Hey stalker, you're just in time! We could really use your help. Those bandit bastards are trying to take control of the Garbage. We had a shootout here half an hour ago and managed to take down three of the dogs. The others retreated, but I'm dead certain they are going to come back with reinforcements any minute now. There aren't too many of us left and another man wouldn't hurt.
We've set up an ambush for them here. They'll be coming from the West, from the Agroprom Research Institute. Help us destroy their reinforcements and you won't regret it!
― Bes asking for help
Respond to the call for help is an optional mission featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
Obtaining the Mission
This mission is acquired when one enters the Garbage for the first time. There are no other requirements.
Objectives
Offer your help to Bes - when the player sees this objective, he must head to the derelict machinery scrapyard (Vehicle graveyard) in the Garbage and talk to Bes about repelling the Bandit raid led by Vasya Boar . Alternatively, if the player would rather help the Bandits, they can kill Bes and his poorly armed allies, leaving the vehicle graveyard to its rightful owners who will settle in and make themselves at home. If you decline Bes' request for assistance, he will make a snide remark about how you'll supposedly regret not standing up to the Bandits when you have to pay for safe passage in the future. The fool doesn't realise that submitting to the Bandits has its perks and if you don't cause trouble in the Garbage you can get by just fine living under their protection.
Loner spotting the area in Bes camp. He then warns by saying They're coming! They're coming!
Reward
If Bes survives the raid he will pay 2000 RU in gratitude for help.
Tips
Saving Yurik when you first enter Garbage is advised as he will provide help during the Repel the bandit raid mission.
