An old road tunnel in the southeastern area of the level going underneath a railway line, the Burner tunnel is the only route in and out of Yantar from the Wild Territory. The tunnel inherits its name from the large number of Burner anomalies within the tunnel itself.

This tunnel will have to be crossed every time the player travels to Yantar, or from Yantar to the Bar. Since the number of Burners is quite high, the area is rich in artifacts such as Droplets. Safely passing through the tunnel is best done by sticking to the central area, although the use of bolts is highly recommended to avoid being accidentally caught in one of the Burners.
Because the tunnel is very close to Yantar, there is a steady inflow of Zombified Stalkers. Zombies usually wander around the area between the opposite end of the tunnel and the entrance to Yantar. They often reach the entrance of the tunnel, and when they do, they usually end up getting paralyzed or killed by the Burners a few feet into the tunnel. Mutants can also be encountered at the tunnel.
