S T A L K E R: Call of Pripyat - ( 2022 ) Video #201: Back in Pripyat
It was time to leave the Skadovsk and Zaton. I went below decks to my main stash and loaded up with the weapons, ammo and other supplies I would take to Pripyat. Pilot offers travel back and forth between Jupiter and Zaton for 1,000 rubles once he gets the maps from you. Gary will take you to Pripyat for 5,000 rubles. So, if you are in Zaton and pay Pilot 1,000 to get to Gary at Yanov Station, the total cost is 6,000 rubles. However, if you are in Zaton, Pilot will offer a special deal to go to both for 4,000 rubles, meaning through him you can save 2,000 rubles. This only works from Zaton to Pripyat ( via Jupiter ) and this is what I did to get to Pripyat.
Once I arrived in Pripyat, I went straight to my stash inside the Laundromat to dump all the ammo and extra supplies and to get back my Eliminator and Gauss rifle. Originally, I thought I would be returning with my GP-37 as my main 5.56 weapon to use, but instead it would be the FT-200M fully upgraded, that was actually my goal to find one from a dead Mercenary ( I assumed ) in Pripyat. I was very happy to have the FT-200M and its target acquisition. It would come in very handy to find all those Pripyat mutants that liked to hide in the bushes. Like the Bloodsucker and rodents I soon met. A trio of Zombies had me soon returning to the Laundromat with the loot. Pripyat was not entirely the empty city that it was described to others to believe.
