In a game like Stalker 2, money is one of the more important aspects of the game. In these type of games, it allows you to level up your character, improve statistics, and purchase high value gear to give you the best chance of survival.

This works the exact same in Stalker 2, you will need coupons in order to better equip yourself as you wander out into the heart of Chornobyl. There are many ways to earn coupons in Stalker 2, giving players a variety of playstyles to choose from. Here's a couple of quick ways to start earning coupons quickly in Stalker 2.

Selling unwanted inventory to vendors

From playing similar games such as Fallout, you'll know selling any unwanted gear is the quickest way to earn cash. In Stalker 2, it's no different. Whenever you encounter a trader, see if they can purchase any weapons, gear, ammo, etc. Whenever killing an enemy, they will drop loot, be sure to pick them up each time, even if the ammo or gear is not suited for your specific character. Ammo can be found scattered across the map, so if you're looking to go back to the traders anytime soon, be sure to pick up the ammo even if it doesn't work for your particular weapon.

Speaking of weapons, these are going to get you a decent amount of coupons. In Stalker 2, the weapons have conditions, from brand-new to almost unusable. If the weapon is the latter, be sure to repair it first before taking it to a trader because they won't take the weapon if it's in poor condition.

Completing sidequests

We get it, sidequests can be very boring and you just want to get on with the main story, but if you're looking to get a large number of coupons quickly, you're going to want to do sidequests in Stalker 2. According to thegamer.com, you can get thousands of coupons in the early game from the sidequests in the Lesser Zone, a 1,000 payout to be exact. When getting into the latter stages of the game, bigger and better sidequests will provide you with a payout that is easily 10,000, so be sure to get on those sidequests early or you'll be missing out on a big payday.
