Travel, but fast.
The map in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is massive. It’s so big that you’re definitely forgiven for wanting to fast travel across it.
No one has time to walk to and from places in a game manually – it’s bad enough that we have to do that in real life (teleportation happening when?).
Fortunately, there is a way to fast travel in Stalker 2. Unfortunately, it requires some explanation.
Before we dive into that, though, you may want to know how to unlock all safe codes in the open-world game. We’ve also got a page on its full list of achievements that’s worth a look, too!
Now, back to the matter at hand. Here’s how to fast travel in Stalker 2.
