S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Zone of the Chernobyl

Located in the outskirts of the Military checkpoint at the entrance of the Cordon, the Rookie village is the starting point for a large number of rookie stalkers in the Zone. The location itself is situated in a small hamlet of seven houses, with Sidorovich's bunker a few meters west of the last building. Some of the abandoned houses, as well as underground areas, have been repurposed by the stalkers as shelters. A stalker named Wolf acts as a leader and mentor among the rookies This location will serve as initial base of operations. Supplies can be traded with Sidorovich. Although there is a hostile Military base to the South of the village, it is generally a safe location; although one or two fleshes, boars, or dogs may charge through it on rare occasion, the Rookies are usually able to handle a lone mutant or two without too much trouble.
