The Veles detector in the Stalker game is a special device designed to search for artifacts. It differs from its closest counterparts by an advanced system for detecting objects, as well as an enhanced sensor capable of recognizing even weak radiation. The device is equipped with a digital display, which displays the location of all artifacts and anomalies located nearby.
This article tells where to find Veles detectors. In addition, here are all possible options for their further application.
Beard Quest
The first place where anyone can find the Veles detector in the Stalker is the Skadovsk bulk carrier located at Zaton. It is there that the notorious bartender Beard lives, who at one fine moment will give you a task, the essence of which is to clean out the bloodsucker's den.
After receiving the quest, stock up with good weapons, ammunition and first-aid kits, and then go to the specified location. Inside the den you will have to fight a large number of aggressive bloodsuckers, so try to move carefully and not aggro several enemies at once.
Having completed the task, return to the Beard. Delighted by the news of clearing the den, he will give you the Veles detector as a reward.
Herman's quest
The second location, where to find the Veles detector, is the vicinity of the Jupiter plant. You need to talk with Professor Herman who has settled there and complete several of his tasks. As a result, you will receive the quest "Anomaly Research", consisting of two parts:
- You will need to install a special scanner in the places that the scientist will call you.
- The Poplar group will go to take measurements of two special anomalies, and you will have to cover the fighters.
Having successfully completed the task, talk with Herman, who will give you a detector as a reward. Note that the quest will be considered failed if the Poplar group dies.
Hiding places
Finally, two more places where you can find Veles detectors with absolute probability are caches. There are two of them in the game:
- In the cab of an excavator standing in the village of Kopachi. You can either find this cache yourself or get its coordinates as a reward for saving Topol’s squad.
- In Pripyat. The problem is that there are quite a lot of caches in this location. You need one in which, in addition to the detector, lies the SEVA jumpsuit.
As you might guess, it's better to go in search of Veles in Kopachi. In this location it will be much easier to find a detector.
Other options
There are also places in the game where you can find Veles detectors subject to certain conditions. Here is some of them:
- With a certain degree of probability, it can be obtained from the master of any of the groups.
- German will sell Veles until you complete the quests of scientists.
- You can buy it from Sych if you complete the “Wealthy Client” achievement and earn a good reputation.
In addition, Veles may appear in the cache of Koryagi, but the chance is not very great.
What to do next?
There is a quest in the game where to find 3 Veles detectors - this is the main goal. You can take this task from Sych, who, in turn, you will meet at Skadovsk. Having found all three detectors, go to the vicinity of Jupiter and give Veles to the scientist Novikov, who lives in the bunker.
Next, you need to go to the Zaton location and wander around it for a while. Sooner or later, you will receive a message from Owl, who will offer to meet with him. Go to the merchant and talk with him.
Owl will send you to the Beard. Talk to him, knock out the promised share and return to Skadovsk again. Talk with Owl and report on the assignment. As a reward, regardless of your further choice, you will receive a Svarog detector.
