Random stashes

== Random stashes from dead bodies ==
When searching dead bodies, you have a 0.8% (1 out of 125) chance to find information on a stash placed in a random vanilla container in the world. 
These random stashes contain a weapon, an armor, some ammo, an artifact, and a mutant part. Item quality will depend on the rank of the NPC; Rookie stashes will have mostly cheap armors, melee weapons, etc, while stashes from Master-ranked NPCs will have much better items. Compared to other mods, OP 2.2's random stashes are very generous in terms of their items.
Stashes in the Red Forest, Limansk, Generators, Hospital, Warlab, Old Village start appearing only after accepting Documents for Fang.
Stashes in the Dead City, Zaton, Jupiter, Eastern Pripyat, Pripyat-1 Underpass, X-8 start appearing only after finishing "Black Angel".
== Buying random stashes ==
You can buy random stashes from Loners that are friendly to you for 30,000RU. Regardless of the NPC rank, the rank of the stash is always randomized (as it belongs to somebody else, the stalker you're buying it from just passes you the info).
After finishing The archive documents, you will be able to drink with any Loners, and get the stash for free. The chance to get the stash is 1/5. Warning: you can only drink 5 bottles of Vodka in a day before dying from alcohol poisoning. After drinking 70 bottles in the entire game, you'll become an Alcoholic, which will let you drink 1 bottle more per day, but also block you from getting the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. achievement. 
You can buy the stashes from Informant in the Bar at an exchange rate of one stash for 40 PDAs. The quality/rank of the stash will be randomized. 
Some NPCs offer stashes in exchange for completing their cyclic quests (usually harder ones). These have randomized ranks as well.
== Named stashes ==
When you receive a random stash, there's a very small chance for it to belong to one of the ingame characters. These stashes have fixed contents and only obtainable after certain events in the game from the bodies of certain ranks (or from a source with the randomized rank).
Here are the contents of named stashes. Non-trivial items are marked.

Note: the second Hog's stash is identical to the one he gives for the PDA of deceased Krysyuk, so it's possible to obtain it multiple times.
