Strelok's Hideout

 is a major location within the Agroprom Underground in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.

Overview

 * This small location is almost identical to its retail counterpart except for the way you enter the room (through the door and not the vent).
 * Numerous shelves of loot lay around and general living space props.
 * The player no longer finds Strelok's flash drive in here. Instead it has been replaced by the Novel "Deep Darkness", containing a cryptic hint regarding the flash drive's location.
 * The small hut outside Research Institute: North contains a shortcut entrance to the hideout which is found right at the bottom of the staircase.

Storyline

 * The player is given information to come here to Find Strelok's flash and some clues about his past.
 * On the back wall behind a shelving unit, there is a Novel "Deep Darkness".
 * Upon picking up the book, another clue is given as to the whereabouts of Strelok's flash drive, located in a nearby air-vent in a separate room.
 * The Sheet with notes is located here, a required item for the proper completion of the Find the documents (Agroprom) chain (v1.4000+)
 * The task of getting out alive back through the tunnels then begins.

Side Missions
