Storyline
(Refer to Darkscape for the previous of the storyline section).


 * Upon entering the area, Barkeep will contact the player, informing them to head to a near by Duty officer by the name of Dima located in the Factory Village. This will give the player the storyline mission "Meet the duty leader".
 * Note: This mission has to be completed in order to finish Sin's mission chain.

Find the documents for Sin:
2: Find the secret lab and retrieve the documents:
 * 1) Go to Rostok Factory via Garbage
 * 2) Find the secret lab and retrieve the documents
 * 3) Take the documents to Veles.
 * As the player cannot enter the lab at this time, the storyline shall continue with the duty mission chain below."Barkeep sent me, said you had some sort of mutant problem?"

- Strelok to Dima on mutant problem

Meet the duty leader.
"Marked one, go and meet the duty guys in the village, they need help with a mutant problem."

- Barkeep


 * The objective location is marked upon the player's mini-map.

Help duty reclaim their HQ.
"Here's the deal. Get a gas mask, go in there and kill whatever is left of the bastards. About four of them. My men have seen them at the construction site and our headquarters. Retrieve the PDAs off my three fallen fighters and I'm sure I can return the favor, somehow."

- Dima

<!-- 1: Get a mask: 2: Find the three pda's:
 * 1) Get a mask
 * 2) Find the three pda's
 * 3) Kill the bloodsuckers
 * 4) Return to the duty leader.
 * To start with, the player must head to the top right hand corner of the map and visit the Ecologists' Tunnel. Head inside and talk to the Ecologist located in the train-car to gain the gasmask.
 * Note: Should the player feel a single gasmask is not enough, both Ecologists have 1 gasmask on each of them for trade (but at a steep 1000RB in price).
 * After acquiring the mask, the player will then need to head to the center of the map and enter the factory grounds via the front entrance. Upon entering, a small cutscene will play whereupon Strelok finds the body of one of the missing officers.
 * Note: After the cutscene has finished, a Bloodsucker will spawn in front of the player and attack. Be ready before entering the grounds.


 * Head toward the Factory Construction Site, located near the entrance to the grounds and proceed inside via its only entrance. The first PDA can be found on the 3rd floor, lying next to another officer's body.
 * Note: Every time the player picks up a PDA a Bloodsucker will spawn nearby. Cautioned is advised.

3: Kill the bloodsuckers: 4: Return to the duty leader: -->
 * After taking out the bloodsucker, the player will then have to head to the roof of the building. The body and PDA can be found in the top left hand corner off the roof, lying near the partially finished staircase. After picking up the 2nd PDA (and hearing the officer's last words), the player will then have to dispatch the next Bloodsucker and retrieve the last PDA from at present contaminated, Duty HQ.
 * The HQ can be found in the bottom left hand corner of the map. Before heading in, the player should make sure to equip a gasmask before they head in or suffer slow HP loss running around inside. Head to the second floor to find the last officer's body, lying in front of a window.
 * Upon pick up the last PDA, Dima will contact the player and ask them to take out the remaining bloodsucker (which has spawned just off to the left round the corner from the player).
 * Note: If the player did not kill the 2 Bloodsuckers that spawned back at the Factory Construction Site, then they will need to go back now and do it in order to progress in the story.
 * Head back to the Factory Village and talk to Dima once again in order to complete the mission chain. He will then tell the player they need to access the lab (this is also need in order to gain the documents for Sin). In order to do this, they must travel back to Petrenko at the Great Metal Factory in order to gain the code for the lab's door, also starting the next mission in the storyline chain.

Access the lab and kill the bloodsuckers
"You did good Marked One. Hell, maybe even better than my best men. The Ecologists are filtering out the deadly gases from our base in the factory as we speak. It's sad that so many were killed by those damn Bloodsuckers... I've got to warn you before I give you the key to the lab underneath Rostok: there's a sort of "Bloodsucker King" down there. That's why we sealed it off in the first place - it's a damn nest! If you're really going down there, drag that ugly bastard to Hell for me, will you? here's the key then/ They're all yours' stalker."

- Petrenko to Strelok upon key acquisition.

1: Get the key from Petrenko: 2: Get to secret lab: (Refer to X14 for the next part of the storyline section).
 * 1) Get the key from Petrenko
 * 2) Get to secret lab
 * 3) Kill the bloodsuckers.
 * As the mission points out, the player must head to the Great Metal Factory and speak with Petrenko. He will give the player his blessing to access the lab and hand them the X14 Gate Key.
 * Now the player must head back down to Rostok Factory and head toward the road behind Duty HQ. Head past the Red truck and continue down until a gap in the fence is reached, then walk through and back up in to Lab grounds. From here the player simply needs to open the gate and walk down into the lab entrance.
 * Note: The lab itself, although small is also very confined. Due to this, assaulting the Bloodsuckers can be tricky, the player should make sure they are well stocked on armour durability before entering.

Notable Loot

 * A Stone Blood artifact can be found inside the Flooded House, inside a destructible box (behind the sofa).

Trivia

 * Rostok is inspired from a factory in Kiev next to where GSC Game World's building is based.
