If you choose to help the stalkers, Beard will alert the Stalker on board the Shevchenko and coordinate a counter-attack against the bandits instead. You can decide to let stalkers finish off the bandits or help them out. In order to win all the Bandits raid party must die.

Sultan

Sultan, leader of the bandits on Skadovsk

Listen up! Sultan wants to see you.
Knuckles

As you enter Skadovsk, Knuckles yells and waves you over to talk to Sultan, the leader of the bandits.

Summary

Sultan offers you an opportunity to make some money and by helping the bandits raid a group of stalkers aboard the Shevchenko working for Beard. After accepting the job from Sultan you can talk to Knuckles to help the bandits with the raid or speak with Beard, Grouse or Spartacus and tip off the stalkers about the raid.

Choices

Working for Sultan

Talk to Knuckles and stick with him until midnight or wait until 2300 hours for the raid to begin. Follow Knuckle's team and ambush the stalkers aboard the Shevchenko. In order to win, all the stalkers on board must die. Speak with Knuckles or newly "promoted" leader of the bandits (because Knuckles died during the fight) for your share of the loot. Return to Sultan to complete the mission and receive your reward.

Tell Grouse

Before talking to Knuckles, speak with Grouse, informing him of the impending raid. Grouse devises a plan to ambush the raid then advises the player to talk to Knuckles. When the raid takes place; the Stalkers are prepared and waiting. The player can find Spartacus and talk to him. He tells the player that they will ambush the raid, and when the shots are fired to open up on them from the rear. Talk to Spartacus after the raid takes place to recieve an item reward.

Tell Spartacus

Before talking to Knuckles inform Spartacus that his men are about to be raided by the bandits. Spartacus will ask you to join the bandits in the raid and attack them from behind once the fighting begins. After the ambush, your reward is slightly better than tipping of Beard.

Tip off Beard and...

Tell Beard about the raid before speaking to Knuckles. He will ask you to "help plan a surprise" for the bandits.

Help the Stalkers

If you choose to help the stalkers, Beard will alert the Stalker on board the Shevchenko and coordinate a counter-attack against the bandits instead. You can decide to let stalkers finish off the bandits or help them out. In order to win all the Bandits raid party must die. Spartacus or newly "promoted" leader of the stalkers (because Spartacus died during the fight) will say, "We got the bastards, thank for your help." You will receive a larger reward than the one for helping the bandits. Alternatively, you may start the mission off by joining the raid, then shoot all the bandits in the back during their approach, before talk to Spartacus for the same reward. Beard will immediately offer you another mission involving the bandits.

If you decide not to take part in the fight, one of the Stalkers will say, "We got the bastards. You're not keen on getting into a real fight, are you?". The reward you get will also be smaller.

Refuse to Help

Informant
The Hit - tell Beard - not help stalkers

Knuckles' dialog when he can't find any stalkers aboard the Shevchenko

If you choose NOT to assist the stalkers, the bandits will search the interior of the Shevchenko and not find any stalkers on board. Surprised, Knuckles will know something is up and accuse you of snitching to the stalkers, then ask you to "empty your pockets...". You can choose to give him all your money and he will leave you alone or you can choose not to, and fight the bandit raiding party. The mission will fail, and Sultan nor Beard will not mention this mission again.

If the Bandits defeat the Stalkers and you did not help, then the Bandits will not know you sold them out. You will not get a cut of the loot; instead you will get a smaller reward from Sultan.

Skipping the Raid

It is also possible to accept the mission from Sultan and ignore it entirely. One of the side will win (most likely Knuckles and the bandits). If the stalker wins, Spartacus will continue on to the next mission; if the bandits win, Knuckles will continue on.

Reward

Working for Sultan


Tip off Beard

Tipping off Grouse

  • First Aid kit x2
  • Cossacks Vodka x 4
  • Stash location
  • Bandages x 4
  • First Aid kit x 2 (Again)
  • Anti-radiation drugs x 2

Tipping off Spartacus

  • First Aid kit x 2
  • Cossacks Vodka x 4
  • Stash location
  • Bandages x 4 (again)
  • Bandages x 6
  • Anti-radiation drugs x 2

Notes

Once Knuckles starts running towards Shevchenko, the ship the stalkers are on, you can run upstairs and sleep until the sky is bright without failing/cancelling the mission. Now that the sun is up, this make the raid a bit easier to fight than at night when you only see by means of your flashlight. If Knuckles reaches the staging area behind the Shevchenko and you sleep more 5-6 hours, you will fail the mission.
