This makes stashes very much like 'Items in the Open' and the reason why I've combined the two on this page. Unlike the previous games, the items contained in stashes are present from the beginning of the game, meaning that you don't actually need information about the stash to find its content. This page contains information about the stashes and items that can be found in the different areas of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
