This allows them to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Chernobyl disaster and earn excellent rewards. Let’s look at the particular operation “Pripyat” in Warface, including available gifts, achievements, and a detailed mission guide relevant to 2026.

Gifts and Rewards

First, you should pay attention to the rewards for passing special operations. Players often pass them to boost their profiles and obtain unique equipment.

Weapons can be obtained separately, together with the camouflage or the skin itself. In the latter case, along with it is given and the weapon itself with a trial period of one day.

Step-by-Step Guide of Special Operation “Pripyat”

Below is a detailed walkthrough of the special operation with tips for each act and task.

Stage I: School, Pool, and Department Store

The mission starts with the main characters landing on the roof of one of the abandoned schools. They must pass through the building, defending against waves of enemies. This stage is used only for introduction and familiarizing players with the plot, so there should be no problems with opponents here. Sneaking through the offices is enough to eliminate enemies evenly and carefully.

In one of the corridors will appear not only hostile Blackwood agents, but also infected zombies. It’s enough to take cover and get rid of them with a barrage of fire. Medics also use shotguns to fight them off and heal allies when necessary.

The next checkpoint is in the school gymnasium. As in the previous hallway, it is enough to take good cover with the whole team and fight off all the waves of enemies. New enemies appear here as flying drones, “Medusa,” flying into the building through holes in the roof. Positioning yourself directly under them is recommended to eliminate new enemies quickly.

The swimming pool is the first location of the first act. This is the first difficult place; many beginners leave their attempts here. First, you must bypass several punishers, turrets, and waves of simple enemies. Use the street shelters for protection.

After entering the second building, you need to go to the second floor to the room with the pool. First of all, here, you need to distribute the positions between the team properly:

• Most of the team takes cover behind the large crate on the left side of the entrance. Two stormtroopers, who will control the room’s left and right sides, and a support medic are placed here.
• One player takes cover under the stairs in the center part of the room to hide from enemies and be able to target them in the head.
• The last player occupies another crate to the right of the entrance. This is where the most difficult enemies will break into the room; they must be eliminated before entering, so the position is for the most effective shooter.

In total, you need to survive three waves in the pool:

1. A simple wave with Blackwood stormtroopers filled the room through the windows.
2. This is a complicated wave, with different types of enemies entering the room from various sides. Controlling all the entrances and preventing a decisive breakthrough is essential.
3. The most complex and most extended wave. There will be a lot of turrets on it, but it is ineffective to break only them because new ones will appear, and the wave is limited only by time. Getting rid of the usual enemies first and then moving on to the turrets is more effective. But you need to be careful, as the latter has a very high damage.

The next task is to get to the department store. The tactics are the same as those for the path between the school and the swimming pool: do not go far from the road, use shelters, smoke, and stun grenades, and gradually reach the goal. The same recommendations apply in the department store, where you must climb to the roof.

On the department store’s roof, it will remain to destroy several turrets and meet the first boss, a helicopter. He moves around the building clockwise and regularly calls for helpers on jetpacks. There is no point in shooting only at them, as they will appear until the helicopter is destroyed.

It’s best to spread out by task: two shoot only the helicopter with rocket-propelled grenades, the rest get rid of the infantrymen. As in all stages, it is important to use cover.

Stage II: Laboratory and Hotel

In the next act, you must find and destroy the Blackwood bunker. The path itself does not differ from the previous ones. But at the entrance to the laboratory, you will have to perform unusual tasks.

Players will meet several energy barriers. Behind them are enemy turrets that interfere with the passage. The shield is briefly disabled when hit by a projectile from grenade launchers. Distributing the roles on the team is necessary: someone turns off the barrier, destroys the turrets, and defends the team. You should not forget about shelters.

In the laboratory, you will have to eliminate new Blackwood androids. When destroying SEDs, it is recommended to follow the following tactics:

• try to get the enemy on his feet and deal significant damage with cold weapons;
• use S&W Survival Tanto knives, but don’t do more than one enhanced strike at a time;
• do not stay close to each other, as there is a high risk of not only dealing damage to allies on high difficulty levels but also falling at the same time from a massive boss attack;
• use the time when the SED has fallen off his feet to recover and regroup;
• in difficult situations, you can hide well: if the SED doesn’t see enemies for a few seconds, he will become inactive.

The stage will end in an inn, and the approach and passage will be built on the same principle as in the lab. But the players will finally be met by an elevator that activates the final act.

Stage III: Blackwood Tower

The last task of the Warface team in the special operation “Pripyat” is to climb to the top of the Blackwood Tower and destroy the main boss. At the stage with the elevator, the recommendations are classic: control the entire circle around the team, use cover, and do not forget about the opponents’ weak points. At the top of the tower, a considerable boss awaits the players – a battle fortress, “Mantis,” with rocket launchers and shields. Tips and Tactics:

• The energy field of the object is turned off for a few seconds with grenade launchers, similar to the defense of the laboratory and hotel;
• it is not necessary to liquidate only the help summoned by the boss, as it is infinite, but it is required to provide a decent defense against it;
• in total, three grenade launchers for three fighters will appear on the roof; they will be engaged in the destruction of the boss, and the rest will provide cover;
• the first grenade launcher removes the defense field; the others deal damage;
• It is recommended that shelters and dislocation be changed only when the Mantis changes its position.
