Stalker 2 Heart Of Chornobyl – Warlock’s Debtor Kill Bandits Or Not

After the Prologue in Stalker 2 Heart Of Chornobyl, you start with your trusty pistol; however, at the beginning, the main protagonist would have a chance to get an OP weapon in the form of an assault rifle. Needless to say, you will be able to decimate any enemy from far away which makes it one of the most lethal and must weapons to own at the beginning of the game.

Suppose you want to obtain Valik Lummox’s AKM-74S, fellow gamers need to follow these simple steps as we have written in this guide. The weapon can be missed if you divert and choose to follow a different path. Still one of the most important questions would be, what would happen if you do not “Take Valik’s loot to the bandits” versus what if you “Take Valik’s loot to the bandits“? Which route is much better to take as it is an Optional task at Warlock’s Debtor?

Warlock’s Debtor Mission Kill Bandits Or Not In Stalker 2 Heart Of Chornobyl

The mission Warlock Debtor requires you to track down Valik Lummox by the Water Tower who will be surrounded by the bandits. Apparently, he has debt to all kinds of folks. Who are we to judge?

Once you reach the Water Tower located in Zalissya, Lesser Zone, the bandits can be heard from a distance who have surrounded Valik Lummox. Your mission will be updated to “Talk to the Bandit Leader”.

Choice Whether To Threaten Or Help Bandit?

Threaten

Either you can go full-on psycho mode and kill the group of bandits so that you do not have to negotiate and do their bidding. Or simply choose to side with them for the time being and gather information about the hidden stash.

If you choose to threaten and initiate a battle to quickly complete the mission, then you will miss out on the opportunity to get the stash that contains Valik Lummox’s AKM-74S assault rifle. What makes this gun special is that it has a sniper scope, unlike other guns that have iron sights.

Assist Bandits

If you choose to assist the bandits then, you will have to go talk to Valik Lummox through the window. He will tell you where the stash is placed i.e. at the top of the Water Tower. Climb the Water Tower and loot the stash to get Valik Lummox’s AKM-74S. Now, there are two choices that you need to make.

Kill Or Not Kill?

Whether you choose to “Take Valik’s loot to the bandit” or not? The choice can be made once you grab the weapon. Valik Lummox will contact you via radio and inform you that Dope will not gonna let him go. As Valik Lummox needs to stay alive according to Warlock, equip the weapon, and pull the trigger to let the bodies fall.

Once all the bandits are dead, you can loot their corpses and talk to Valik Lummox to complete the mission and get the reward Coupon which is a digital currency of the Zone. But that’s not impressive, Valik will not ask for his gun back which means the weapon will be in your possession.

Valik Lummox’s AKM-74S is missable, however, if you climb the Water Tower anytime then you can get the weapon. Even if you have selected to kill the bandits swiftly, exhaust all the dialogues from Valik to get a hint on where he had hidden the stash.
