The main storyline tells about the most closed group in the Zone - “Mercenaries”. What goals the Mercenaries pursued, with whom they were associated with their last task and what their actions led to - the main character learns as he approaches the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. You will have to visit the Mercenaries' base, communicate with the leader of the group, find out how Scar became a mercenary and what he did, but for this you will need to go a very long way. Stylistics of narration in the detective-investigation genre.

The faction war is not turned off (after all, this is the “trick” of the Black Ops) - it is woven into the plot.
