Quick information what to expect from this guide
First of all i`ll mark all the important thing with ⚠️⚠️NOW IMPORTANT⚠️⚠️ text, so watch carefully. Also, remember that every dialogue with Coin that i`ll show here is also important, but i won`t put that warning text everytime, because i hate spamming with the same text.

Expect to spend more than a few hours for that. You may ask "Is this worth it?"
Look at that scope, and say yourself, is it worth it?


I not gonna lie - i used that gun so much while playing at RU client before. Even tho that scope is ridicilously horrible, and there`s no way to remove it.

And, yes. You can skip everything that i`m writing here, but you`ll not get as much rewards as you could. There`s also a moment, when you get pistol or armor paint for choise, or nothing, if you f*ck it up.

What`s the quests?
First of all we need to complete 2 quests that starts on Cordon and Agroprom:
At the Cordon - Slasher`s quest, and on the Agroprom - Cheshire`s quest. After completing these two you can start third quest line - Coin`s questline, which starts at the Rostok bar.
Slasher`s questline
To start this quest - you need to find Slasher himself at Cordon`s base. There he is:

Talk with him, and he`ll ask you to kill some mutants a few times, and bring to him some mutant`s parts. Watch careful where to find Slasher, because at one moment he`ll be at Diggers base.

There`s nothing interesting in this quest, so you can speedrun it.
From that moment - you`ll see Slasher at Diggers base, and he`ll sell you some snacks with bonus stats, but the stats wipes after your death, and all of his food drops after death, so, if you want - you can buy some as a souvenier.





After you finished his quest - move to the next one.
Cheshire`s questline
After we helped Slasher to kill some pigs - we need to go to the location shown below:

Downstairs you`ll find a dead body - loot him and find who`s the owner of that crate.

On the player`s mark below we find Wheezy, who`s we need to talk with:



After a quick talk - we need to contact with Cheshire, but first we need to find his informator:




We find him, and we`re almost ready to go, but gang`s car is out of fuel, so we need to get some.

Where`s gasoline?

Down below i`ll mark all the spot`s where you can find some gasoline.



To S U C C some gas, we need to interact with gas tank`s:


⚠️⚠️NOW IMPORTANT⚠️⚠️
After we`re arrived - talk with Cheshire, and it appears that Wheezy has a guilty conscience, and Cheshire asks us to f*ck him up.
As they say, throwing the lads is not good. In addition, this way we will get a little more money, so we are chosing Cheshire`s side:



After we met our new boss - come back to Wheezy, steal his PDA, find out where`s the stash, and go rob it.
There will be bunch of enemies, so be careful in ventilation, because down there will be ~4-5 enemies.



(there`s you need to go inside that tube, in case if you got lost)

After a quick massacre we loot the box:



and we are good to come back.

And when you come back to Cheshire - he`ll reward you with some cash, 2.4x leupold sight and fancy artifact.

Also, you can visit this base any time, and you can get some quests here and even buy some ammo with medicine.

Now, we`re done with Cheshire.
Coin`s questline
To start this quest - talk with this guy:


He`ll offer us a chance to learn how to get easy money, so we need to go to the Coin guy at the Pit:


This dude will give you a lot of work. I`ll say right away - you can speedrun all of this, if you`re not interested in extra cash, loot and armor paint\pistol. But it`s not worth it to skip all these rewards, just because you won`t save much time.

Corporal Prasko



We need to sell him old MRE`s, but we shouldn`t say that the package from Coin, or he`ll won`t buy anything from us.
Check all the dialogue variants that i show below:

⚠️⚠️NOW IMPORTANT⚠️⚠️





After successful deal - come back to Coin, and choose second dialogue, something like "Experience is good, but i need money", so you`ll get your part from that deal.
(i lost the screenshot of that dialogue)

Coba



We`ve come to Coba, that is located at the Dump. Talk with him, and help him to find his friend Givi.
To find him - you need to come to the place where`s player stands on the screenshot and scan the signal:



⚠️⚠️NOW IMPORTANT⚠️⚠️

Come back to Coba, tell him that you`ve got the package


and when he asks you for 10k - decline his offer at first:


but right after that he`ll offer you some extra stuff for those 10k:


depends on what you want, you choose pistol or armor camo:
Pistol is usual Colt 1911, no camo, no attachments, just Colt.
Or this armor camo:


Nothing special, but camo is atlest somewhat unique.

Come back to Coin, and say, that you want your reward, and then tell him, that you`re unsatisfied with your reward, so you`ll get some more money.
(Yes, i lost screenshot to that dialogue too).

Tourist

⚠️⚠️NOW IMPORTANT⚠️⚠️
Come to Digger`s base and ask Slasher for some mutant part`s. I chose chimera`s claw, you can pick any, but dialogues will be different:




Now we`re looking for Tourist at the Cordon`s base. Choose what you see on screenshots:



After successful deal - come back to Coin.
You can tell him that you scammed Tourist for 15k and coin will ask you for his 5k, but you can scam him, and tell that you could not sell anything to a tourist, pocketed all the money for yourself:



Bandana

At the Fool`s Path you`ll meet Bandana:


(once again, i`ve lost the screenshots, are you surprised? xD)

⚠️⚠️NOW IMPORTANT⚠️⚠️
You need to tell him, that 90 grand isn`t enough and ask him to contact with the boss, then ask him for the price of ONE GUN.


When you come back to Coin, shake him more money from the deal:




Solenoid is a lie Solenoid is a lie Solenoid is a lie Solenoid is a lie
Solenoid

Now we need to find some caches, and that would be not a big deal, but we need to get atleast 1 solenoid, which is a little bit rare to spawn in cache.
There`s a map of all cache zones at the Pit:


(shout-out to https://stalcraftmap.ru/ )

I found more than 20 caches, before i found a guy in chat, that gave Solenoid to me.
So, if you cannot find any by yourself - ask people in chat to sell you one right at the pit. Offer few grand for that, it`s not a big money.

Dealer

Now we need to sell some kind of home-made detector to naive stalkers. But first, we need to win battle with a Dealer:
⚠️⚠️NOW IMPORTANT⚠️⚠️




And after that we can get some more money from stalkers:


Finale

After we come back to Coin - it appears that his old clients were dissatisfied with something, and they came to beat everyone's faces (I don’t even know why this is so), so we need to kill our unhappy customers, talk with Coin that this time he needs some serious security, but that`ll be much more expensive. He`s got no choise but accept your offer.

We are going to Cheshire, to ask his boys to work at Coin. He will accept your offer.
Come back to Coin, and there it is - SVD "Lynx" with horrible 6x scope and silencer.

If you pick the ghoul thingy you won't get rewarded by Tourist.

In the Coin questing line when you're picking mutant parts, dont just pick any mutant part as the guide says. If you pick the slimy mutant eye the guy will not like it and wont buy it. Pick the Claw

For anyone in 2025 onward wondering what changed, here's a general breakdown of the important changes:
Cheshire rewards: Nerfed, no sight, no Artifact. Not a big deal overall.
Coin Coba/Koba: Map changed andI honestly don't think the scanner works, but you can find Givi the Courier just northwest of the crossroads above the word Scrapyard on the map. Should be several bodies there lying in the open close to the junk pile on Bandit side.
Coin Coba reward: Paint is nice and you can get the pistol from the Barter tree, but getting it here can be a nice bonus since it can save you almost 1000 pink Resources (or over 700 Pink + all the lower stuff you put in it).
Coin Solenoid: Just buy one from Auction. They go up regularly and aren't TOO expensive and this saves you a mountain of headache/regret from selling ones before knowing you need one for this quest.
Coin Reward: Renamed to the Caracal, 13 less damage (now 67 per-bullet), slightly worse range.

Finished chesires quest, including for Lazer, Mortar and "Mastiff", I can buy from the vendor but I can't find magnate and I cant find coin

It isn't mentioned in this guide, but to start the Coin's Questline you need to find an NPC in the bar called Magnate, I found him atop the ramp on the Bandit exit side near the Researcher and Mechanic traders, he gives you a quest Financial Guru.

Sorry if this is a necro but... I finished Cheshires questline and I cannot find the NPC for coins questline at the bar, help?

What kinda fucked up Faction ballancing is this? Where is the Stalker version for this? Don´t tell me you can compare some shotgun with an SVD. Is Bandits easier and better supported because the Devs know that from home?
RektBeast 19 Feb, 2023 @ 12:33am 
Im stuck at the agroprom part the vortex is blocking the whole stairs tried prone going like in the guide still gets sucked in
Zurruck 9 Feb, 2023 @ 1:05pm 
@kalimadorun , ur are missing one of the gang members, LASER. Hi is in the car, the same car that the mercenary uses to bring u to base, well if u speack to him in agropoprm he dosent have anything for u, but if u talk to him in his base he gives u another mission, an whit that u can close the chesires chapter. BUT not im stuck because the guy in the bar never show up, and a lot of people are in the same as me
soulfur 7 Feb, 2023 @ 6:00am 
@Zurruck the same thing happened to me. I really need to know what I have to do because I really don't want to miss out on a free SVD. (the guide is good btw, thanks for it)
