How to get the debut outfit early

For those who want to get nice armor a little earlier Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobylyou can search and find the debut costume sooner than you might expect. There are two main ways to find it quickly, although one costs much less than the other. There is also a third possible way, what will happen naturally when completing the game. With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about the Debut Suit and where to find it quickly.

Despite some characteristics Stalker 2 being broken, the the game is a beast in size and difficulty This makes it rewarding to achieve. It’s also a vast world to explore, with many different areas in the Zone filled with varying levels of difficulty. As you try to find a way out and get the answers you need, you will need the additional protection of armor. The first piece of better armor you get isn’t far away; you should also know how to take advantage of it.

Option #1, the merchant

Hamster the merchant is the first way to get the Debut Suit quickly, which is guaranteed. Theoretically, you can get it as soon as you enter Zalissya, when you find the merchant with the help of an NPC, or on your own while exploring. It is one of the most prominent items in the Hamster’s inventory. The problem is the price, because if you expect to get it quickly, Hamster will only sell it to you for 13,500 coupons or an equivalent trade.

This is equivalent to highway robbery in the first few hours of the game, as you won’t have much value to sell, even if you helped Gloomy in Stalker 2 on your way to the settlement. If you want the Debut Suit this way, you’ll probably have to do some missions to earn money. After unloading them, sell any weapon you can and keep the main ones you want. Sell ​​any junk as well and then talk to people in Zalissya for side quests.

There is one in the room, although I recommend staying away from Poppy Fields until you have more knowledge and supplies. Also, a man is asking about hunting packs of dogs, and both the bartender Warlock and Lens the Tech have side quests for you that will give you a nice chunk of change.

None of these missions are as difficult as the later options (except Poppy Fields), so you can feel pretty confident going into them to get the coupons for a debut outfit. Even though this may not be enough, It’s best not to count this as your first Debut Suit in the game.

Option #2: The Old Mill

East of Zalissya there is a place known as the Old Mill. It’s not far, so players shouldn’t have much trouble finding it. There are several houses in the area; you will look for an intelligenceh breakable boards on the front door. It is the house marked by the player’s green arrow on the map in the photos above. You can use your knife to break the boards and enter the house.

Once inside the house, go all the way, as the room with the item is in the back. The Debut Suit should be on a table waiting to be picked up and equipped. Don’t forget to return to Zalissya to upgrade your new armor and sell that leather jacket!

Option #3: Find Squinty and return the infirmary sensors

Alternatively, if you rush through the main storyline, you can find them faster and cheaper. When you arrive at Zalissya, you can choose to help Richter or Wing Captain Zotov to obtain the necessary information about Solder. In this case, I chose to help Zotov and received a Debut Suit for it.

I would also recommend, however, at least talking to both parties and using Richter’s plan to find Squint, as it is a little safer, and there are, overall, far fewer shots. You may also want to keep any coupons you earn, as you may have to use them to bribe someone in Zotov’s mission if you want to avoid a rather difficult fight at this stage of the game.

Once you have the sensors in hand, whether or not you choose to help Squint, you must return to Zotov and give him the sensors. Once you do this, you can convince him of your innocence by telling him that he has no proof that you did this and that Solder’s men betrayed you both. This will take you at the door of the Sphere in the next mission, but also get a debut costume and a new helmet.

These are the three main places you can find the Debut Suit early on Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Once you get it, you will be able to enjoy a significant improvement in your stats and survivability in the game.
