How to redeem your pre-order bonuses in Stalker 2
The recently released Xbox-exclusive title Stalker 2 comes with a lot of pre-order bonuses for the owners of all three editions of the game — Standard, Ultimate, and Deluxe. As the game is finally out, you might wonder how and where to collect your pre-order bonuses. This guide will help you redeem your pre-order bonuses in Stalker 2.
Finding your pre-order bonuses in Stalker 2
After a long wait, fans have finally got their hands on the next Stalker game. Moreover, the developers made sure to offer some pretty solid bonuses for those who pre-ordered the game. However, collecting your bonuses in Stalker 2 is not that simple. There is no one place where you can collect all your rewards. You must play through the game and find Journalist's Stashes spread across the map.
While the locations of all of the Journalist's Stashes aren't known yet, the process of collecting your rewards from these stashes remains the same. Additionally, you need to first play through the story a little to gain access to Journalist's Stashes. Play through the main story until you've completed the quest A Needle in a Hay Stack.
Once this is done, you'll get a clue to check your Private Stash, as part of the 'Seek, and You Shall Find' side quest. This is when you'll be told about Journalist's Stashes in Stalker 2 and finally get access to them; they will all be marked on your map. Make your way to these stashes, interact with them, and collect your pre-order bonuses.
