― Achievement description

A Man of Balance is an achievement/trophy in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. It is rewarded for remaining neutral between Freedom and Duty.

Earning the Achievement[]

The following conditions need to be met to earn the achievement:

This achievement is mutually exclusive with A Friend of Duty and A Friend of Freedom.

Consequences[]

  • Hawaiian offers a 15% discount on his wares.
  • Nitro offers a 15% discount on his services. This is cumulative with the 20% discount obtained by completing the side mission Radio equipment.

This achievement makes it difficult to earn the achievement Leader as the player's reputation will usually not be high enough to allow Strider to be recruited into either Duty or Freedom. However, this can be circumvented by obtaining the achievements Diplomat and Mutant Hunter, and turning in Flint to either Duty or Freedom.

Although it is possible to earn this achievement by turning in Flint to either Duty or Freedom, the player will not be able to obtain a discount from Hawaiian and Nitro if they do so - only turning in Flint directly to Gonta will contribute.
