| The Price Goes Up | Enter the Dig Site | The hardest of the two sites to invesitgate. At the Dig Site will be a cave that has 2 Burers that you have to kill. Once dead, you'll also have to expend 1 Medkit to heal up Kiddo (an injured NPC at the back of the cave) to gain info about the Scanner scheme. |
| Deal with the Devil | [20000] Here's your money. | TBD |
| Deal with the Devil | Any other options? | Varan tells you to kill either Shah (affiliated with Freedom) or Roosevelt (affiliated with Duty). |
| Deal with the Devil | [Attack] Or I could kill you. | You empty Varan's hideout with extreme prejudice. Allows you to loot him for his PDA and key that opens the locked room (hideout basement) that has the bodies of Nestor and one of Nestor's attackers. This is the fastest (and cheapest) way to get the Unusual PDA key item. |
| Back to Slag Heap | [Show the unusual PDA] | Showing the Unusual PDA to Dr. Dalin and Col. Korshunov (if you hadn't met them by taking Richter's side in A Needle in a Haystack) will prompt an argument between the two. However, you do get the Ward Badge from Korshunov that allows you to pass through to Wild Island as well as Camp Icarus in Zaton, later on. |
| Back to Slag Heap | [Do not show the unusual PDA] | TBD |
| Back to Slag Heap | [Show the unusual PDA] | Showing the PDA to Scar and Spark after you've already shown it to the Ward will net you a frosty reaction from both Scar and Star. |
| Back to Slag Heap | [Do not show the unusual PDA] | TBD |
| Lost Boys | I want to help you. | Dew and his gang become hostile, attacking you and the Ninth. |
| Lost Boys | [Attack] You deserve to die. | Causes The Ninth to immediately attack you. Dew and his gang will not fight you. |
Some choices in STALKER 2 will affect the ending that you get. It's been confirmed by the developers on the official STALKER Discord that there are at least 3 different endings.
It's theoretically possible to save scum these choices, but some seemingly major choices occur in the first few hours of the game with no immediate consequences, so it's likely these would affect the story's ending.
| Choices and Consequences | |
|---|---|
| Shoot or Knock Him Out? | Give the Ward Sensors to Richter or Captain Zotov? |
| Help the Ninth or Dew? | - |
