Every step forward and the device went louder and louder, faster and faster, up to the moment when it turned into a nonstopping sound. At one moment he hit jackpot – the device became louder. He started to slowly turn around, all the while listening for louder beeps. After landing the man let out a small laugh and took out the beeping device. Swoosh – the lighting went off as the man sailed through the air, right over the glowing bolt. A few seconds passed, and the Stalker threw another piece of metal, while starting to run. He prepared quietly as failure would result a painful death.
The person took some more iron bits from a small bag on his belt as he took a few steps back. A grin formed on the mans face – an Artifact was near. After pressing some buttons the device started to beep loudly. A figure calmly watched the light show, and took a small device from his belt. Immediately the area was filled with a bright, blue light, as small lighting bolts shot up into the air. There was never a foreign buyer.The small piece of metal traveled through the air and landed on the ground with a silent thud. I think she scummed me (and other naive rookie stalkers) with that gun quest and the tuna package. your gameplay is more limited in one sense but also she adds some funny and helpfull things.īTW. maybe i can go with her in NPP.Īfter all i really enjoy the additional challenge with Hip as compagnion. This is my current save point, let's see. I did reload a save, went with her as team to Rookie Village first and then started the dialog with our deal and a second dialog at night opens a quest you can do for Barkeep or for Lukash with her. with the strange level crossing of such NPCs that was not a valid escort mission for me. After the dialog, she walked straight as regular NPC to Rookie Village to buy tuna from Sid. When i realized there is a further dialog with Hip about the payment, we were already in Jupiter.
Nevertheless many fleas are the death of the dog. Hip must have fought like a lioness because there were many bodies around. She does follow you only half the way into the bunker and when you disable Brain Scorcher a lot of Monolith are pissed and run after you. Another outcome is: she found her own VSSK in Radar and that gun is an one shot machine except for the big mutants and magically Hip doesn't need ammunition. Luckily i had her immortal otherwise she wouldn't have survived. Somehow i missed this money share first and did the whole Brain Scorcher quest with Hip. I got 180K from Sid for the three quest artefacts and gave Hip 50%, what was our deal, so 90k for me. Over all i found a handful other artefacts during this search - including a Death Lamp -, so its a money machine (currently 1.7 Mio cash, i loot a lot and Hip can carry a lot). I started my searches always after an emission because artefacts spawn then. I often looked in those two gravi anomalies in Army Warehouse too. Another stalker here on Reddit mentioned that place. In my current playthrough i had other two artefacts at gameday 49 and started to search the Wrenched.Īt gameday 79 i found it in Dog Mincer anomaly in Agroprom.
