Trading on Wild Island
When you arrive at Wild Island in STALKER 2, you’ll find yourself a considerable distance from both Zalyssia and the Slag Heap. This means that the journey back is not particularly enticing. Moreover, the inhabitants of Wild Island are not very welcoming and do not readily engage in trade with you. Let’s delve into the details of trading on Wild Island and uncover the whereabouts of Quiet, the Merchant NPC in STALKER 2.
How to Engage in Trade on Wild Island
Regrettably, the shops on Wild Island have strict rules prohibiting them from trading with Stalkers. This means you cannot immediately acquire their Monolith gear, even as you progress through the main quest. Before they are willing to trade with you, you must complete several side quests. While the Soldiers are available for trade, they only possess 700 Coupons each. However, some NPCs will point you in the direction of Quiet, a Trader NPC who is more than willing to engage in trade with you.
Locating Quiet in STALKER 2
To find Quiet, head directly South from the Wild Island base. Quiet has established his shop on the opposite side of the river. You’ll spot two derelict trains heading South across the river, leading the way to Quiet’s location.
You can navigate across the carriages and reach the other side, making sure to avoid drowning in the deep water. Quiet’s base and shop will be the first building on your right once you cross the trains. Inside, you can engage in trade with him just like any other Trader in the game. Alternatively, you can walk East from Zalyssia and eventually come across his base.
That covers everything you need to know about finding Quiet in STALKER 2 and how to trade with him. Additionally, you may want to explore methods to retrieve Diode, locate the Whirlwind Artifact, discover all Anomalies, and quickly acquire Coupons.
