Description

Adik Pedal’s Key

This weathered metal key opens the door to the administrative building at the Fish Farm, where Adik Pedal held stalkers captive.

Alex Moose’s PDA

Found on a dead body by the Elevator, this PDA mentions a job from Sidorovich that the owner will never be able to complete. Guess I could take advantage of this and make some coupons.

Altered Toast

A piece of toast, warm and hard to the touch. Its extraordinary properties can only be felt by those feeling other’s hardships like their own. For everyone else, it’s just an inedible slice of stale bread.

Angry Stalker’s PDA

The state of this PDA implies that its owner had some serious anger management issues. Or maybe someone really got under his skin.

Archive of Files on C-Consciousness Agents

Arkhyp Lichen’s PDA

The lack of concern shown by this PDA ’sowner implies that buying a replacement was likely not a problem for him.

Artyom Submariner’s PDA

Assembly Hall Key

Unlocks the old assembly hall located on the school’s second floor.

The key to the back room in the Cryptobiology Lab, kept by a lab technician who hid in a cage to escape rampaging mutants.

Beard’s PDA

Sporting numerous well-worn stickers on the back panel, this aged PDA apparently sees little downtime.

Bloodstained Note

A note on a piece of paper smeared with dried blood. Looks like whoever took down Owl’s agent isn’t stopping anytime soon.

Bloodstained PDA

The fate of this PDA ’sowner is probably best left a mystery. Sometimes a good night’s sleep without any nightmares is more valuable than any loot.

Blue Key Card

This old blue key card is a bit scratched, but the magnetic strip seems to be intact. It should probably still work.

Bluish’s PDA

The device contains a single recording, seemingly made right before the Signal.

Bobcat’s PDA

Found in the catacombs beneath the Slag Heap, this PDA serves as a reminder to think twice before crossing its former owner.

Boss’s PDA

This PDA belonging to a gang leader contains messages exchanged with a Duty member who has been leaking information about Freedom’s plans. It seems someone has discovered a loophole in the treaty.

A PDA belonging to a stalker slain by mutants in the Lesser Zone. Like many rookies, he had big plans for the future. But, as the saying goes, “a stalker proposes, the Zone disposes.”

Broken M-PDA

A PDA formerly used by Monolith soldiers, now broken beyond repair.

Broken Psi Installation

A device resembling a lamp. It was a powerful source of psi-radiation, so I had to break it.

Bromine’s PDA

In his final exchange, Bromine boasts that he’s about to get his hands on the scientists’ stash as long as he can find the “corpse with the password.” It looks like the “corpse with the password” found him first.

Bubbs’s PDA

This PDA was owned by Bubbs. He owed money to the Shah, so he went into an anomaly to secure an artifact and died there. By the standards of those indebted to the Shah, he got off easy.

Bunker Key Card

Grants entry to the Mobile Bunkers.

Bustler’s PDA

The messages stored on this PDA discuss a scheme to mine artifacts using other people’s labor. A neglected anomaly beneath the base has ignited the bandits’ “entrepreneurial spirit.”

Captain Sukhin’s PDA

Article image

Chornozem’s PDA

A shabby PDA taken from Chornozem’s shoulder bag.

Classified Report

A report on a sheet of 8x12 paper. Given the illegible handwriting, its author was likely a medic.

Columbus’s PDA

Columbus’s PDA , found near the Vehicle Graveyard. Given the high radiation levels, his nearby stash should have been almost inaccessible. However, his ploy worked even better than intended: the Stalker himself succumbed to radiation poisoning. The Zone proves once again to be a dangerous and fickle ally.

Communication Session Recordings

These are protocols of communication sessions from the time when C-Consciousness was still active. They were recorded using the setup in Kalancha’s laboratory, which continued to operate in autonomous mode.

Cpt. Hromovyi’s Note

Found by the Cage at the Cement Factory, this note lists the names of Hromovyi’s comrades-in-arms who fell during the First Raid – a time when Duty had yet to be established, and the captain held a rank far beneath his current stature.

Crest’s PDA

This PDA contains a diary in whichCrestdocuments his plan for revenge. The stalker was racing against time, striving to realize his plan before he succumbed to radiation sickness. Found on the stalker’s corpse in the Kindergarten.

Crystal Thorn

An artifact that came out of Professor Dvupalov’s moonshine still.

Curly’s PDA

A PDA belonging to a Sparker who set up an ambush at the X5 exit. The stalker wanted to seize Korshunov’s badge to sabotage the Ward, but the attempt ended in failure.

Danya Move’s PDA

Trying to juggle numerous tasks at once, this device’s owner occasionally forgets about certain things. In this case, he left his PDA behind without even noticing.

A PDA belonging to the stalker held captive by Zakhar Babay’s thugs. Seduced by the promise of easy coupons, he ended up getting his ass kicked.

Dead Sparker’s PDA

A PDA belonging to a dead Sparker found near the checkpoint at the bridge in the Red Forest. It contains information about a mission given by Ozersky.

Dead Sparker’s PDA from the Prometheus

A PDA showing signs of damage after a pitched battle with mutants. It contains coordinates for the locations where Spark’s main force could be heading with the scanned archive in tow.

The device is coated in dirt and blood, much like its lifeless owner. Whatever this stalker was looking for at the Cordon, it certainly wasn’t a bullet.

Dead Warden’s PDA from the Prometheus

A PDA showing signs of damage from an encounter with mutants. It contains coordinates for the locations where the Ward’s main force could be heading with the recovered documents in tow.

This electronic lockpick seems capable of unlocking the door to the abandoned science lab in the Cordon.

A document containing Desyatov’s formal request for transfer. Evidently, it’s tough to work under someone you don’t get along with.

Desyatov’s Voice Recorder

Device Instructions

A sheet of paper with instructions for the device. Looks like it was used as a coaster.

Digger’s IOU

Sounds like the author of this note screwed up big time in front of his own buddies. Luckily, his partners agreed to wait for the debt to be repaid. In the Zone, issues like this are usually settled on the spot.

Dima Hotshot’s PDA

A PDA belonging to Dima Hotshot, a stalker who died near the school in the Burnt Forest. His search for the legendary Hermit’s stash was cut short by a mutant encounter. The Zone fiercely guards some of its most coveted secrets.

There isn’t a scratch or a speck to be found on this PDA . The owner meticulously wipes the device with alcohol on a daily basis.

This PDA didn’t get a single scratch during many years of heavy use, but now there’s a big crack across the device’s surface.

The professor’s pocket voice recorder, containing Dvupalov’s sessions with his test subject. The device was left abandoned in the cell – more of a cage, really.

Echo Detector

With outdated electronic components and subpar usability, this basic artifact detector is only redeemed by its very modest price.

Edik the Dome’s PDA

A PDA belonging to a thug dressed as a Freedom member, probably affiliated with the Brood. He was in cahoots with Docent.

Elbow’s PDA

Fueled by an overpowering desire to regain his authority, Elbow lost his marbles and decided to face the challenge alone, without any support. It could only have ended badly.

Electronic Collar

A collar-shaped electronic device with inner metal electrodes designed to make direct contact with the wearer’s neck.

Electronic Collar #1

Stained with dried blood on the inside and scratched on the outside, this massive electronic collar must have been uncomfortably tight for an adult specimen, so the mutant tried to peel it off.

Electronic Collar #2

This collar appears brand new except for the partially destroyed tag. What little remains legible reads “Test sub…”

Electronic Collar #3

A metal device showing minor damage, as if it had been grazed by a bullet fired at the mutant.

The device used to transmit the Signal. Despite its compact size, the radiation it releases is so intense that conventional psi-defenses are unable to counteract it.

Article image

Empty Flash Drive

A flash drive found on Lefty’s body, marked “Property of STC Malachite. Please return to Viktoria Dorozhnyuk.” Lefty was apparently assigned to record the psi-radiation measurements on the drive.

Explosives for the Duga

A container packed with high-powered military explosives.

Fair’s PDA

A Monolithian’s PDA containing a recording of Faust’s sermon. Even in death, the shepherd continues to lead his flock.

Filimon’s PDA

A traditional portable USB drive, widely used to store information – even in the Zone.

Flash Drive (Blue)

Flash Drive (Red)

Flash Drive from the Laundromat

An aged and partially damaged flash drive. Despite its appearance, it still works, preserving confidential data on Operation Fairway.

Freedom PDA

A pocket personal computer, version 2.0. In the Zone, it functions as a navigation tool, notebook, communication device, and voice recorder. This one was owned by a Freedom member.

Gas Can of Industrial Alcohol

A tightly sealed gas can with a pungent aroma of industrial alcohol.

Gena Hackman’s PDA

A PDA belonging to a stalker who was paying his respects to his partner and mentor Tolik at the Cherevach village cemetery. Apparently this Tolik guy had some kind of history with the legendary Strelok. Unfortunately, anomalies don’t discriminate based on who you are or who you know.

Glasgow’s PDA

A PDA taken from Glasgow’s corpse. After locking himself up, the stalker continued calling for help, only to realize that the dead man behind the door was his friend. Stumbling upon a fat stash, getting wasted, turning away a man seeking help during an Emission – this story could only have ended up badly. The Zone has punished people for far less.

Gloomy’s PDA

This PDA belonged to a stalker who was taken captive by bandits. The device’s condition indicates that it suffered nearly as much as its owner.

Goodwin’s PDA

A PDA belonging to Goodwin, found in the Yantar underground. It contains records of a stalker’s unsuccessful bid to save a partner who turned into a zombie. As the saying goes, hope is the first step on the road to disappointment, but in this case, disappointment was just the beginning.

An old key card, once the property of Lt. Col. Korshunov. It grants the highest level of clearance, which is necessary to enter Lab X7.

Gray’s PDA

A bloodstained PDA belonging to a stalker called Gray, found in a clearing in the Red Forest. Recovering it was easier than expected.

Hamster’s PDA

This PDA is seldom quiet. Its owner is constantly barraged with job offers - or calls expressing a lack of interest.

Harpy’s PDA

Despite having seen its share of repairs, this PDA is in excellent working condition. Its owner clearly has a knack for technology and is in no rush to retire the device.

Headlight’s PDA

The PDA of a stalker with the soul of a poet who cherished the Zone’s unique beauty. But even here, death is still horrible – Headlight can attest to that.

Heart of Chernobyl

An incredibly rare, almost mythical artifact that functions as a psi-radiation amplifier. The degree of amplification depends on the characteristics and individual capabilities of the source. Its properties are still not fully understood, with the comprehensive range of parameters yet unknown. Presumed to encapsulate the original structure of the Zone’s matter.

A dull metal key with the barely visible number “-1” scratched into its surface.

A device for decrypting messages on old Monolith PDA s. Requires a connection to Azimuth Station. This model has been phased out.

Insulated Container

The gaps in the container are securely insulated, but it’s still giving off a little radiation. There must be an artifact in there.

IOU to Sonya Kalina

The uneven handwriting on the paper betrays the author’s nervous state. On the other hand, the notation at the bottom looks like it was written in a steady, confident hand.

A pocket personal computer, version 2.0. In the Zone, it functions as a navigation tool, notebook, communication device, and voice recorder. This one was owned by an IPSF soldier.

IPSF Soldier’s PDA

Despite showing signs of damage, the device is still operational.

Jarl’s PDA

A somewhat battered PDA . It must have endured some tough times during its owner’s last stand.

This PDA was retrieved by a stalker who found Jolly Azat’s corpse at the Ribs. It’s not much, but it’s better than disappearing into an anomaly forever.

Jumper’s PDA

A PDA belonging to Jumper, a Noontider from the waste processing station. He put his life on the line to rescue his partner, but the Zone doesn’t always reward the brave.

Karim Cyclops’s PDA

A PDA belonging to a bandit who was undone by his own greed. He thought he’d earn some extra coupons for killing more Noontiders, but all he got was a bullet.

Khors’s PDA

A PDA belonging to the Noontide technician. It looks like it was just unboxed yesterday. Khors was meticulous about everything.

A PDA belonging to a dead stalker containing a conversation with some unknown person. There’s a chance that this stranger might have had a role in the owner’s death.

Kiryukha Titun’s PDA

An old PDA found near the Ribs. It doesn’t seem like anyone was especially broken up about the owner’s death.

Kolya Atas’s PDA

A PDA found near the Hydroelectric Station. The conversation inside discusses a stash prepared for some bandits by a Warden. Looks like even the group known for imposing its law on the rest of the Zone has its own issues.

Kolya Green’s PDA

Damaged during the battle with Monolith, this PDA contains a recording that sheds light on the reasons behind the stalker’s desperate act.

Kostas’s PDA

A soldier’s PDA containing an audio recording. Seeking refuge in the school after Monolith seized the Duga, the group stumbled upon a deadly menace within. For Kostas, it was the last straw.

Kryvenko’s Flash Drive

A blank high-speed storage device designed exclusively for use on SIRCAA equipment.

Kryvenko’s Flash Drive with Data

A high-speed storage device designed exclusively for use on SIRCAA equipment. Any attempt to connect it to third-party devices will result in the destruction of the data.

Kubrak’s PDA

This PDA is pristine, without a single scratch on it. The device is either brand new, or its owner took exceptionally good care of it.

Kuprienko’s PDA

This brand-new PDA contains negotiations between an STC Malachite employee and a stalker. Obtaining coupons from scientists is clearly no easy feat for a loner.

Kuzya’s PDA

A PDA belonging to Kuzya, a bandit with a knack for fleecing “rich suckers” from Rostok. In the messages, he flaunts his lavish lifestyle and urges his buddy to join his venture, contributing to a shared stash at specified coordinates. In the Zone, survival comes first, but once you’ve survived, it’s time to turn a profit.

Kvashka’s PDA

A PDA recovered from the body of the late Noontider Kvashka. Though it doesn’t explain the reasons behind his self-sacrifice, it does capture the final moments of his existence.

Leshy’s PDA

A PDA belonging to a bandit called Leshy, who was hiding at the Supply Depot. Looks like he overestimated himself and turned from hunter to prey. Well, should’ve prepared better to take on the kingpin.

Letter to Prof. Chubko

Classified documents found in Lab X5. The laboratory apparently continued to operate under the direction of MOST after it was officially closed.

Lex the Legend’s PDA

A PDA belonging to the commander of the Ward’s Bravo Team, containing a distress signal from Echo Station along with its coordinates.

Mykha Cowboy’s PDA

This PDA of a lone stalker stores a chat with a mercenary. The latter is ready to tell him who sold the weapon stash to the bandits and got Cowboy’s friends into trouble. Of course, in the Zone, any information has a price, but Mykha is ready to give up anything for a chance of revenge.

Myklukha’s Contract

One of Myklukha’s many contracts that just happened to be out in the open. Normally, he keeps them hidden from prying eyes.

A PDA taken from the body of a stalker in the southern part of the Burnt Forest. It contains an audio recording that abruptly ends with gunshots and bloodcurdling screams.

The guide’s PDA contains an exchange with someone called Sickle, along with information regarding the operation of Kalancha’s beacons. Apparently, the only way to reach the Clear Sky base involves re-calibrating them.

Nimble’s report

Zone-made vodka, distilled by a skilled chemist. It smells like strong moonshine.
