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

Once the site of an ambitious urban expansion, the Derelict Construction Yard now stands as a rusted skeleton of halted progress. A corroded crane looms overhead, frozen mid-motion, its cables swaying gently in the wind like a noose. Beneath it lies a skeletal framework of metal cages, once meant to house construction materials or perhaps livestock. Now, they serve a different purpose—holding pens for the Zone’s twisted secrets. The air is thick with tension and dust. Trees have grown through cracked pavement and rebar, reclaiming the site in nature’s slow, merciless way. Feral dogs and pseudodogs are rumored to den here, and several stalkers report hearing echoing metal clanks long after sundown… even when the wind is still. Notable Features: Central Shed Rows: Excellent cover during firefights, but crawling with anomalies Overwatch Rooftop: Provides line of sight across the yard—ideal sniper nest Crane Platform: Reachable with some climbing; possible stash or vantage point
