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

This overgrown clearing, known among stalkers as "Rustpatch Hollow," lies just beyond the tree line near Yantar. Once used as an improvised construction or supply zone, it’s now littered with the rusting shell of a van, broken concrete slabs, and half-buried barrels. Faint traces of old campfires mark it as a past resting spot—though few linger here long now. Veterans warn of strange readings on detectors around this area, hinting at buried anomalies or subtle emissions seeping from the ground. It's quiet—too quiet—and seasoned stalkers say the silence here isn’t peace, it’s a warning. Despite the junk and foliage, some scavengers come looking for hidden stashes or artifact traces. Most leave with nothing but unease. Some don’t leave at all.
