S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl’s Next Free Content Drop Unlocks the X-18 Lab This Month

Fans of the original Shadow of Chornobyl will immediately recognize this location, though it was previously known as Lab X-18. It was used for experiments involving psychic radiation and as the development site for the Brain Scorcher—a large radar dish designed to control minds. Beyond that, the area is also home to powerful, unpredictable Anomalies. While players could explore portions of it in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, GSC Game World appears to be expanding on this location far beyond what players expect.
