Perhaps you need a guide? To show you the way around all the anomalies, keep you safe from emissions? Pilot at your service.
― Pilot
Pilot (Ru. Лоцман) is a guide who appears only in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Background[]
Pilot is one of the Loners established in the areas of the center of the Zone following the shutdown of the Brain Scorcher. He claims that he isn't good at fighting or collecting artifacts, but good at finding and making use of safe routes between the areas of the Zone, hence his name[quote. 1].
His main business is guiding stalkers between the Skadovsk and Yanov station. Apart from that, he is knowledgeable about anomalies and can provide basic information about them. He can also sense emissions as they approach, claiming they cause him backaches[quote. 2].
Appearances[]
Call of Pripyat[]
Pilot is initially found at the bar in the Skadovsk in Zaton, although he will also appear at the bar in Yanov, depending on the player's current location. He is the only character in the game that enables the player to travel between Zaton and Yanov, as the ability to directly travel between areas has been removed from the game. He is initially only able to guide the player from Zaton to Yanov and vice versa, although after completing the first part of Unidentified weapon, he becomes able to guide the player from Zaton to Pripyat. He charges 3000 RU for a trip on the Zaton-Yanov route, and 6000 RU for a trip from Zaton to Pripyat.
After the completion of the main storyline, he is one of the two characters in the game (the other being Garry) who can escort the player out of the Zone, which triggers the ending sequence.

- Road to Pripyat: Pilot must be talked to regarding a possible route to Pripyat. He will simply point the player towards the Jupiter plant for more information.

Trivia[]
- The travel time between Yanov and Skadovsk remains constant even after the Stingray 2 mapping data has been given to Pilot, despite stalkers claiming the new route is half as short.
