Players can discover plenty of side missions in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl by simply interacting with NPCs in the open world. One of these NPCs is a stalker named Mytryk, who asks Skif to retrieve his gun from the underground tunnels infested with Rodent mutants. Although the quest seems straightforward initially, it quickly becomes a tale of deception once Skif unearths new evidence while on his quest to recover the weapon.
