S T A L K E R: Call of Pripyat - ( 2022 ) Video #84: Cave Controller
As mentioned in the previous video ( lengthy written description, please don't miss it ) this is a redo of events due to wrongly choosing the dialogue to inform Beard that he is working for Sultan and making the Loners turn neutral to me. Since I decided not to post nearly two hours ( a day ) of recorded video after events of the last video, I wanted to explain things a little more.
One thing I have not done yet, that most people usually do within a few days of their Game starting in Zaton, has to do with the Controller Cave. I even think the Game is programmed to initiate an Emission within an hour or so of the beginning, to catch people out in the open ( who don't go to the Skadovsk first or rush to it like I did ) who would look at their PDA and see the safe spot marked, being the Cave.
I didn't really have an overriding reason not to visit the Controller in the Cave, other than realizing there are no Controllers in Jupiter until you do the Scientist's mission to go into the train tunnel where you meet the first one in that level. After that point, they are seen everywhere. Likewise in this Game, I wanted to test the same theory and it also held true. I have not seen any Controllers in Zaton. Why am I doing it now? Well, I was disappointed in the amounts of mutants that I was hoping would plague the hostile Bandits at the Dock that I had seen in the videos that I am not posting. Since I am redoing all that action, I thought now would be a good time to take out the Controller, to see if that would increase larger swarms of more focused mutants.
I also decided to reload the encounter with the Controller three times in this video, using various means of attack like shotgun and grenades. One time as I left the cage, I heard an additional warning from the Controller encouraging me to leave and not come back, which I imagine most people may miss.
