How to unlock the Stalker's smarts achievement in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Definitive Guide
Location: Zaton Region: Icarus Base
This is only possible after completing the Like a Month to the Flame main mission.
The Side Hustle quest will have you going to the train depot warehouse, and instead of using the red button to enter the building you'll have to grab the parts hanging from the window without going inside the building. To do this, you'll want to push a wooden crate undernearth the window, and use it as a jumping platform to gain enough height to loot it during a jump. Doing so unlocks the achievement.
This is only possible after completing the Like a Month to the Flame main mission.
In the Icarus base, you can find the technician vendor named Sgt. Yeremeyev, and upon having a conversation with them, accept the mission which should give you a new side quest named The Side Hustle. If you get Shock Therapy instead, complete this and return to him to get the next one.

Lol i just threw a grenade through the window where the stash hangs out. Stash falls down, pick it up, presto!

I just threw a grenade into the window and it knocked it out for me (probably from blowing up the red canister mentioned above).

Perfect solution. Do this before heading to the swamp or you will be locked out as the base becomes deserted and you can no longer pick up the side quest. I had to reload a 10hr save in Zaton.

What’s the name of the side quest? Would’ve been nice if you’d mention that.

Very missable achievement as it can be unlocked only during The side Hustle side mission available in Zaton Region.

**Missable**
In order to unlock this one, you need to progress through the main story and complete the mission “Like a Moth to the Flame.” This will give you access to the Technician at Camp Icarus.
The Technician will offer you a side mission entitled “The Side Hustle,” although you will have to first complete the “Shock Therapy” side mission for him, in order to unlock “The Side Hustle.” Once you have it unlocked, make your way to the Railway Maintenance Facility, north west of Camp Icarus.
Once there, you will see a suitcase poking out of one of the high windows on the right-hand side of the warehouse. You will notice that there is a train running parallel to the warehouse, and inside its rear carriage is a box. If you push that box out of the carriage and under the high window, you can then jump onto the box, leap upwards toward the case, and press in mid-air. When you do, the Stalker’s smarts achievement will then unlock.

Missable trophy
Zaton - Ikar. The task "Halturka", given by the gunsmith Eremeev. According to the task, you will need to get parts for making a suit. They are in the hangar in the location "Service Station". When you try to open the door to the hangar, a short circuit will occur, after which Eremeev will offer you to turn on 3 switches to restore the power supply. Do not touch them. Your task is to pick up the parts hanging from the second-floor window on the side of the train. You can't just get there. To do this, you need to put some object right under the window. I used one of the boxes located inside the car standing behind the aforementioned train.
