And I want respect for the bandits and our rules, buddy, but I ain't interested in unnecessary trouble either...
― Shishak

Shishak (Ru. Шишак) is the leader of a large group of Bandits in Jupiter during the events of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Background[]

Shishak and his Bandits traveled to Jupiter to exploit the growing population of stalkers eager to explore the center of the Zone, settling at the Container warehouse. He and his men began demanding a cut of the artifacts stalkers find, but they refused[quote. 1]. In response, Shishak's gang captured one of the stalkers and held him hostage, demanding a ransom in exchange for his liberation[quote. 2].

Unlike some of his contemporaries, he claims to be a "fair man" who will "not take more than he is owed"[quote. 3].

Appearances[]

Call of Pripyat[]

Shishak's role is primarily around the hostage situation of Mitay, where he is holding him for ransom for either the Goldfish artifact they found or 15 000 RU. Depending on what the player decides to do, one can either pay the ransom or forcefully break Mitay out by eliminating Shishak and his Bandits.

If the player negotiates for Mitay's release and he lives, Shishak, unlike Jack, will not stray out of the Container Warehouses and instead remain there for the entire game. He also does not have anything of interest in his inventory, so there is no real reason to kill him other than for fun. If the player has given the Goldfish or another artifact to Shishak, they can kill him to reclaim it, though this will turn the Bandits in the compound hostile.

If the player opts to storm the compound, Shishak will retreat to the back of the building and hold a gun to Mitay's head. The player only has a few seconds to kill Shishak before he kills Mitay who, likewise, has nothing of interest in his inventory.
