8) Radio Interference

Follow this guide to tackle the Radio Interference mission in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Prypiat - Enhanced Edition. Learn how to find the source, deal with poltergeists, and complete the objective.

Alright, so you've just wrapped up that 'A Quiet Word' mission, and now it's time to deal with some annoying radio interference. Don't worry, it's not too bad, just follow me and we'll get this sorted.

First things first, head out to the spot marked on your map. You'll find three bodies lying around. Have a good search through them, because one of them is carrying an explosive charge. Grab it – this is important!

As soon as you pick up that explosive, you'll trigger a cutscene. Kovalsky will get in touch and tell you they've pinpointed the source of the interference: it's at the Kindergarten. Sounds cozy, right? Well, not exactly. Make your way over there.

Once you arrive at the Kindergarten, you'll need to use that explosive you found to blast open the main door. After you've blown it open, don't just stand there gawking! Run around the corner to safety, then you can head inside.

Now, inside the Kindergarten, things get a bit… weird. You'll start experiencing psy attacks, so make sure you've got some decent protection equipped. If you're not sure what to use, anything that boosts your anti-psy resistance will help. Head inside, go up the stairs, and take a right. In the corner of that room, near some boxes, you'll find a stash. Grab it, but then hang tight for a moment.

A poltergeist is going to start messing with this room, popping in and out. Your job is to take it down before you move on. Once it's dealt with, head west out of the room and into the next one, then make your way to the stairs.

Be ready, because another poltergeist is going to start zipping between rooms. Deal with that one too. After that, head downstairs and follow the hallway around until you find another set of stairs going up. Climb those, and keep following the rooms until you find another Monolith antenna. This is what's causing all the trouble. You'll need to destroy it – a few well-placed grenades or some solid shotgun blasts should do the trick. Once it's sufficiently damaged, the mission objective will update, telling you to investigate some noise downstairs.

Head back down and drop through the hole you'll find. Look for a big cabinet, open it up, and you'll find a guy named Rogovets. Have a chat with him. After you speak to him, you'll automatically be zapped back to the Laundromat. A cutscene will play, and you'll learn that Garry has headed back to Yanov and won't be around for a few days. Kovalsky also wants to see you.

Find Kovalsky – he's in the next room over now. Go talk to him. Another cutscene will roll, and boom! Mission complete. Nice work!
