In the immersive world of Stalker 2, traders serve as lifelines for players navigating the treacherous Zone. They facilitate essential exchanges, allowing you to trade Coupons for critical supplies such as ammunition, weapons, food, vodka, and more. While many bases in the game feature at least one trader, new players may find it puzzling that the Noontiders’ base lacks one. Fortunately, the NPC soldiers stationed there have some valuable insights—they frequently mention Quiet, an elusive trader based in the Wild Islands. This guide will assist you in locating Quiet efficiently.
Locating the Wild Island Trader in Stalker 2
Quiet can be found in the Wild Islands region, situated directly south of the Noontiders’ base. To reach him, simply head south, passing by Professor Lodochka’s bunker.
Once you arrive at the area with submerged train cars, you’ll notice some of them floating just enough for you to traverse their roofs. Prepare for a bit of parkour as you make your way across!
Your journey begins by climbing onto the first train car. From there, proceed across the roofs of the connected train cars. Midway through, you’ll have to descend and follow a path delineated by tall bushes.
Keep an eye on the water, as it is irradiated. Prolonged exposure will fill Skif’s radiation meter, putting your survival at risk—thus, it’s wise to keep moving.
Upon successfully crossing the island, look for a building on your right side. Quiet awaits within the Quiet’s Camp point of interest, eager to trade with you.
Understanding the Importance of Finding Quiet
Although the Technician at the Noontiders’ base can upgrade your equipment, his services yield minimal Coupons for selling surplus items like ammo and food. For trading items at higher values, visiting dedicated traders is optimal.
Locations such as Zalyssia and the Slag Heap offer traders, yet they are considerably distant from the Wild Islands, making travel burdensome—especially when encumbered with heavy loot. Locating Quiet is essential, as he provides competitive prices for your wares, enabling you to amass Coupons without undertaking a lengthy trek.

Quiet’s Quest: A Light at the End of the Tunnel
In Stalker 2, most NPC interactions lead to side quests, and Quiet is no different. Upon your first interaction with him, he will assign you the quest titled A Light in the End of the Tunnel.
This quest directs you to Rookie Village, where you’ll gather information regarding a missing stalker. Upon investigation, you’ll learn that the stalker is injured, leading you to an abandoned tunnel that necessitates a code (1268) for entry.
The goal of the A Light at the End of the Tunnel quest is to locate a Psi Installation. You will face a decision to disable, destroy, or retrieve it.
Once you’ve obtained the Emitter or Psi Installation device, your final objective is to return it to Sidorovich in Rookie Village. He rewards you with 2,400 Coupons for an intact Psi Installation or 1,800 Coupons if it’s damaged.
