Farming Radio Transmitters in Stalcraft is really easy once you get a hang of the process. It’s really a case of “You won’t find it if you’re looking for it, but, the moment you give up, it’s everywhere!”
That is why it’s advised that you use a passive approach when farming Radio Transmitters, as there’s nothing more frustrating than searching for something that never pops up.
Do you hate playing alone? After all, it’s better to explore the Zone with a battle buddy by your side. If that’s the case, then you should definitely check out the Z League app. Its LFG feature will help find you a gaming buddy in no time.
Key Takeaways for Where to Farm Radio Transmitters in Stalcraft
- Radio Transmitters spawn in the Pit and in the Forest
- The Forest is generally considered the more lucrative of the two zones
- It’s better to farm Radio Transmitters passively, rather than actively. This is why you should carry a metal detector on you at all times.
What You’ll Need Before You Head Out
Before you head out, you’ll absolutely want to grab the Leglet. After all, it’s the best metal detector in the game, for the reasons we discussed in our guide on how to get the most Crafting Materials in Stalcraft.
Another thing. Since Radio Transmitters are acquired in caches throughout the Pit and the Forest, you’re gonna want to grab a shotgun or an assault rifle before you head out. That way, you’ll have the versatility to respond to whichever threat the game throws your way.
Oh, and don’t forget your medkits and ammo. The Pit and the Forest aren’t as abundant with loot as some other zones are, which is why you should pack some extra supplies beforehand.
Where to Farm Radio Transmitters as Bandits
If you’re playing as a Bandit, the safest bet for you would be to head out into the Pit. The zones marked on the map above are where you’ll most commonly find caches with Radio Transmitters in them. However…
Remember at the start when I said it’s a case of “whenever you’re you’re looking for something, you never seem to find it.”? Well, that’s how it feels to actively farm Radio Transmitters. If you simply run around from one of the areas to another, you won’t find that much.
The best idea is to carry a metal detector with you at all times while you go about doing your daily quests. That way, you’ll be knocking out two birds with one stone. Not only will you complete your dailies, but you’ll dig up a few caches along the way.
Where to Farm Radio Transmitters as Stalkers
If you’re playing as a Stalker, the safest bet for you would be to go into the Forest. It’s not that you can’t go into the Pit instead, it’s just that it’s heavily unadvised. Not only will you be outnumbered by the Bandits, but you’ll draw attention to yourself like a sore thumb.
The Forest is likewise infested with a ton of mutants and zombies, so, bringing a varied mix of weapons is advised. Thankfully though, most areas in the Forest have the potential of spawning caches containing Radio Transmitters.
Put bluntly, you’ll have to go out of your way to miss the Radio Transmitters, as you’ll be tripping over them in the Forest. This is why this zone is generally considered the better for farming Radio Transmitters, as they’re practically everywhere in the Forest. A factor that has lured in many a Bandits before.
