S T A L K E R: Call of Pripyat - ( 2022 ) Video #154: No Way Out
I'm still at the Bandit Checkpoint in Jupiter at the crossroads where the last video left off. It's dark and I'm using night vision to go down the road to the south and look around for any mutants or wandering Zombies. I also keep an eye on the Parking Lot below to the west. I made the mistake of standing inside a building among the Bandits, who soon pin me to the wall and I'm unable to escape. I use Demo_record to look around while trapped and eventually realize I must load my last Manual Save to escape my predicament.
With a reloaded Manual Save, I avoid getting trapped again and Ieave the Bandits, going to the Freedom squad by the Anomalous Grove who give me fast travel back to Yanov Station. We find the Dutyers still standing outside that I first met by the Controller train tunnel. After doing my typical repair, sell and dump, I'm back outsise using the same Freedom to return to the Anomalous Grove. I actually pick up a few artifacts there before leaving.
Back at the Bandits Checkpoint compound, I spend a little time there as dawn arrives and I'm soon going westward over to the train tracks and I find some Duty fighting mutants in the southern train tunnel. Two are killed with only one survivor. We go up the hill where the Dutyer is fixated on something underground, and I find a Chimera at the helicopter pad that is easy to kill. Since the Dutyer is in a heightened mode of alertness, I'm able to buy a complete set of a guitar, harmonica and PDA from him which is my second complete set in the Game.
An Emission hits and I run to the Bandit Container Yard. All is well with Shishak, Dwarf and the others but I find two dead Dutyers caught outside after the Emission that is some sad loot. I go eastward to see if I can find the Dutyer Ieft behind near the Helicopter pad, but all I find is a Controller leaving the train tunnel. I shoot him as he goes up the hill and I have to flank him to the north unsure where he will travel at the top of the bluff. I get him before he enters the Minefield. Maybe I should have waited to see him hit a mine.
Traveling back north I find the lone Dutyer inside the train station building where I had earlier gone in search of the Heart of Oasis. We fast travel back to Yanov Station and I do my routine and the video ends right around 8am as all the NPCs that had spent the night in Yanov, are ready to go out again.
