One of the most fun parts of Forspoken is the magical parkour system you can use to traverse the game's world. However, the areas in the game are much larger than you might expect, and it will still take a while to get from one end of a zone to the other. Thankfully, a fast travel system exists, but not immediately. Here's how to fast travel in Forspoken to cut down on your travel time.

How to fast travel in Forspoken

Fast travel won't be available until you start the game's third chapter and are directed to the first Pilgrim's Refuge.

Step 1: After leaving the Cipal, activate the Pilgrim's Refuge by entering it to put it on your map

Step 2: By opening your map and highlighting this refuge, and any other Pilgrim's Refuge you unlock, you will be given the prompt to fast travel there. Alternatively, you can press the L3 button to bring up a list of locations you have discovered that you can fast travel to.

Step 3: Unlocking Belfries on your map will also make them available as fast travel points.

While you can only fast travel to these specific points, you are able to initiate fast travel from anywhere on the map at any time. The only instances where fast travel is restricted are when you're engaged in combat or in the middle of a main quest.

How to stealth kill in Stalker 2

It won't take long before The Zone teaches you one very important tip for surviving in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which is to avoid fighting whenever possible. You can only carry so many resources, and prolonged fights can leave you with almost nothing left. And that's if you even manage to survive. There are some fights you just can't get around, though, but going in guns blazing isn't the best strategy. There's a handy stealth kill mechanic in Stalker 2, but you won't find it in any of the tutorials.

You have the ability to stealth kill right off the bat, though it is not something the game will ever explain or tell you. It works how you would think, but is tricky enough to pull off that you might not think it's possible even if you try the right thing.

Unless you played any of the previous games, it might come as a surprise to learn just how many immersive sim elements are in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. In a lot of ways, it is closer to a more hardcore Fallout game than a pure FPS title, with lots of loot, quests, and characters to meet and talk to. One somewhat hidden mechanic is the reputation system. Stalker 2 won't stop you from opening fire on anyone you want, but not without consequence. Upset someone from a particular group, and you'll find yourself being hunted by them until you do something about it. There are enough things in Stalker 2 trying to kill you so if you accidentally angered a group and want to get back in their good graces, here's how you can fix your reputation.

It won't be long into Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl that you encounter your first weapon jam. Whether you're fighting mutant dogs or enemy bandits, the last thing you want to hear when lining up a shot is the clicking of your weapon despite still having plenty of ammo. The more you use your weapons, the lower their durability becomes and the more likely you are to experience a jam. You don't have the skills to repair or upgrade your weapons yourself, and Stalker 2 is more than willing to let you miss out on finding the places to do it. Never get caught with a broken or weak weapon again by learning how to repair and upgrade your weapons in Stalker 2.

You can see how beaten down your weapon is in the inventory by highlighting it or based on the color of the broken shield icon. If that icon appears at all, you can expect jams to start popping up.
