Stalker 2 doesn’t like to tell you where to go. Besides mission markers, the map is surprisingly sparse, devoid of icons and collectibles, encouraging you to explore and find almost everything yourself. However, in the early game, you can feel incredibly underpowered at times and often like you're wandering aimlessly. That's why I've put together a list of some of the key places to go and things to do early on.
This list covers some initial story locations you should visit, as well as some side areas that hold valuable loot that you should grab as soon as you can.
