S T A L K E R: Call of Pripyat - ( 2021 ) Video #37: "The Hit" - Sultan Variation
0( This is a Redo of Video #34. ) I informed Gonta about Magpie/Flint at the beginning of this video and got the "Courier of Justice" Achievement. Next I took "The Hit" from Sultan, which is the first big mission taken in Call of Pripyat that predetermines what Achievements you will end up with later. To initiate it, you have to talk to Sultan first to get the task of helping Knuckles and his men ( who technically are Stalkers and not Bandits yet ) who are going to attack Spartacus and crew of Stalkers, on the Taras Shevchenko.
In this example, I talked to Sultan but did NOT talk to Beard. This is what you do if you intend to get the "Boss" or "Man of Balance" Achievements which means Spartacus is NOT warned and is surprised by Sultan's planned attack. Whether you help the Bandit wannabes, help the Stalkers or do nothing, your fate is set by NOT warning Beard. If Knuckles and his men win, Sultan will offer the next related mission called "The Transaction". If the Stalkers win, then Owl will offer the next related mission called "The Transaction".
While "The Hit" has to have midnight arrive for the timing to be right, I still have many hours until that happens in an upcoming video. For now, I had to go back and redo my visit to Artifact hunting at the Burnt Farmstead, where I find the free Vintar BC.
