Mastiff’s Group Location: The Lost Boys Mission Walkthrough in Stalker 2

In STALKER 2, players have the opportunity to engage in numerous side quests that can yield extra earnings. To participate, approach the relevant NPC, interact with them, and accept the mission presented. One of the compelling side quests available is titled The Lost Boys, featuring a technician named Lens.

You can locate Lens in Zalissya, situated in the Lesser Zone region. Initiate a conversation with him to learn about potential job opportunities. Lens reveals that a group of diggers has gone missing, which raises his suspicions that something may have gone awry. Your primary objective is to investigate the fate of Mastiff’s team.

Completing The Lost Boys Quest

Mastiff’s group consists of four individuals: Max Saturday, Bedlam, Vasya Punk, and their leader, Mastiff. Upon conversing with Lens, he will provide you with the coordinates of the last known location of the group, mentioning a suspicious tunnel in that vicinity as your starting point.

Once you enter the bunker, you will come across two doors; one will be locked, so proceed through the unlocked door and take the first left into a poorly lit room.

In this room, you will encounter a fuse box. Interact with it, but note that you will require a fuse to power it up. Fortunately, a fuse can be found just outside the door.

After securing the fuse, proceed westward. The accompanying room will feature electrical anomalies. Use a bolt to trigger and safely navigate through these hazards.
