Unlocking the Brain Scorcher's Secret Stash in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

The Brain Scorcher, a landmark location in the Stalker universe, also features in Stalker 2. Within its vicinity lies a seemingly impenetrable Tamper-Proof Stash, secured within a locked warehouse. However, a clever workaround exists, bypassing the need for a key. This guide details how to access this hidden loot.

Accessing the Warehouse

Locate the Brain Scorcher in the northern Malachite region. The Tamper-Proof Stash's location will be marked on your map, guiding you to the warehouse with the locked door. Forget the locked door; that's not the intended entry point.

Follow these steps to infiltrate the warehouse:

1. Circumvent the warehouse to the left, ascending the orange stairs to reach stacked boxes.
2. Utilize the boxes to leap over the containers to your right, progressing to the next container cluster.
3. From this position, jump over the crane on your right, continuing past it to its end.
4. Descend onto the containers below and follow a winding path until you discover a rear entrance to the warehouse.

Navigating the Interior

Inside, be cautious of trip mines obstructing the path to the Stash. Carefully disarm these hazards as you advance towards the front of the warehouse.

Retrieving the Loot and Exiting

The Tamper-Proof Stash, a large, already unlocked safe, awaits at the warehouse's front. Gather the valuable ammunition, medkits, and consumables within.

To exit, locate the power panel near the locked door. Head right from the panel, moving further down the warehouse until you find a generator amidst some boxes. Activate the generator to restore power. Return to the power panel and flip the switch to unlock the door, allowing your escape.
