The STALKER 2 Budmo quest is a great opportunity to find some excellent gear, but the decision on whether to steal or leave the stashes for Panas is crucial. In this guide, we’ll break down what happens if you put vodka in the stashes and how the variations play out.
There are three possible outcomes:
1. You put vodka in two stashes, and Panas will appear at the third stash, saying he’s trying to give up drinking and wants anti-radiation meds instead of alcohol. If you give him meds, he’ll pay you 1300 coupons and leave.
2. You say vodka is fine, and he’ll end up back with his friends, giving you 1300 coupons.
3. If you steal two stashes, Panas will appear at the third stash and attack you, so you’ll have to kill him.
Now, let’s talk about what’s in each of the stashes. You can find some great gear in the Concrete Block, Poisonous Hole, and Power Transmission Pylon stashes. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
STALKER 2 Budmo Concrete Block Stash:
– RNBW 2X Scope (Rhino, Integral-A, Fora-221, Kharod, Mark 1 EMR)
– M10 Gordon SMG
– Pistol Suppressor (PTM, APSB, Buket S-2, Zubr-19)
STALKER 2 Budmo Poisonous Hole Stash:
– Buket S-2 SMG
– 20 pistol ammo
– Grenade
– Optician Gas Mask
STALKER 2 Budmo Power Transmission Pylon Stash:
– HILKA detector (upgraded scanner with greater range)
– Flash arefect – weak electrical protection with weak radiation
– Moonlight artefact – medium electrical protection with medium radiation
Whether you help Panas or steal his stuff, he will always appear at the final stash you visit. If you’re stealing all the stashes, be aware that the last one will be empty and you won’t get what’s inside.
Ultimately, it’s up to you whether you want to follow the original plan or take a different approach. The gear in the stashes is worth its weight in gold, especially if you decide to sell it.
