Gameplay Overview

 * As noted on the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant page:


 * The player usually arrives from Pripyat through the western portal on foot having traversed the gloom of the Pripyat Underground and most likely picked up more damage skirmishing in Pripyat.
 * There are no facilities for repairs.
 * The player will be tasked with meeting the commander of the local Military detachment prior to being offered this Main mission fork to assist them with a multistage assault on the Monolith defenders of the station (who are present in considerable strength following their retreat from Radar)
 * The player may decline to assist but the option for this Main mission fork will then be determined.
 * Part of the sequence will also involve a scripted "Mutant Attack" after the initial Monolith contingent has been eliminated, with a minor Zombified Stalker attack as previously eliminated Monolithians are reanimated.
 * The player is then escorted and introduced to the Military leader in the area, Macarov; assists their elimination of the Monolith troops guarding the door by providing support from a BTR-70 Armored Personnel Carrier and is given the door code as a reward.
 * Broadly speaking, the Military fork has more of the "feel" of a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky mission sequence than a typical Shadow of Chernobyl mission set.

Trivia

 * As mentioned on the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant page, there is no pressing necessity to take this mission fork. Other options are available to the player.
