As the saying goes, fortune is a picky lady, impossible to find or buy.

But standard rules don't work in the Zone, which means some good luck can be bought here. To do this you just need to locate a trader and purchase Eye artifact which helps to heal wounds but on top of this, as experienced s.t.a.l.k.e.r.s say, it brings fortune.
Go to the Artifacts section and read all pros and cons of the Eye before rushing to seek it.

S.t.a.l.k.e.r.s brought new interesting pictures from Pripyat and decided to show it to all people who even once were in this legendary city.
On these photos you can see "Berezka" shop, school №1, Yubileiny service center,kindergarten and also bulding 14 at Lenin avenue.

S.t.a.l.k.e.r.s.! A wave of mutants is approaching Prypiat. Everyone in the city area must leave immediately. If you do not have the opportunity to evacuate, then find shelter and wait. The military with Duty fighters are on the way, armed with brand-new "Eliminator" shotguns, designed specifically for monster extermination in enclosed spaces.

If you wish to join the mop-up operation, the slick “Eliminator” will be your best help on the mission. Find out the gun's characteristics in the Weapons section.

It's no brainer you need at least a couple first-aid kits before going to the Zone. And, of course, you better take a special military one, which includes not only medicine but also a kit to remove shrapnel and bullets from your body.

Frankly speaking, such medkit is rare but since recently it is on sale with traders at the Duty base. Hurry up, the stock is limited. Find more details about the kit in our Items section.
