[@dinopuac7063]

Best start is on the end of thet starting intro in game, before placing 3 scanner. In same jard are 2 safe (stash) find them but don't pick up anything....divide and put all your gear inside stash. Go do main mission and after you get robbed go pick up your stuff 😅😅 2 vipers 4 aku on 100% durability on starting game.

[@youlostthedebate]

[@jooseppielleese7156]

you can keep the ar and akm if you put them in the stalker stash on the boat in the docks just before that part

[@lmaoo1107]

Did this and got to keep the full durability M4 and AKM as well as 2 full AK74u plus my ammo and scientific med kits

[@MarakMocam]

I really appreciate this so here are a few things for you (these are things I discovered while playing): Yes, I got hit with some bugs & had to start over a few times so learned a few things about the start of the game. 1) You can keep all the 'intro' stuff (High-Quality guns, meds, etc.) which are lost when you are ambushed. * Before setting up the last scanner, simply step over to the dead guy in the back stall and drop everything you want to keep. It will be there after you are ambushed and return. 2) There are 2 safe stashes at that building area - go outside the door facing where the scanner was, turn left, turn left again around the corner, then climb through the window to get to the safe in the locked room with the junk blocking the door - there's some other stuff on shelves in there too. Next, near the anomaly blocking the path, right side while facing it, there is a garage - go inside, go to the back left corner room, there is another safe stash spot. 3) If you don't 'exhaust his dialog' you can still visit the quest giver and he will have you go rescue his friend without bringing him the med kits. (I didn't know he could give you the med kit quest. Thanks 😁) 4) The anomalies are RARELY fixed types but from a pool/set of them. The 'ball' bubble one is a set type. So the anomaly in the cave, after the rescue, can be one of a few different low-level types.

[@MrStoffzor]

Damn I wish I thought of stashing all those 100% weapons!

[@canadianjoker5033]

@@MrStoffzor - Apparently they patched this so that the two best guns disappear. I was able to keep everything else, except the scanner, as it would not let me put it in the safe.😐

[@midnightperfectworld]

[@jloki9259]

@@canadianjoker5033 You don't even have to put it in the "safe". I stashed everything behind a water tank and retrieved it later. Playing on Xbox Series X I was able to keep every gun I stashed, including the AK-74 and the HK 416 (though I haven't used the 416 much due to a lack of ammo).

[@jloki9259]

@@MrStoffzor If you aren't too far into the game (still in the Lesser Zone) it's worth it to start over and stash all your stuff. It makes the early game much more enjoyable, and you can actually afford to fix some of the good weapons you find early like the "Dragunov" SVD. I started over just because I felt like I was getting nowhere and took a chance stashing my stuff not being sure it would work, but it did👌(doesn't have to be in the "safe" I just stashed it behind a water tank near the first tower).

[@rocketmagnet427]

Before you put down the scanner for the 3rd time, climb in the window where the safe is and stash all your gear. You lose the poly ak and hk16 but keep the ak74u's. That's the best start. Seen its already been mentioned

[@markbbullock8830]

man wish i would of read this before starting the game

[@Shuseff]

You can avoid losing the guns other than the m4 by dropping them on the ground in front of the safe. Only lost the m4 and kept the Ak 47 AND 74’s lol plus all my gear

[@partcyborg]

@@Shuseff I dropped all my stuff in the building next to the anomaly spot and everything stayed except my guns. Wish I had kept my guns but having all the health/food items still helps

[@jloki9259]

You don't actually have to stash it in the safe (on Xbox series X, anyway). I just stashed everything on the ground behind the nearby water tank. When I came back to retrieve it, all of it was there including the AK-74 and 416. I hear you lose the AK-74 and 416 playing on computer, though.

[@samuelkahui4573]

You can put all your gear in the safe/stash in the building at the final scan point before scanning so you can keep ar416 and anything else you picked up on the way. Just make sure you do it before interacting with the final/3rd scan point.

[@willrobinson4859]

This did not work for me. All except my guns (I stored 3) were there. Weird. TBH it was not hard to get other good guns (especially using the guide)

[@filypefx]

Also, some old saying from classic stalker, "stashs are one of the best tools of a stalker", sadly I dont think we will get some gadget to make our own stashs (aside from mods), but on start, you can hal everything you get in your way to one of the stashs by the last scanner zone, and dump things there, get later, profit.

[@tenchu876]

just an FYI if you loot all of the prologue for gear, once you get to the cabin at the end (where this guide starts) you can drop everything not story related and then activate the scanner. doing so allows you to go and recollect all the dropped items after you follow Richter back up there. sidenote I did this in the locked room with the big safe, just note some stuff might fall through the floor in there is too much

[@devlaminckx3382]

A small spoiler to keep most of your starting gear... don't read further if you don't want to know... Here it comes: Before you activate your 3rd emission during your first mission, stash all your stuff in the safe near the 3rd emission. Than let the game play out where you lose all your gear. Go to the safe and you can recover most of your gear in it except the AR and another (I don't remember which).

[@jloki9259]

SPOILER ALERT!!!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!!! I was able to stash all my gear and weapons keeping a Boomstick and my pistol.

Valuable weapons near 100% condition to trade or sell, too.

[@MrCrackopoff]

did most of this in my first hours as well. However, i would argue that the 3 bullet burst are better than single bullets with the viper. Most of the time, you can get 3 headshots in one shoot killing most humans in 1 burst. Just make sure to aim well and the 3 burst is amazing. All other weapons that only have auto and single i would agree with you that single bullets are better in 90% of the time.

In the room that triggers the rats, in one of the corners of the room there is a stash that has most of the loot in it. Also, the rats will respawn again if you try to climb the ladder, kill them with a grenade and then go back down. But that will buy you time to get any loot you missed.
