Trivia

 * In earlier versions (v1.30013) the password was also available from Geoff Henderson for a nominal fee, obviating the need for risking life and limb for Alex.
 * There are a handful of stashes located in the mercenary base that require dead mercenary bodies to be found. A useful method is to tow 2 fuel cans to the base and blow them up in the middle of a merc camp (preferably away from Milo), make a quicksave and repeatedly loot their bodies untill the desired stash is obtained. In particular, the Boiler cache is an excellent stash as it provides the chance to get an SVD early in the game, along with some ammo for it.
