The Arena in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl offers players an intense gauntlet experience where they can battle through five increasingly challenging rounds. Participants will not have access to their personal inventory; instead, they will be equipped with specific weapons for each round. Successful completion of this challenge rewards players with valuable coupons and a unique weapon. Let’s explore how to locate the Arena and the specifics of each round.
Locating the Arena in Stalker 2
The Arena can be found at the Rostok base, situated to the west of Slag Heap. Look for a prominent Arena sign in Russian on the door leading to the Rostok base bar. Upon entering, speak with the barkeeper, Ganja, who will initiate the “Freedom Colosseum”side mission.
After your conversation with Ganja, proceed to the door on the right side of the bar that grants access to the underground Arena. Before you start the rounds, engage with Arnie on the observation deck to kick off the challenges. After this, descend to the next level to meet Wheezer, who will take your gear and provide you with the designated weapon for the Arena rounds.
At the conclusion of each round, don’t forget to reclaim your weapons from the blue safe located next to the staircase.
