The Get the bandit's password task is a storyline mission featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.
| “ | I wanted to ask... How can I get the password from the bandits? - Marked One |
” |
| “ | Find a gullible one, do some supply-and-demand, and there you go. - Oleg Gusarov |
” |
Overview[]
- This mission spawns and runs in parallel with the Find and wear a bandit suit after the Meet Petrenko's contact concludes (i.e. meeting with Gusarov)
- The mission spawns a dynamic map spot centered on a very drunken bandit staggering back and forth inside the Bandit Base.
- Obtaining the password from this reprobate satisfies the conditions to conclude this mission.
Notes[]
- The drunkard will stop to be questioned upon approach but will not be forthcoming with the password if the player arrives without a supply of vodka.
- The strongroom inside the base contains far more Cossacks vodka (and variants) than will be needed.
- Bring two bottles.
- The threat of violence (drawing a weapon) will also be unproductive, but could alienate all Bandits and Monolithians on the level even if the drunk is face-knifed.
- It may happen that the Bandits are hostile towards you, though you have completed Find and wear a bandit suit. The reason is usually that you had contact with the Monolith at Monolith Base before, even passing the base at too close a distance will make the Monolith and the allied Bandits hostile.
Trivia[]
- Even though it is stated that the password is changed weekly, the mission time is indefinite and the password never expires.
- There are provisions in the text files to obtain the password as a "note to self" much in similar to obtaining Borov's safe combination as an 'overheard note'. This may be a provision to avoid crashes if the player decides to execute the drunken bandit:
| “ | Note to my drunken self, this weeks password is "pizdec". | ” |
