Stalcraft: How to Get a Metal Detector
Stalcraft entails searching the Zone for supplies such as ammunition, food, and building materials. Metal detectors are essential for finding some of these rare resources, such as aluminium and copper. We’ll show you the several routes you might use to get a metal detector in Stalcraft.
Stalcraft: How to Get a Metal Detector
The SN-1u Mini-Pancake and the SN-2u Leglet are both metal detectors available in Stalcraft. In terms of objective superiority, the SN-2u Leglet wins out, however we’ll provide information on both options.
You may trade for an SN-1u Mini-Pancake in either the Photon-2 or the Garages, two locations frequented by different factions. Get yourself to the Garages if you’re a Stalker, or proceed to Photon-2 if you’re a Bandit.
In a pinch, the SN-1u Mini-Pancake will do, but if you can spare the extra Rubles, go with the SN-2u Leglet instead. It’s better and it’s free! The metal detector comes with a screen that makes pinpointing caches significantly easier.
The SN-2u Metal Detector is a required tool that may be obtained early on in the main quest and cannot be missed. Junkman offers you the task of searching the Dump with a metal detector—one that he provides and lets you keep—when he sends you there to have a chat.
