Bring artefact

 is an optional side-mission featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.

"Our mechanic, Kulibin, asked for a fancy detector: apparently, he wants to experiment with it, haha! Well, if he pays - why not. Will you bring it? We'll pay generously."

Overview

 * v1.4002+:


 * The side missions in Lost Alpha are largely symbolic, reward the player far more frugally than in the base game, and detract from the game generally. Why would a player hunt an item and offload it for a pittance? By LA standards, Mole pays really bad money for less than easy work.
 * This is the only such mission of this type given by Mole that repeats.

Trivia

 * v1.4002+:


 * It's more pointless 'runaround' at the behest of the devs.
 * v1.4007:


 * It's a well paid mission if the player received the 'free' detector from Petrenko or obtained one from a stash (Recruits' forfeit)
 * There are no 'reputation' or 'rank' consequences coded in v1.4007.
