Defend The Gravel Pit

Your guide to Reinforce Clear Sky's presence in the Swamps mission in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Enhanced Edition. Learn how to complete objectives and secure the area.

Alright, so after that big Emission, things in the Great Swamp have gotten pretty dicey. The Renegades have moved in and are making a real mess of things. This next mission, Reinforce Clear Sky's presence in the Swamps, is all about pushing them back and taking back control. It's a primary mission, so you'll need to get it done to progress. ### Acquiring the Mission To get this mission, you first need to finish up the task to Go to the great Swamps with the guide. Once that's done, Lebedev will have a new set of objectives for you. ### Overview Basically, the Renegades have taken over the Great Swamp, and Clear Sky is on the ropes. Your job is to help turn the tide. While Scar might not care too much, you can't move on to the Cordon until these guys are dealt with. ### Mission Details The mission kicks off in the southeastern part of the Great Swamp, not too far from where you were during the last Emission. You'll see that Clear Sky is launching a big offensive, hitting multiple key spots. You'll get a few options, but the closest ones are the Gravel pit and the Pump station. I'd recommend heading for the Gravel pit first since it's right there. Heads up: If you follow Lebedev's advice and go straight to the Fishing hamlet, you'll miss out on a lot of the action. That means fewer chances to loot fallen enemies and grab stashes. Don't miss out on that sweet gear! There are a few objectives that might pop up under this mission umbrella: * Capture the northeast farm: This one's a bit of a misnomer on your PDA; the target is actually at the Machine yard. If you take it solo, you'll have to wait for reinforcements. * Capture the approaches to the paths to the outside world: This refers to the Southern farmstead. Even if you capture this before the Machine yard, the mission won't complete until Lebedev gives the all-clear. Once these objectives are cleared, the Reinforce Clear Sky's presence in the Swamps mission will wrap up, and you'll get the next task: Capture the approaches to the paths to the outside world. ### Notes Don't rush off immediately after this mission! The Great Swamp is still packed with optional missions, artifacts, and stashes. It's a great place to stock up and make sure your gear is in top condition. A good stash of cash will definitely help keep your equipment repaired.
