Where to Find and Play the Guitar in Stalker 2?

Find the Guitar

The guitar is located in a specific building near the Trader. If you’re navigating the in-game map, zoom in on the building that houses the Trader’s setup. Inside, the guitar typically rests on a bed. While it’s a straightforward find, the surrounding environment may distract you with ambient noise or other items of interest.

Play the Guitar

  1. Open your item wheel by scrolling down with the mouse or using the assigned controller button.
  2. Highlight the guitar (located near the bolt) and select it.
  3. Press the right trigger or the assigned action button to equip the guitar. This can be finicky; ensure you press firmly or adjust your controller settings if needed.
  4. Once equipped, your character sits down, and a menu appears showing chord options. Use the left trigger or other assigned keys to experiment with different chord progressions.
  5. While you don’t need musical expertise, trial and error can produce some surprisingly melodic tunes.

In-Game Use and Immersion

The guitar adds a layer of realism to the atmospheric setting of Heart of Chornobyl. Much like in previous games, its presence ties into the survivalist and communal nature of the Zone. Players can enjoy strumming while exploring the dynamic and immersive world​.
