Stalker 2 Night Vision and Binocular Locations Map
The current Stalker 2 map has four night vision placements and twelve binocular placements, split into FOB-45, Yastrub, and Fighter models.
Layers this guide uses
The current map contains four Night vision markers and twelve Binoculars markers. The night vision set includes NVG Gen 1, NVG Gen 2, and two records named Night vision. The binocular set contains four FOB-45, five Yastrub, and three Fighter placements.
Open both optics layers. Night vision is visible in the default layer set, while Binoculars starts switched off. Use the layer controls or search a model name when you want both sets on screen.
All four night vision markers
| Map name | Direct marker |
|---|---|
| NVG Gen 1 | Open NVG Gen 1 |
| NVG Gen 2 | Open NVG Gen 2 |
| Night vision | Open the first generic point |
| Night vision | Open the second generic point |
The two generic points use the in-game label. Their generation is not specified, so search for Night vision to find both.
All twelve binocular placements
| Model | Fixed markers | Direct example |
|---|---|---|
| Binoculars FOB-45 | 4 | Open an FOB-45 point |
| Yastrub Binoculars | 5 | Open a Yastrub point |
| Fighter Binoculars | 3 | Open a Fighter point |
GSC introduced these three binocular models with Update 2.0. The twelve map markers are placements, so a model can appear more than once.
Why search may show a point while the layer looks empty
Search reads marker names, while the visible map respects the active layer filters. If you close a selected optic and want to compare it with the other models, check that its layer is still active.
Use exact model names where possible:
NVG Gen 1NVG Gen 2FOB-45YastrubFighter
Searching only night can also match locations or descriptions. The exact name gives a shorter result list.
Plan an optics pickup route
Open Night vision, Binoculars, and Locations. Pick the point nearest your current region, then add Beds or Technicians if the route needs a service stop.
Do not add all supply layers for this job. Sixteen optics markers are easy to compare until thousands of medical and ammo records cover the same view.
When you collect an optic, use Mark as found on its marker card. The map fades that point so the uncollected optics stand out, and the progress stays in the current browser.
