Where to Take the Quest “Weakness of the Farmhand”
Batrak is a member of the “Frontier” group. These stalkers believe that the zone can not be mindlessly exploited, take on the function of its defense,e and protect humanity from it. Ideologically, “Frontier” is similar to “Duty” from the Stalker trilogy. To unlock the quest “Weakness of the Batrak”, you need to complete several quests of “Frontier”. The chain starts with Godun at the faction’s base. He will ask you to mop up the mutants on the location. Next, you will be introduced to other members of the faction, including Batrak.
To access Batrak’s Weakness, complete the quests of other members of the Rubezh: Plate, Green, Executioner, Yerzhan, and Yushka. On them, you need to clean locations from monsters, search for items, and communicate with stalkers. Before Batrak’s quest, there is a task from Plastinka to search for paint for gun barrels.
Before “Weakness”, Farmhand will give another quest. You need to help him pass the gunsmithing exam from Yerzhan. Stalker is hard of hearing, so the player will be able to prompt Batrak. The answers to the exam are as follows:
- 30 ammo.
- RT-20.
- L96A1.
- Naginata.
After successfully passing the exam, the stalker will issue the quest “Batrak’s Weakness”.
Where to Find Farmhand’s Journal
On assignment, Erzhan took his journal with unique content from Farmhand. Stalker hid it in a locked drawer at his place. It is located nearby, in the warehouse of the base, so you do not have to go far.
Break into the Box with Farmhand’s Journal
You can’t get into the warehouse of the Rubezh base just like that. Another member of the Yushka group guards the door. Talk to him about Yerzhan. He will say that he does not like him and is ready to help but for a vodka bottle. Give the alcohol to the stalker; he will launch you to the warehouse. Find Yerzhan’s crate and start breaking into it. The correct sequence of lockpick turns:
- Left.
- Right.
- Left.
- Right.
- Right.
- Right.
The crate will open, take the journal, and give it to Batrak to complete the quest. Completing this quest does not open access to the more difficult Rubezh quests. You need to complete one more quest for the Butrak:
- Talk to him and learn that Squirtle is ridiculing Hippy, which may lead to conflict at the base.
- Talk to Komelkov. He will tell you that Yerzhan can besiege Skvorets. Go to him.
- Yerzhan is satisfied with the fact that you have trained Batrak in weaponry and agrees to help.
- Go to Skvorts and threaten him with Yerzhan. He’ll promise not to hurt Hippy. Then, tell him and Batrak the good news.
- Talk to Plate to start painting the weapon.
The quest chain for the introduction to Frontier has been completed. Return to the stalker and tell him that you helped the faction. He will send you and your team to help the military stalkers.
