HOW TO SURVIVE THE ZONE
A guide for new stalkers
☢️ PERMADEATH WARNING
This is a hardcore permadeath game. When your character dies, you lose everything: your gear, reputation, artifacts, and progress. You must create a new character and start from scratch. Choose your actions wisely, stalker.
FACTION SYSTEM
Choose from 7 factions: Duty, Freedom, Monolith, Loners, Bandits, Military, or Ecologists. Each faction has unique quests, allies, and enemies. Your faction choice defines your path in the Zone.
ARTIFACT HUNTING
Explore dangerous anomalies to find rare artifacts. These valuable items provide powerful bonuses and can be sold for rubles. High risk, high reward.
PvP COMBAT
Engage in faction warfare. Fight rival factions for territory and resources. But beware: kill a member of your own faction, and you'll have a bounty on your head from all factions.
EXPLORATION
Travel through iconic Zone locations. Complete quests, hunt mutants, discover hidden stashes, and uncover the Zone's mysteries. Every journey could be your last.
