Details
Nuclear reactor part from the Nuclear power plant at Chernobyl. These extremely heavy and well guarded items are used to build the ultimate wasteland vehicle.
Obtaining
Looting
Retrieving
Retrieving the reactors is no easy feat. The player must be at least level 87 to be able to craft a KamAZ or a KrAZ-225 if his level is high enough.
Inside the plant 3 radioactive bears reside and guard the reactors, these bears must be defeated first in order to grab the loot.
Due to the weight of the reactors, 20 tons each, the player must load 1 reactor in the trucks at a time.
While it is possible to load 2 reactors inside the KrAZ, for this, the player needs the perk truck lvl 3, you also need to carry several tons of fuel, so its a useless perk for the quest. You still need to transport 3 times, ideally with 3 KamAZ or KrAZ so you don't need to go back and forth, thus saving diesel.
Note: see moving town quest for a more detailed walkthrough.
Trivia
On older versions of the game, the player could retrieve the reactors without fighting any enemies as the CNPP was uninhabited.
When the map was reset around the time of the 2021 New Year Event (& Christmas 2020) event, players who had already retrieved the reactor parts could get them again- although there is no use for them the second time around.
