The only way to get the Early Bird items mentioned above is by spending a few more dollars on the Deluxe or Ultimate edition of the game. However, Stalker 2 doesn't allow you to claim your rewards immediately. To get your benefits, you need to complete the Seek, and You Shall Find side quest. If you don't know how to unlock it, simply progress through the main narrative and finish the A Needle in a Haystack mission in Zalissya.

Once you're done, the game will notify you to check your Private Stash. When you open it, you'll find the Journalist's USB, which helps you locate the rest of the Stashes in the game. Each of them contains one of your bonus items, and they will depend on the edition you've purchased. Keep in mind that the Stashes will be marked on the map with an icon of three little triangles.
