Take The Documents To Sakharov

Your guide to the 'Take the documents to Sakharov' mission in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Enhanced Edition. Learn how to retrieve the PDA and escape the Zombified Stalkers.

Alright, so you've finished up in the Agroprom Underground and are heading towards Yantar. Before you go charging in, remember Krylov is waiting for you to collect your 1000 Rubles for dealing with that underground mess. Once you arrive in Yantar, you'll find Sakharov in the Mobile Lab. It's a bit of a hotspot, so expect to help defend it from Zombified Stalkers. You won't be able to get inside until the last one is down. After you get in, chat with Sakharov to complete the 'Talk to Sakharov' mission. He'll fill you in on his deal with Strelok and the psy-emission blocker. Now, Sakharov needs your help finding some documents. He'll give you the last known location of a group of stalkers who went missing after contacting him. This kicks off the 'Find PDA with documents' mission. Head northwest from the Mobile Lab. You'll want a shotgun like the Chaser 13 or SPSA-14, and a Detector can be handy. Watch out for Blind dogs and a Psy dog. Pro tip: take down the Psy dog quickly with your shotgun before it can clone itself. Don't waste ammo on the clones – they'll just keep coming. If you're looting, start from the anomaly and work your way east. As you get closer to the building, the psy emission gets stronger. Grab the PDA from the dead stalker, and you'll complete this part, getting the 'Take the documents to Sakharov' mission. Here's where things get a little hairy. As soon as you grab that PDA, the recording plays and Zombified Stalkers will start coming at you from the north. Your best bet is to just sprint back towards the Mobile Lab. Even if you can only sprint for a short bit, keep moving past the southwest corner of the building, and you should be safe from them. Hopefully, the lab isn't under attack again. Get inside and talk to Sakharov. He'll explain how fixing the factory's cooling system can help control the psy emissions. He's already lined up a group of stalkers to help you with that. He'll call them to let them know you're coming, which wraps up the 'Take the documents to Sakharov' mission and starts the next one: 'Meet Lefty's group'. Just a heads-up, Sakharov is the last trader you'll find who doesn't buy guns, so keep that in mind.
