- PDA contact biography

Overview

 * Just as in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl where his squad are available for assistance in clearing the Bandits from the nearby facility, the same group are present in the Lost Alpha.

Trivia

 * He doesn't cut the player a verbal lashing if the mission is attempted as a solo undertaking. Nor is there an enhanced reward from Wolf afterwards.
 * The "wannabee Rambo" line is given to the player by Wolf in referring to assaulting the Bridge Checkpoint as a later possibility.
 * It is reccomended to recruit Petruha and his friend's services, then let them succumb to the bandit's gunfire. Petruha carries a TOS 34 that can be repaired by fox later on and will provide a better form of firepower in your early game compared to the Sawn-off Double-barrel Shotgun that Proverb gives you
