1. Koldyba’s Pigsty Stash
Head towards the southern portion of the garbage zone. You will find the two houses. The stash is in the very back corner of the house marked on the map. Go towards the house, and you will find a person lying in front of it. This person has a PDA that will give us the information on where to find the stash.
Enter the house and turn on your flashlight. Take a left and head over to the very back of the house. You will find a few wooden boxes kept above an elevated self. Destroy the boxes, and inside, you will find a hole in the wall with wooden planks.
Destroy the planks to enter the room. Again, you will find some wooden boxes. Underneath the boxes, you will find the stash. So, destroy the wooden boxes and collect the stash. Inside this stash, there are UDP Compact, a Tactical Pistol Silencer, and other resources.
2. Secret Hiding Place Stash
Once you reach the Secret Hiding Place Stash, you will find mutant dogs, so keep your shotgun ready. Upon reaching the house, you will find it is locked. To unlock it, head towards the house behind this one. Enter the house and take a left. You will find an empty TV set. Inside the TV set, you will find the key.
Now head back to the previous house and unlock the door. Be careful; once you unlock the door, you will be attacked by a few ferocious mutant animals. After shooting them dead, head inside the house, and you will find the stash and AKM-47U. You will find high-capacity AKM-47 Magazine and other resources inside the stash.
3. Plant Location Stash
Now head towards the Plant Location. Once you reach the plant gate, go inside, and you will find a bridge walkway that we need to get on top of. But in order to gain access to that, you will need to go to the building on the right. Enter the building and take a left; you will find a ladder. Now, climb up the ladder in order to gain access to the end of the bridge. Here you will have to face Glass Shards anomalies.
For crossing the Glass Shards, crouch and move through them slowly so that it won’t cause any bleeding effect. There is an enemy at the end of the bridge, so once you reach the end, shoot him out. Here you will find a stash. Now jump down the window to your left, and here you will find an artifact, Sapphire.
4. Fence’s Goods Stash
Head towards Slag Heap. Here, you will find three stashes. Once you are there, you will find a ladder beside the building’s door. Climb up the ladder and turn left. You will see another huge ladder. Climb up, and on the right, you will find another ladder. Once you climb up and reach the terrace, take a left and jump down the broken railing.
You will land on the wooden planks again, jump down to reach the balcony, and take a right. You will find a wooden box. Climb the box and reach the ladder. Now take the ladder to climb down, and you will find the stash there. Inside the stash is a PG-4 Facehugger Gas Mask and other resources.
From the last point, take the ladder to the top and jump towards the scaffolding. Jump to the right and take the ladder. Once you climb the ladder, you will find another stash.
5. Boozer Stash
To get this stash, go to the Slag Heap at the same point where you started. Climb up the ladder beside the door and turn left. You will see another huge ladder. Climb up and walk straight. Jump over the railing onto the crane and then onto the bridge.
Take a right and move up. This area has some radiation, so you should wear radiation protection. Now climb the crane. Once you reach the tip, jump over to the tiny broken part to access the stash. Inside the stash, you will find PSO 4X Scope and other resources. To exit this area, use the same route from where you entered.
6. Hydroelectric Station Stash
Once you reach the hydroelectric plant, you find Flashbang Anomaly. The best way to deal with this is to walk carefully and not run, as it starts popping in whichever direction you are moving. So, move back quickly when you see it popping.
Now take a right from the building and you will find a tunnel. Jump inside the tunnel, and you will find a scanner inside. Run towards it before it becomes active, and turn it off. Now take a left and walk straight; you will find a ladder. Climb up the ladder and take a right. Reach the very corner of the room, and you will find the stash there. Inside the stash, you will find high-capacity M10 Magazine and other resources.
7. Secret Hiding Place
Head towards the commissary. Once you reach the building, enter from the front door. Take the stairs and head towards the room on the left. Here, you will find the stash and PSZ-7 Military Body Armour.
8. Very Safe Stash
For this stash, head towards the Northernmost point of the Garbage Region. Here, you will come across a lot of enemies. Once you have taken down the enemies, climb up the stairs of the building and walk above the railing.
Now jump to the top of the door sill, and from there, jump above the small roof. You will find the stash. Inside the stash is a blueprint for the M10 Gordon (which will give you a rubber layer) and other resources.
