Stalker 2 mission list – main and side quests

Stalker 2 is stacked to the rafters with missions to guide you through the perilous Chornobyl Exclusion Zone’s many unique regions. In keeping with video game convention, Stalker 2’s missions are compartmentalised into main and side mission formats, one focusing on the overarching narrative and the other on optional side stories that delve into the more granular aspects of survival in this harsh post-apocalyptic wasteland. In this guide, you’ll find a Stalker 2 mission list, including links to walkthrough for particularly challenging missions.

With Stalker 2 offering over 100 hours of content, we’re still making our way through the Zone, discovering everything it has to offer. For that reason, our list is currently incomplete, but we’ll be jumping back in regularly to update it as we take on new missions.
