No... What the hell is that? Wait! We're all dead! Help! Someone, help me! Get that thing away from me!
― Klimenko's last words
Captain Klimenko is a character that appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Background[]
Klimenko is, along with Tarasov, the second highest-ranking survivor of Operation Fairway. Given his rank, it can be assumed he is an experienced veteran of the Zone. It is unknown which Stingray he was part of. He leads a four-man squad comprised of himself, Ostrovsky, Sergieyev and Valyushok.
Appearances[]
Call of Pripyat[]
Klimenko is one of the survivors of Operation Fairway encountered in Pripyat. He is seen sitting on a bed in the main room of the Laundromat. Like most of the soldiers, he cannot be interacted with; instead, if the player attempts to speak with him, he will advise the player to speak to Kovalsky.
Klimenko and his squad go missing shortly afterwards after being sent on a reconnaissance mission (while the player was out securing the Gauss rifle) following a strange communication, prompting the Colonel to send the player out to investigate. The Major soon discovers the bodies of Klimenko and his squadmates at the coordinates of the last transmission, having been apparently taken out by a Monolith squad.
Later in the story, when the player eliminates a controller that manipulated Lieutenant Stetsenko into suicide, Kovalsky deduces that Klimenko and his men were not killed by the Monolith but were forced to shoot each other by the controller.

Trivia[]
