connection). Unfortunately, that doesn't mean you'll be safe here. After you've killed some of the nearby bandits (most of them can be found near the junkyard), LARGE enemy units will appear in the area without any warning. As a result, I wouldn't recommend planning your steps from here. Instead, consider choosing a more abandoned part of the map.

2 - This road leads directly to the landfill. You will see an interesting scene here. One of the friendly Stalkers is surrounded by bandits. I would recommend helping him, especially since you will have to use this road to get to the dump. Be sure to loot the bodies of fallen enemies.

3 - There is a landfill here. You will have the opportunity to help Bes and several other Stalker soldiers defend this area from enemy attacks. Unfortunately, this will not solve the problem. Even if you manage to complete the mission, more enemy units will come from the east. As a result, the Imp will likely die and you should leave the area as soon as possible.

4 - Dangerous anomalies. Despite what you might think, you should take a closer look at this section of the map, mainly because you will have the opportunity to pick up some precious artifacts here. However, you will have to watch out for vortex anomalies. Make sure you don't get caught because it would be very difficult to escape. Think about hitting the sprint button quickly and you might get lucky.

5 - Piles of junk. Unfortunately, this is a very radioactive area, so unless you have a decent suit or plenty of anti-radiation drugs at your disposal, you should stay away from these areas. The same applies to most other piles.

6 - This gate will lead you directly to the main warehouse, which is one of the most important buildings on this map. Additionally, you will encounter broken parts of the brick wall. You can also use them to your advantage.

7 - Main warehouse. First of all, you can find Gray and several other Stalker soldiers here. You will have to defend this warehouse to complete one of the main missions of the game. Additionally, you may receive side quests from time to time that will require you to fend off other bandit raids. However, you are not required to participate in these activities.

8 - You are likely to encounter a very large pack of wild dogs here. I would recommend killing the animals, especially since you can find many artifacts and caches in this area. You can also wait for the dogs to kill some nearby bandits.

9 - This is a highly radioactive area. The road leads directly to the Dark Valley sector. I wouldn't recommend going there if this is your first visit to the garbage area. You will have to wait until the main character gets better armor.

As soon as you return from the bar:

You will probably have a decent suit at your disposal. As a result, you won't be exposed to too much radiation. However, you must have at least 10 anti-radiation drugs in your inventory. Also, try running (instead of walking) towards the exit.

10 - Here you will come across a destroyed building. Watch out for one sniper. It covers the eastern part of the map, so be careful. Try to kill him as soon as possible. Once this is done, secure the entire area and look for objects of any significance.

11 - You will find the DUTY camp here. You will have the opportunity to talk with the warrant officer. If this is your first visit, you won't be able to pass the gate. Also, make sure you don't attack any of the nearby soldiers.

After you have returned from Agroprom Research Institute:

The camp will be attacked by a large group of wild boars. You will find out about this as soon as you return to camp. Animals will come from the northeast. I would recommend you start with a grenade so you can kill at least one boar. After that, start using your current machine gun. You should be able to get rid of at least 3-4 boars. Luckily, your actions will not affect the outcome because you will be given access to the bar area, however you will need to talk to the ensign to get permission. Head to this sector, but watch out for the vortex that is in the middle of the asphalt road.

12 - This road leads to the Agroprom Research Institute sector. Unfortunately, you will encounter a lot of enemy soldiers here. You will have to kill them all before heading to the exit. Also pay attention to the precious artifacts. There is only one road leading to your destination. You will also encounter several wild dogs, but these creatures will be very easy to kill.
