A respirator, a gas mask, two containers with the respective handling tools and a chemical-resistant, camouflage winter suit (most of these items come from army depots).
Although this is a dangerous task, the Ecologists provided the Stalker with a number of tools in order to survive such task. Vanguard is required to travel to anomalous areas in order to collect artifacts and interesting samples of local flora, so that the science team can run tests on them and make a detailed catalogue of anomalies and their impacts on the local flora. MISSION: After a few hard months on the outskirts of the Zone, the free stalker Vanguard has finally had a stroke of luck: he signed a hard but fair contract with the Ecologists.
