Shop Locations

Commercial strip overview

Most named shops sit along the main commercial boulevard connecting plaza to industrial gates. Start from the central fountain landmark and walk north — gun shops and pharmacies alternate with grocery and hardware stores.

Back alleys behind the strip hide secondary entrances. Use them to escape raiders after buying ammo or selling B-tier loot.

Gun shops and armories

Gun shops cluster near the boulevard midpoint, often opposite parking structures. Expect weapon racks, glass cases with pistols, and occasional rare rifle spawns behind counters.

Loot strategy: breach through rear stock doors if front windows are camped. Clear mutants in storage before opening cases — noise carries to the street. Cross-reference weapon tier list so you do not swap down accidentally.

Grocery and pharmacy

Groceries sit closer to residential intersections — high food density for hunger management. Pharmacies neighbor clinics with med kits and bandages.

These stores attract newer players; visit off-peak hours or send one squad member in while others watch alleys during multiplayer survival runs.

Hardware and scrap vendors

Hardware stores near industrial transitions stock building materials for bunker rooms. Scrap vendors may appear as NPC stalls during trader spawn events — not always static on the map.

Check event pages when static shops run dry; roaming traders sell upgrade modules you cannot craft early.

Safe approach routes

Parkour over low roofs two blocks away, drop into rear loading bays, and exit via parallel side street. Avoid idling out front with full bags — you become a beacon for raiders.

Plan sell trips: load sell room fodder only, hit hardware if crafting queues idle, then bee-line bunker before radiation windows from survive nuclear blasts close.
