Smugglers are a semi-bandit group that transports a lot of goods from the mainland to the Zone. Not all members of this group are involved in criminal activity in terms of the Zone, since most of its members simply drag all kinds of goods from the mainland and sell them in the Zone with a good markup. However, the leader of the group and his entourage are former gang leaders, so the smugglers are still more sympathetic to the gangsters. Many stalkers do not trust smugglers, as they can often throw an ordinary loner, and there is no guarantee from them. Smugglers strongly dislike, and sometimes even openly quarrel with large traders, since they have their own suppliers and are not going to smugglers under the roof of the smugglers. The group's base is located somewhere on the border of the Zone, where they have something equipped in the form of a large checkpoint.
