“Amateur Radio” in True Stalker is an additional task in which the player will have to find an electric lamp and a radio for the stalker-technician Harpoon. From this guide you will learn how to start the quest and where to find items.
How to start the “Amateur Radio” task in True Stalker
You can start the mission in the third chapter of the game. When you find yourself in the “Dark Valley” location and talk to Rotten, run southwest – to the stalkers’ farm.
Nearby there is a small white house, inside lives a stalker-technician named Harpoon. Having entered into a dialogue with a man, you find out that he is missing some important details, namely a radio and a lamp.
Where to find a lamp and radio
The harpoon will tell you where to look for items – in the garage at the factory, which is located nearby. We have highlighted this place on the map below.
When you enter the complex, head to the garage – it is located to the right of the complex. Inside you will be attacked by jerboas, so be on your guard.
After you deal with the animals, go around the truck standing to the right of the entrance and you will see a car with a yellow tank. Opposite on the floor there is a mattress, on it you can find a lamp.
Next, go to the end of the garage and turn right, behind the car with the yellow tank. You will find two corpses and a box with a radio in the corner. Take the item and return to Harpoon.
For finding things, the stalker will give you 4,500 rubles as a reward. However, the task will not end there. Harpoon will tell you that he needs to finish some work and will ask you to come back a little later.
Now you need to wait for a message from the stalker. When the SOS signal arrives, run to Harpoon's house. On the farm you will meet zombies – kill them.
After dealing with the monsters, eliminate the sniper, and then search his body. This way you will have a mercenary's PDA. You will find a message from the customer on the device.
Next, go to the gas station to deal with the customer. Run to the white building and go up to the second floor. Talk to Harpoon.
What to do with Harpoon: kill or leave alive
After talking with the traitor, you have to make a decision – kill the stalker or spare it.
- If you decide not to kill Harpoon, you will be transported to his house on the old farm. After this, the technician will destroy his invention, and you will not meet again.
- If you kill the stalker, you will receive all his things, including a special helmet that allows you to easily destroy the Harpoon psi emitter.
Only you can decide how to deal with a stalker. In any case, the “Amateur Radio” quest will be completed, and the decision made will not affect anything in the future.
