How to do the infinite money glitch in Stalker 2

If you find the overall economy in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl extremely taxing, there’s a cool glitch that can make you the billionaire of The Zone.

The Zone can be a menacing area, especially if you’re a first-time Stalker. Constantly repairing your weapons and gear can become quite taxing, and it’s not fun to earn paltry amounts of coupons by doing basic tasks. The current glitch has become a popular one with the community, and as of writing, it’s yet to be fixed.

To trigger the glitch, you’ll need to reach Zalissya, which is the first town. Located in the Lesser Zone, this place will be your first base (of sorts), and there are plenty of quests you can trigger. Once you’ve found a few consumables and ammo, return to the trader.

Once you open the menu for trade, your screen will look like the following image. Select an item you want to use for a trade. So far, I have tested the method with bread, medkits, and ammo. First, let’s take a look at the steps.

• Add an item to the sell box.
• Select “Sell All” when prompted.
• Select the item and bring it back down from the sell box.
• You’ll be prompted if you want to return all the items. Don’t press anything.
• Click the confirm button. You’ll notice that the items have been added to the trader’s inventory.
• Now, select “Return All,” and all your items will shift from the trader’s box to yours.
• You’ll get to keep all the coupons you just earned moments back.

Here’s a note of caution: Make sure that the trader doesn’t have any item on their inventory that you’re using for this method. Let’s say I am using medkits to trigger this glitch. Make sure that the trader doesn’t have a single medkit in their inventory. It’s better to spend your coupons to purchase those first and then try the steps mentioned above.

The items won’t return to your inventory if you don’t take this additional step. So, this is pretty much mandatory for the infinite money glitch to work in Stalker 2. I have tested this method on PC, and based on social media, you can also make it work on your Xbox by connecting a USB keyboard. If you’re on a PC, the glitch should work as intended if you follow all the steps carefully.
