Stray might not be the longest game out there, but it does come with a number of different collectibles you can chase. For a few of them, you'll have to find the locations of four vending machines that give you energy drink cans.

While neither of them has any inherent value for Stray's protagonist, the merchant in the slums treats energy drink cans as currency and is willing to exchange them for two of the three items he sells.

Although Stray's lack of a map can make tracking down its vending machine locations, getting the energy drink cans is simple, since they automatically pop out when you interact with the machines.

Better yet, the first one is nearby, requiring you to climb the stairs next to the merchant and head forward until you reach Morusque, the musician. The vending machine is opposite to him.

For the second, you'll want to turn go down the stairs dear the Guardian and head past the Companion leaning against the vending machine. Make a left, then a right, then another right when you spot Grandma, the famed poncho maker.

Go forward until you reach the bicycle, then make a right. Go up the stairs, make a left, go down the stairs, and make another left. Go forward, climb the bigger set of stairs, then make a final left and you'll spot the second Stray vending machine location, earning you your second energy drink can.

For the remaining two, you'll need to head to the rooftops. The third vending machine location waits to the left of the stargazing Companion that's close to the pair throwing paint cans to each other. It, naturally, gets you your third Stray energy drink can.

Just behind it, you'll spot a robot sitting down. Approach him and you can navigate to the lower levels. Drop one level and make a right. Hop onto the roof below, and go forward.

When you reach the end hop up to the wooden board, take a few steps forward, then jump below to reach Stray's fourth vending machine and energy drink can location. Here's what you can purchase from the merchant:
