Help the Duty checkpoint is a storyline task featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.

“

Hello, the Duty faction is speaking from the Garbage. There's a wave of mutants going from the Dark Valley towards the bar. We guarantee our gratitude to all who will help kill off the scum. On the word of the Duty. - Detailed task information

”

Overview

• This side mission is automatically given to the player once they reach the very top of Garbage.

1. Kill the boars
2. Talk to the Duty commander.

Kill the boars

• The player will need to eliminate 6 Boars that spawn just down the road from the Duty Checkpoint (just behind the fallen tree next to the road).

Talk to the Duty commander

• Talk to the Warrant Officer located in the small hut next to the gate.
• Talking to the officer will end the mission task in all currently known versions and potential refusal for progression onwards to the Great Metal Factory may be accepted.
• However, from v1.4000 onwards, there is a subsequent dialogue with the Warrant Officer that allows two progression options. See relevant notes section below.

Notes (v1.3003)

• Due to the fact there is no tangible reward, it is more advisable to simply let the guards to take of the mess themselves.
• The lookout tower located behind the building is a good place to run up to while the boars assault the checkpoint (if you want a good shooting point)
• On the other hand, if the player kills two or more of the mutants, not only will the +20 relation points be gained, but this company of Dutyers will probably become friendly towards the player in advance of the whole faction becoming so inclined later on.
• Although the reward is +20 factional points, the process seems to be buggy. Successful completion may result in more or fewer points being accrued.
• Just avoid grazing any troopers in the process.

Notes (v1.4000+)

• Instead of "I see" and "I'll be back!", the player is also offered passage for a price of 20000Ru.
• Clearly, so early in the game, this could be ruinous and the player has an option to mildly bitch about it: "That's much, but it's worth it." or honestly plead penury: "I don't have such money."
• The Warrant Officer if prompted with the second choice will offer a mission to clear a local mutant infestation of Boar and Fleshes lying to the south west.
• If taken, the previously completed Help the Duty checkpoint mission is reactivated with the two objectives of "Kill the boars" and "Kill the fleshes" located within a broad map spot north west of Yurik's start location.
• Once completed and reported upon, the gate to Rostok will open for the player, ahead of time.

Trivia

• The quote differs from what the player 'hears' when approaching the area.
• If taking the 'cleaning' job, there will be seven to nine Boar and half a dozen Flesh.
