Stalker 2 Guide: Kill or Knock Out Pripoy (Solder)

Pripoy is one of the plot characters in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart Of Chornobyl, who can meet you several times during the game. However, this is only possible if you decide not to kill him at the first meeting. In this small guide, we will tell you whether it is worth saving Pripoy's life or better to get rid of him.

To do this, you need to start the story quest «Behind Seven Seals». Reaching the «Sphere», you will have to decide how to deal with the military: engage them in battle or try to sneak into the distant building. In any case, you will need to descend to the underground levels, where enemies will be waiting for you. Eventually, you will run into Pripoy.

After a long cutscene, the man in the sweater will try to attack Skif again, for which he will get punched in the face several times, and the player will have a choice: kill him or knock him out. This is quite an unpleasant choice, considering that at that moment we do not know what consequences may arise.

However, the consequences are already known. If you decide to kill the guy, it will not negatively affect the plot. You will simply get rid of him and continue your journey. But if you decide to spare his life, you will be able to use a small but useful bonus in the future.

After a dozen game hours, you will start the quest «Wasp's nest», where the aforementioned character will appear. His sole purpose of appearing will be to help you in one of the bloody battles. In this fight, with this character, defeating enemies will be much easier than if you were alone.

Thus, if you decide to spare Pripoy, you will meet him again only after a long time and many completed locations. Your choice at the moment of meeting him will affect the further passage of the game: sparing will make the future quest easier to complete, while killing will not bring significant benefits. Therefore, it is recommended to keep Pripoy alive, as this has no negative consequences and can help you in the future. Ultimately, the choice is yours, but sparing this character's life can make your game experience more interesting and less difficult.
