Heh, can't see how anyone would want to come to this shithole. Nobody ever came here before 'cause the only thing you'd find was trash and radiation. And then "wham" - a couple of stalkers got lucky and dug up a few decent trinkets. After that people started flooding here from all over the Zone like horny sailors to a whore. This place was a huge mess until our boys showed up and established some order around here. The Zone needs order, one way or another.
― Tooth

Tooth (ru. Зуб) is the trader for the Bandits during the events of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky.

Background

Tooth was doing a backstreet business back in the Soviet Union when he got caught on a major deal. He made some buddies and connections with the underworld crowd and started buying up good from burglars, then he got arrested again and got out when the Soviet Union stopped existing. He didn't manage to adjust the changes in life, so Tooth was living in poverty until the Zone appeared. He became a trader there. He doesn't really care much about Yoga's leadership just as long as he can sell his goods, although he notes that he feels that the local bartender, Borov, is about to make a move soon.

Gameplay

Tooth can share some thoughts with Scar. He can express the general opinion of the bandits that Yoga ain't gonna be a leader for long, and Borov is gonna make his move sooner or later. Regardless of who will be the leader, however, Tooth will still be trading there.

The trader can tell about how the bandits have brought bandit order to Garbage, as well as tell stories about himself, two stalkers fleeing from Rodents, and the bandit organization. Tooth also realizes the real threat posed by the Duty: The Zone needs order, one way or another. Either pigs and jarheads enforce the law, or gangsters establish order of their own, and that's what we've done here at the Garbage. - he says. Tooth, however, does not rule out the possibility of the bandits being defeated as a faction.

Tooth also sells coordinates of stashes, including those with Flash Drives that Limpid and Aydar need.

Although things are going well for Tooth, he dreams of heading off to more profitable places.

Appearances

Since Tooth is the faction's trader, he sells mostly items that the bandits use. Tooth sells 12x70 Buckshot (for shotguns), 5.45x39mm, and 9x39mm PAB-9 (for assault rifles). He also sells Bandit jacket, Berill-5M armoured suit, and SEVA suit (rarely).

Trading

Tooth pays the most for Soviet and Russian-produced weapons: he has little interest in Western designs. For example, a modified AC-96/2 (with PSO-1 scope), which is used by the assault squads of Duty, he will buy at least for 1500 RU. The trader also buys up food and drinks at full price, even though he is not a bartender or cook. For one bottle of vodka he gives 100 RU.

Traders refuses to pay for some goods. Player can sell those items, but he will get a ridiculous amount (no more than 10 RU) or won't get money at all. These include 9x18mm, 12x76 Dart and 12x76 Slug. Tooth does not buy at all: detectors and weapon attachments (guns with attachments, however, can be sold).

But trading with Tooth is not profitable: he gives little or no money for most items, so it is better to trade with other factions. It is recommended to trade with him only for food and drinks, he pays full price.

Clear Sky

The player comes to Tooth for faction related rewards. His shop is located at the right of the depot's entrance. There is a metal door in front of his shop, with a blue box behind it. One can find artifacts in it. He sells a number of stash coordinates, many of them containing flash drives wanted by technicians around the Zone.

Trading

In some cases around 11:00 p.m and 12:00 a.m, Tooth's inventory will be greatly expanded and will sell a wide array of exotic armaments and munitions. His inventory includes the SA Avalanche and the Vintar BC along with armor piercing 5.45x39 and 5.56x45 rounds and PAB-9 and SP-6 9x39mm rounds. Keep in mind however that unless one either has joined or has very good relations with the Bandit faction, the prices for his goods are absurdly high and he pays pathetically for even high-tier weapons and items. This starts after the player has completed the job of bringing Sidorovich's important case from the Military.

Got some loot? That's a beaut'.

No loot, the point is moot.
Tell me, where did you dig up these things?
Nice doing business with you.
