Before you open the door, you may want to take a moment to prepare for what’s inside. Once you open the door, a cat, a rat, and a dog will zip out of the building and start attacking you.
Rodents and Blind Dogs are easy to take down, so ensure you kill them first. The cat, on the other hand, is quite a bit more dangerous. Known as a Bayun, this mutated cat is a new enemy introduced in Stalker 2 that can mimic human speech and cause players to become drowsy. It can alsocause you to temporarily black out during combat, so be careful. The Bayun is very agile and deals a significant amount of damage, so you’ll want to fight it out in the open where there’s plenty of room to maneuver. Despite its small size, this enemy is much tougher than it looks and should not be underestimated.
Once you’ve dealt with all the enemies, you’ll be rewarded handsomely for your efforts. Inside the building, you’ll find anAKM-74Uin mint condition along with a bunch of ammo and consumables. In addition, you can find aHigh-Capacity AKM-74 Magazineattachment in the nearby duffle bag.
