Further, following the first path, you will meet another fork:
The path to the surface, to the chest and Room #3. Dead end with a corpse.
Go left and climb up the stairs.

Award
As a result, for the successful completion of Polygon 6, you can get:
Synthetic material x1. Superconductor x2. Microelectronics x2. Cartridges for Kalash x1. Cartridges for PM x1. Dynamo x1. Energy module x1. Drawing: Kalash – Collimator. Drawing: PM – enlarged magazine. Drawing: Electro – Confrontation.
It is important to understand that most of the loot from boxes and chests generated randomly. Therefore, some of the rewards, including weapon blueprints that drop out during the passage of Polygon 6, may be different.
