The Laundromat is a location in Pripyat in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Overview[]
A two-story building located in the southeastern part of the level, in what used to be a laundromat. After Operation Fairway failed and all five Stingrays crashed, the Military field commander Colonel Kovalsky rallied the surviving operatives there. They are escorted to Pripyat by Guide where they clear a Monolith garrison in a fortified laundromat which they immediately establish as their forward operating base.
Appearances[]
Call of Pripyat[]
Upon the arrival of Major Degtyarev, the Military presence at the Laundromat numbers 14 (16 should Degtyarev and Sokolov be accounted for). It should be noted that one of the initial survivors was killed seizing the building (nothing about the soldier aside his rank, Senior Lieutenant, is known).
Kovalsky is quartered on the second floor while most of Military personnel linger downstairs. Mutant attacks and constant Monolith skirmishes whittle down their numbers to the point only about half of the soldiers remain by the time they are evacuated (even less so should any more of them die during the final mission).
In the immediate wake of the Military's departure, Garry and a small group of Loners, including Yar, occupy the building and establish it as a stalker camp, probably the first stable camp in Pripyat. Garry acts as the guide between Pripyat and Yanov while Yar functions as both technician and medic.

Glitches[]
- The Laundromat does not register as an emission shelter for NPCs, meaning stalkers inside will run away and find shelter in the surrounding area in case of an emission. Static NPCs inside the building (i.e. Yar and Garry), as well as the player, are not affected by this issue.
Trivia[]
- Yar will only appear if the mission Kopachy has been completed, otherwise he will remain at Yanov Station. Provided he is stil alive at the end of the game, the player can complete his side mission at any time after the end of the game and he will move to the Laundromat when the player returns to Pripyat.
