S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lore - Death Trucks

I just now, after 15 years realize what savior meant when he mentioned the dreams. He seems to know that the survivors of death trucks suffer from nightmares and strange dreams as a consequence of brainwashing. He must’ve known someone that suffered a similar fate to Strelok in the past, otherwise he couldn’t have known. It’s a shame that the Savior was never reused in Stalker, it would’ve been so cool if Strelok bumped into him on his journey to the center. Another great video about one fo the many mysteries of The Zone. You have by far the best Stalker related channel on YouTube and it’s going to grow big, I’m sure of it, especially with more and more people getting into the series.

Your videos are by far the best about Stalker lore.

While I suppose it is then non-canon for the official release of SoC, I believe the cutscene is from a time when the Cordon had many more hills and uneven terrain, explaining the location of the death truck a bit better. Another great video from my favourite Stalker!

i am monolith's drunkest death truck driver

the one thing Savior says that i think was interesting was "at least death would have saved him from the dreams". does this mean he himself is Marked and is either carrying out CC's orders of cleaning up crashes or managed to break free of their influence? or does it mean he's saved multiple Marked ones and noticed that weird dreams/nightmares are a common occurrence for them? or somewhere in between all of that. maybe hes a marked one that was tasked with cleanup duty, he broke free, and now he tries to save any that he can

8:35 I think the stalker with a trench-coat and scarred zombie like face is actually Mercenary Scar giving a quick look when lightning appeared, because you can see the part of the collar from the trench-coat which is blue, and the face shape reminds of Scar's ( My theory. ) Edit: Slow down the playback speed to 0.25 and look carefully.

Strangest thing about Savior is fact that he know about "Dreams". So he either meet agents who tell of dreams before (maybe reason why he is not as surprised as Sidorovich if Dreams even are something other than memories of before brainwashing that slip in from time to time) or he himself is/was agent who realize it later on. Way he run towards crash look like he in some way know crash happen. So he either hear it happen somewhere in distance and he go investigate it immediately, or he is tasked to investigate them for survivors by CC to make sure they survive and do their mission as he seem to do it before like with Strelok (who unfortunately have his mission be error) and when he is done with that, he simply leaves and dont reappear until another Death Truck have accident or something similar

One of the big mysteries of the zone.I said many times that imo there are at least 2 more marked agents in STALKER universe...One is Saviour and one is Guide.

Like in war where a soldier plays dead amongst the corpses, it could be that the CCon hides the actual Stalker agents amongst dead bodies, giving it a lower chance of being discovered. The death truck has more useful purposes though as it serves as a warning to stalkers: This is what happens to you if you come to close to the center. And instead of burying bodies, they simply use a brainwashed stalker to drive them to various areas around the zone. Most mutants would eat the corpses, except around a truck such as in Cordon where it's highly radioactive. So it could be a coincidence that's the only clear example of being a death truck.

My hypothesis is that the truck accessed the cordon via the darkscape, the removed area. It would have then went through the dark valley to access the darkscape, as they were connected in an earlier version of the game. When Sidorovich talks about the "road to the south" after you leave X-18 in the dark valley, that road is the darkscape. I believe it may have been mentioned in a video... The more theoretical portion of my theory is that there is some secret path from the radar to the dark valley, only accessible to the monolith and of course the trucks. I must admit I got this idea from a mod I played, not sure which.

When they are caught at the zero point of the region from each group, they are brainwashed and re-coded, and among them the drivers of death trucks emerge. In that scene, the man drives as if he drank a lot of vodka, that is, he is not in the right mind. Armed human zombies are also distributed with these trucks. Marked One is very lucky.

its amazing how you can get so much lore from such little its like the games of thrones

The death truck from the game maybe transporting some guys to the Chenobyl.

ah very nias new vid

Greeting from Czech. You always make my day when i get a notification that there's a new video. And as always, it's great. Best Stalker lore channel. I can't wait for Stalker 2 to come out and you to tell me later stuff what I missed or overlooked somehow :)

Your Vids are genuinely the best STALKER lore videos on the internet ngl

8:42 night, storm, and c-con "blessing" is actually a pretty good reason why the death truck can travel so far.

It's interesting that Saviour has to specify that Strelok's body has "got the mark", meaning that not everyone transported in Death Trucks has the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. tattoo, and, thus, not everyone in the Death Trucks is a marked agent of the C-Consciousness.

Good video. I know that's maybe isn't canon(or is it?) but in the mod NLC 7 the author did a good job with implementing trucks in main game. There's multiple times you can encounter them destroyed in more places in the Zone, even a "fresh" one that was stopped by Freedom at the Barrier with some strange glow on tires. Stalkers talk more about them and have different opinions about it. Some folks talked they heard or saw that trucks are teleporting when moving. When Freedom explored one that stopped nearby the base, it didn't had an any sort of engine("it was some kind of big toy"). But it vanished next day and left some slime or something on the ground

One of the greatest mysteries is what is in the can food...
