Additional Notes from the Community:

  • There are a total of 5 Alionka cards and 10 Chirpers in the DLC.
  • For the 'Red October' achievement (killing 15 enemies with the Alionka module), 3 Alionka cards are sufficient. The Chirpers are only required if you haven't collected 70 in the main story or if you want the additional information they provide.
  • The Klusha handle is found in the swamp area, before reaching the lab where you acquire the Secateur.
  • For the final boss, especially on Armageddon difficulty, using Alionka in phases 2 and 3 is highly recommended. Using 3 Alionka cards on enemies before bead 7 and saving the last 2 for the final boss is a viable strategy.
