How to complete the Three Captains in Stalker 2

The fictional Zone, the setting of the many missions in Stalker 2, was based on the real-life Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine. Not all confrontations between Skif and the characters in the Zone will end well, but sometimes he is able to choose which side he wants to be on. Take the case of The Three Captains, for instance, where you are sent to Zaton to kill the leaders of two rival factions.

You will be able to choose a faction and obtain one of the best assault guns in the game while completing the task. Here is a guide on how to complete the quest.

Solving the Stalker 2 side quest with the Three Captors

Head to the Sultansk base in Zaton. Once inside the base, Sonya Kalyna will be waiting for you at the bar with a mission. Speak with her, and she will ask you to kill Sultan and Beard if you accept. Please go to the nearby building to find them.

The mission's updated objective lets you choose to take the position of the sniper, wherein their deaths would become easier to accomplish. You can find descriptions of both of your current options below. Any path you decide upon will end the task, though you will want to wait until the optional objective marker pops up prior to initiating in order to complete the objectives of the second option, lest the quest might bug out on you.

Completing this side quest rewards you with Clusterf*ck, one of the best weapons in the game. The following method describes how to get it.

1- Kill Beard and Sultan

Head to a nearby crane tower and locate a sniper's nest to complete the extra objective. You can find its exact location on the map as well. Climb the ladder, disable the entry's trip wire, and kill the enemy soldier. The Clusterf*ck is leaning against a window; grab it here.

The sniper can now be used to take out Beard and Sultan through the opening presented by the massive piece of broken wall of the building they are in. Alternatively, you could go in guns blazing, but you'll have to take the incoming from the enemy soldiers. Sonya will thank you and send 4,319 vouchers to Skif's PDA once you return to her after killing both.

Standing up for Sultan and Beard against Sonya (Unlocks "The good ol' days" achievement)

You can alternatively listen to the radio in the sniper's nest mentioned above. After it is finished, it will come up that Sonya had set up Sultan and Beard to fight, and neither of them wanted to.

This operation's purpose is going to change to let you choose between the two, and Sonya's warriors are going to appear now to defeat them. Go to the warehouse to see Sultan and Beard after beating them. Skif will get 5,398 vouchers from them because they are going to be really thankful.

This path culminates in Sultansk, where, after some time has passed, it would seem Sonya is going to be "taken care of" is how they so delicately put it-just a new bartender and no Sonya to speak of. The "The good ol' days" achievement will be unlocked by following this route.

We hope these steps can help you with your problem, and we wish you the best, goodbye.
