Shulga: Let's have a look... So that's how it went down... I don't think the others need to know this. It would be better if nobody ever sees this PDA again. Let the legend of Duty's creation stay as it is. Will you sell me this PDA?
Loki: Well, as long as it's got something useful on it... Wow, that's real interesting. They keep spreading their bullshit propaganda throughout the Zone, but as it turns out, their own history is full of crap. I'd love to give this a thorough read. Listen, I'll pay you well for this PDA.

Duty History is a side mission available in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Description[]

This mission can be acquired by obtaining General Tachenko's PDA, held by the late General Tachenko, Duty's founder. Tachenko and his men are initially trapped into a Space Anomaly at the Cooling tower in Jupiter. The anomaly can be "destroyed" with the use of a Svarog detector, which is the target of the mission Anomalous activity given by Hermann. It is not necessary to have taken Hermann's mission to deal with the anomaly, as it will appear regardless. The Svarog detector is a rare item which can only be acquired by completing the mission Tempting Business or by buying it from Hermann after obtaining the achievement Research Assistant.

Once the Space Anomaly implodes, it will drop the bodies of Tachenko and several of his men. Looting Tachenko's body will net his PDA, revealing his final moments and the truth behind Duty's history. The player must now find someone to give this PDA to. There are three potential acquirers for this PDA:

  • Lieutenant Colonel Shulga, the leader of the Duty expedition in Jupiter, who is found at Yanov station. Upon receiving the PDA, he will tell the player that he will conceal the truth so that the legend of Duty's creation remains intact.
  • Loki, the leader of the Freedom detachment in Jupiter, who is also found at Yanov station. Upon acquiring this PDA, he is delighted to know that the story of Duty's creation is completely fake.
  • Owl at the Skadovsk in Zaton, will simply buy the PDA without saying anything else.

The mission is completed once the PDA has been sold to either of the three acquirers.

Reward[]

Selling the PDA to Shulga will earn the player 4000 RU, a Tunder S14, 60 rounds of 9x39mm SP-6 ammunition, and two VOG-25 Grenades, and this will contribute towards getting the A Friend of Duty achievement. Alternatively, if the PDA is sold to Loki, the player will earn 4000 RU, a SGI-5k and 300 rounds of 5.56x45mm SS109 ammunition, and this will contribute towards getting the A Friend of Freedom achievement. Owl will only pay 2500 RU for the PDA, but it contributes towards getting the A Man of Balance achievement.
