Developer and Community Notes

The creator of this guide, DOGE DEAF, shared some insights:

• They love the game and hope for more content in the future.
• Regarding the 'Red October' achievement, 3 Alionka cards are sufficient for the requirement of killing 15 enemies. Chirpers are only necessary if you didn't collect 70 in the main story or if you want the associated information.
• The Klusha handle is found in the swamp area before reaching the lab where you acquire the Secateur.

Community member 'acowsik' also chimed in with valuable tips:

• There are a total of 5 Alionka cards and 10 Chirpers within the DLC.
• When playing on Armageddon difficulty, the Alionka is particularly crucial for the final boss, especially in phases 2 and 3. Using 3 cards on earlier enemies and saving the last 2 for the boss is a viable strategy for the achievement.
• The Klusha handle blueprint is obtained earlier than expected, even without the expanded storage blueprint.
