Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobyl – Hot On The Trail Walkthrough
If you want to enter the Noontide base and help Strider in Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobyl, you’ll have to follow a specific path.
Overall, this game has lots to chew on, especially if you love exploring and knocking out side quests as you reach new areas. While Stalker is relatively hardcore in how it presents its world and combat, you can get by just fine by keeping your weapons in good shape and being careful with your ammunition!
How To Start A Job From Boozer In Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobyl
Before you begin A Job From Boozer in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, you must first reach the Slag Heap, which will happen during the Price Goes Up main mission. So, if you have yet to complete that, continue making your way through the story until you’re on that mission.
Upon reaching the Slag Heap, head through the front doors and speak with Boozer behind the bar counter as soon as you walk in. From here, you will be able to choose from a handful of options that will lead to the A Job From Boozer side mission.
Talk To Boozer
The first choice won’t matter too much when he asks you if you’re from the Lesser Zone. We chose the “None of your business” option and got a nice chuckle out of the Boozer, so that’s likely the better of the two choices. From here, tell him that you’d “Like to make some Coupons,” having him give you a list of jobs you can tackle.
He will then allow you to choose one of three jobs to tackle, with two of them offering an 800 Coupon payout and the other rewarding 1300 Coupons. As you likely assumed, the Kingpin one is much more challenging than the others, so you best be prepared before diving headfirst into it.
Selecting one of the options will make the others unavailable even after you complete it and speak with Boozer again. He will say that there are no available jobs left. While it is more challenging than the others, we strongly recommend tackling the Kingpin one, as 1300 Coupons is nothing to sniff at in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl!
A Job From Boozer: Meddlesome Tourists Walkthrough
If you selected the “Deal with meddlesome tourists” option when speaking with Boozer, you will have to head to a Ruffian Camp west of the Slag Heap. It’s quite far out, so follow the blue waypoint across the desolate fields until you come across several people standing near a campfire in the middle of the forest.
There will be roughly five to six Ruffians here that you must eliminate, which shouldn’t take too much effort, especially if you have adequate healing supplies and ammunition. There’s also a decent amount of coverage here, so use it to your advantage. Take cover, pop out, and pick a few off, then dip back into cover and repeat the process until they’re finished.
With the Ruffians eliminated, make your journey back to the Slag Heap and speak with Boozer again to let him know that the freelancers are taken care of, having him hand over 800 Coupons for your efforts. Simple, right?
A Job From Boozer: Punish Some Thieves Walkthrough
Choosing the “Punish some Thieves” option will give you a similar mission to the Raffian one above, having you make your way to a camp deep in the woods in order to eliminate a small group of Thieves. If you accept this job, head south from the Slag Heap and follow the blue waypoint for a very long time until you reach their camp.
When you reach their camp, you will notice about five of them standing close to each other, allowing you to open up on them before they can spot you. They will be on high alert from here, but there are only about seven to eight of them, so you should be fine if you get a few of them with your opening ambush.
Use the large objects in the area as quick cover, pop out, and finish off the rest. From here, head back to Boozer in the Slag Heap—it will be a long walk back—and speak with him to confirm you took care of the crooks. As promised, Boozer will give you 800 Coupons for completing the job!
Please note that this job is the longest to complete out of the three based on the distance you have to travel to the camp and then all the way back to Boozer. If you don’t want to tackle the Kingpin one for whatever reason, doing the Meddlesome Tourist one is better overall, as it’s not terribly far away and pays out the same Coupons as this one.
A Job From Boozer: Take Care Of A Kingpin Walkthrough
Lastly, we have the “Take care of a too-damn-lucky Kingpin” option, which is by far the most challenging of the bunch but offers quite a bit more Coupons as a result. If you do not have a lot of ammunition or healing supplies, do not attempt to tackle this job until you do, as you will need all the help you can get.
After preparing your arsenal with ammo and medical supplies, begin following the blue waypoint to the northeast of the Slag Heap until you see a camp in the distance made up of several storage containers. While you may be able to sneak inside by going around, that’s a very bad idea, as there are about 12 to 14 enemies total inside.
As soon as you get near the place, you will likely be spotted, causing all of them to pour out, guns blazing and ready to turn you into Swiss Cheese. This encounter is rough, and you will have to use the train tracks as coverage until you eliminate a good chunk of them.
From here, try to make your way toward the front of their camp and take cover behind the large metal box, allowing you to stand up and finish the rest of them off. Watch out for grenades, as they will chuck a BUNCH of them at you periodically throughout the battle. Take cover, pop out, mow down as much of them as possible, hide, heal, repeat. That’s your only chance of survival here.
Grab Dymas Fiend’s PDA And Return To Boozer
Eliminating the final Underling of the Kingpin will allow you to search the bodies of the many people you’ve defeated, primarily Dymas Fiend, the Kingpin himself. After finding his body, loot it and snag his PDA, as Boozer will only give you the full amount if you loot the PDA.
Now that you have Dymas Fiend’s PDA in your inventory make the brisk walk back to the Slag Heap and talk to Boozer, informing him that the Kingpin has been killed. If you have the PDA, you will receive the full 1300 Coupons. If not, you will get substantially less, so grab it before returning!
