Suit suggestions

---QUOTATION---
To the Underground!

On my way to the Freedom Bar in the Outskirts, I spoke to Guide in the church.

I said I would be back because I am not ready for that trip yet.

A Seva suit is in order, this I know. Any other suggestions?
---END QUOTATION---

If you're in Outskirts there's still an impressive set of loot placements, especially over the road from the "New Duty HQ". Will a protection suit do?
Chef can fix you up if you have tools and don't fancy a trip to Fox.

Some kind soul even wrote all the loot up:

I got this message on the PDA so I walked all the way back to the original 100 Rads only to find it empty. They are referring to another location apparently. https://imgur.com/O5xUdNW

Backtrack from the stairwell leading down to 100 Rads to the first enclosed room you encounter.

It was once used as a garage. We know this because of the two plank covered pits. As you enter the room, look directly ahead to the doorway on the opposite side. There's the doorway in question.

Yea I got into that room after the heli attack.

The message says the 100 Rads is open again, but doesn't specify a location.

Duty may refer to the new "bar" in northern Pripyat Outskirts.

[Nope, that is full of Freedom guys.]

LA DC 1.4007 late start playthrough

Pripyat Outskirts has Duty in the south, Freedom in the north and there's a no man's land between them with a tiny church in the middle. Last time I was in LA, before a lot of the side missions got added, Dez0wave really didn't know what to do with Freedom.

There was some wonky mission about some key on the bar counter but other than that everyone just stood around doing nothing. I'm sure that's probably changed since but it seems like Dez0wave has always had a Freedom problem. Like in Priboi Story, they were just simply targets for the Player to wipe out. A lot of the early SoC Modders are that way. They got it in their heads that Freedom were bad simply because they missed the cues that Colonel Skull and his men were renegades. General Voronin even tells the Player not to listen to them but that dialogue often comes too late for many Players who mindlessly think Freedom are the enemy.

You're quite right. Most of the time they just stand around.
Lukash ponies up a retrieval mission that you could write an LA travelogue about.

The "key on the bar" jig was a spy mission if you "Joined Duty", but it didn't do much except give the player the chance to run around Outskirts very early. I suppose it was a proof of concept for guides as you had to use the "Duty Guide" to get there and back. It's a cut mission anyway, like so much else.

Key on the Bar

I just did the "key on the bar" mission but did not join Duty. After dark the Merc bartender gets drunk and leaves the bar so you can take it.

Now I am following Guide through the deserted hospital and my game has locked my computer for the third time. Locked as in no ESC key and no Task Manager. I have to restart my computer.

What is with the 2 Bloodsuckers he fights? Is this some kind of in-game cutscene? He aims at them, hits them with his weapon like its a club, then fires a few rounds as if he wants me to shoot them.

I just watch and save ammo. Odd.

My mistake (it's been so long) it was a FLASHDRIVE on the FREEDOM bar counter that you stole for Voronin and placed some nonsense called an "Out bug" (that he never gave you) magically on a windowsill near Skinflint.

You have the Lukash task for the Anomaly Generator.

Vanilla play gets you a Groza, 6 boxes of ammo and a nice suit. I'm curious as to what comes up in PRM if you complete it. Will you let me know please?

Your keyboard snafus sound engine related to me.

Pripyat Dungeon

If I previously went through this version of the Underground I have no recollection of it.

This took me a long time to get through. I only looked at a map when I could not find my way to the door code.

Lots of fun, but my PS99 Suit (with all upgrades) is now too damaged to repair. Bleh, but pretty cool that I found another one down there.

The PKM found really came in handy for swarms of Zombified Stalkers. I managed to pick up 5 ammo cans (500 rounds) there too.

As soon as I emerged from the Underground the missions continue, and there is no technician in the area. Booooo.....

HOWEVER, I soon got a message from a special trader a few buildings away. Only problem: Monolith in the way. I used the rest of my ammo, then just sprinted the remainder of the way. Then the last Mono I was shooting at got attacked by a Bloodsucker. Bye bye.

The trader had tons of cool equipment, none of which I could afford except ammo. I sold the suit I found to him, threw on the Tourist Suit I was carrying, dumped the other SP99(whatever) in the trash and decided to head back to my old buddy Fox. That's right- in Cordon. I took advantage of the transition to Outskirts and used the guide to tele to Rookie Village.

Dug out my old Freedom Guardian Suit (fully upgraded also) from Sid's bunker stash, donned my new Sphere-12 helmet(fully upgraded by Fox) and I feel like a new Stalker!

I found several artefacts underground. Currently shopping around for best prices!

I will get back to those Generators in due time.

Surprisingly my first venture into the Pripyat Underground went very quickly and without getting lost. All I remember is that at most every fork or uncertain area...I always went left. Before I knew it I was at the end.

Did you already know the door code?

Getting to the door was easy. Getting back to the map marker for the code proved quite difficult. I was up and down the levels trying to bypass blocked passages. Although learning the snorks could climb and descend ladders was really cool.

After killing two or three, I could hear another shuffling around but could not find it. As I looked left and right, it came down a ladder right next to me and attacked.
