There are many stashes with a lot of different gear scattered throughout the Zone in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, the newest survival RPG shooter from GSC Game World, and finding them all will make you much more capable of surviving in the Zone's harsh conditions.
Some stashes contain only basic items, like ammo, medkits, and sometimes weapons, but usually of poor quality. However, if you trigger the specific side quest called "Seek, and you shall find," you'll have special kinds of stashes that contain all sorts of high-quality gear ranging from top-quality suits, weapon attachments, and unique weapons.
To trigger this quest, you'll have to meet certain requirements, and if you're interested in what you need to do to be able to loot the best stashes in the game, we have the answer for you in this guide.
How to trigger the Journalist's Stashes side quest
As we've mentioned earlier, to trigger this quest, you'll have to meet certain requirements, and the most important of them is to own the Ultimate Edition of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Yes, you've heard right, all the bonus content in the game isn't given like in many other games as gifts when you start the game.
To get all this shiny equipment, you'll need to search for a bit and even solve some very interesting puzzles and mysteries. If you're, for instance, playing the Game Pass edition and you keep hearing about Jounalist Stashes and the gear they contain, sadly, we must inform you that this little benefit isn't for you.
If, however, you have Ultimate Edition, you can trigger this quest after finishing the mane quest "A Needle in a Haystack." Regardless of your choices about which fraction you side with, after finishing this quest, simply go to your stash in Hamster's trading post in Zalissya and pick up the flash drive from it.
Once you do that, you'll be able to listen to the voice message left for you by a journalist who once was in the Zone and left much gear for you to pick up. After this message, all stashes will appear on your map, and you'll be able to loot them at your leisure.
