For further documentation purposes. ..

I've been playing with the version of the PRM weapon pack that comes in-box with the installation of LA and purposefully not updating it, because it makes friendly NPCs (in my opinion) die too easily. Just something to clarify, although I'm 99% sure it shouldn't have any effect on the missions of the game.

I am able to enter Yantar normally through the Great Metal Factory Entrance, but not the Construction Site entrance. It helps that enemies don't notice you/don't know how to attack you while in a car.

Upon returning to the Mines for "Clear The Sin base with the Duty group," NOW Oleg tells me to "hide in the mines". . . which naturally occurs, because I have to go kill Sin. Upon reaching the barrier between the Mines and the train tunnel, "hide in the mines" autocompletes and "Hide deeper in the mines" automatically starts and immediately fails. It is my assumption that were you to start "hide deeper in the mines" right after completing "reach darkscape" (and therefore not having a chance to join duty) petrenko would then instruct the player to go to x-18 under more normal circumstances.

As always thanks for the help.

EDIT:

Voronin gives you the code to lab x-18 upon completion of "Clear The Sin base with the Duty group," which means picking up the 2nd Duty Intel Disc. This means you HAVE to go to Yantar under Voronin's line of quests (Showdown at the Old Mine, Find The Duty group deep in the Zone, Find the Yantar Recon Team, [in this order from my experience]) before going to x-18, if you want to play the "intended" way. Obviously I haven't done this.
