Call of Pripyat Tool Locations (With Bonus Artifact Guide)

This guide shows you were to find every tool in "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat" plus an extra artifact guide to help you find and judge artifacts.

Introduction

In this guide, the location of each set of tools is described, as well as a basic artifact guide.

Basic Tools in Zaton

The basic tools in Zaton are located at the Sawmill. The area is heavily populated with zombies, so if you would like to salvage their items, I would recomend bringing a few Hercules to extend your maximum weight load. It is also possible to sneak into the area and use a silenced weapon to eliminate any enemies you encounter without alerting all of the others. At the Sawmill, there will be a house next to the main storage barn. There will be a ladder inside which will bring you to the attic which contains the basic tools at the end on a table, and other various items of value by the crates.

Fine Tools in Zaton

The fine tools in Zaton are located at the Substation Workshops. Before you go to the workshops, bring atleast 6 food items because as soon as you arive in the general area of the front entrance, a mercenary will open a dialogue box explaining he needs food in order to let you in. Do not attack him or anyone else as the tools will disapear. Once you give him the food, continue to the end until you see a mercenary sitting on a box, which the tools for fine work will be located next to him.

Basic Tools in Yanov

The basic tools in Yanov are located under a bridge with train cars under it, specificly the train car with a moving electric anomaly in it. Jump off the bridge onto the top of the train car and enter it through a top hatch. At the end there will be the tools to your left on the seats. To pass the electric anomaly, move into the little crevices between train cars. The alternate way is to just run through it, but you would loose a bit of health.

Fine Tools in Yanov

The fine tools in Yanov are located at the Jupiter Plant. Next to the main part of the plant on the bottem left corner there will be a little workshop. When you enter, go up the stairs on the left into an attic with a large number of electric anomolies. At the end there will be a green metal cabinet which will contain the tools. The attic also will contain some artifacts, including the Battery (the artifact, not the item) so bring a decent detector.

Calibration Tools in Pripyat

The first set of calibration tools in Pripyat will be located at the Department Store. When you enter, go behind the main desk and open the door. Inside there will be a large number of Hamsters, so carrying a shotgun would be recomended. There is a maze of doors as you enter so try to get through as best you can. When you get to a room with stairs going to a basement, go down the stairs and on a table will be the set of tools.

The second set of calibration tools are located at the Old Service Center. Once you get there, you must travel through and find a doorway boarded up with two boards across it. Just knife or shoot the boards to destroy them, but there will be electric anomalies behind the doorway. Continue on until there is a second doorway with a single board across it, which you can destroy the same way as before. Keep going until you are in a hallway, and take a left where there is another doorway with a large board on it. Crouch under it then pass through a shower room with a large hole in the wall. Continue through the hole and then go through yet another doorway with a light under it after you pass through it. Go up the stairs and continue through a final glass doorway (there's a lot of doorways) into a room with a mutated dwarf in it. Once he's dead go through a closet with a light in it and a shelf behind a box. The tools will be located on the shelf, as well as some ammo.

What does the "Z" stand for? In the artifact thing part.

[Erolat]

I have been trying to figure out the notation for the artifacts but have had no luck. Can anyone help?

[Gatorfan]

Hi! Sorry for the bit late of a response. Try:
1. Crouch + walking
2. Crouch + shift (like the shift button and the crouch button)
3. Check for "Low Crouch" under controls

STALKER has both a "crouch" and a "low crouch", which is kinda weird and confusing, but hopefully you should be able to get to "low crouch" with one of these solutions.

Good luck, and thanks for the feedback/question!

[glevesque1]

The Fine tools in Yanov can be difficult, if not impossible to get to, because I'm having trouble getting the crouch command to let me under the large pipe ! I've played this years ago before I lost my install during a Windows update, and I never had this problem ! The crouch command also kept me from getting to a stash in Zaton (actually got stuck my first try, it let me get in, then wouldn't let me get back out !). Crappy crouch command is really bad news. Has anyone else had this problem?

[Gatorfan]

No problem, NDG! I appreciate the kind words, and I’m happy my guide still has use to people! If you have any suggestions for improvement, I’m always open! Thanks again.

[MattArgo]

Thank you, Gatorfan. I wish I had seen your Oasis guide before I figured it out the hard way! The tool locations are great and the various artifact descriptions are very helpful in showing how they can be most helpful.

[Gatorfan]

Also, thank you for the feedback!

[Gatorfan]

I don’t believe there’s anything in the department store, except the tools. In the basement, however (which is another way to get in) there may be artifacts since it is anomalous.

[devnull577]

I just realised, what is in the locked pantry in the department store ?

[devnull577]

thanks! this was really helpful, I can finaly upgrade my exosuit beyond just the first collum
