"Answers Come at a Price" Quest auto-failing upon receiving quest

[StickNardoragon]

Hi,
I just reached Garbage for the first time. I wanted to go to the Bandit camp and talk to the dude, but as soon as I took the quest from the commander, the quest auto-failed and said I had killed Chornozov.
Is there a reason for this? I have never been north in the map.

I'm experiencing the same issue. After speaking to Colonel Korshunov the mission objectives "Interrogate the captive bandit (Optional)" and "Talk to Chornozem" auto-fail. This happens regardless of what dialogue choices I make.

EDIT: I submitted a bug report on the website. Hopefully they'll take a look into it.

Same issue... no matter what dialog choice I make with the colonel, the side quests to, either join the assault, or go talk to the bandit on my own, just cancel themselves a few seconds after.

I have submitted a bug report directly on their bug reporting website.
I highly suggest anyone with this issue to do the same, and also include a proper save file.

You can find your save files here:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\STEAM\SaveGames\Data


To go on with the game, I simply chose wtv dialog option I wanted, then I just went to where the bandits were, and after a few moments, they turned hostile. Once I eliminated them, the rest of the quest seems to have been able to continue normally.

Keep in mind, this seems to be similar as if I had assaulted with the Ward, but I went in alone.

Same thing here, also I tried looking it up for any possible videos to see what I was doing wrong and all i find is the quest line giving the sensors to Richter and not the Ward. So there were no videos doing the same quest line.

Same thing happened to me, the quest to talk to the captive bandit autofails, then the bandit guard is not hostile, you can talk to him, but Chornoozem is hostile immediately.After I clear the base, Korshunov said that I need to be more clean next time lol

And if I choose to join the assault, then there's no marker to find the assault group

For me, when I went to the bandit camp, no one was there except one single corpse with a PDA that only added a note but otherwise the place was completely empty. I guess I'm softlocked then.

This quest is also bugged if you complete the quest, and Chornozem's body is nowhere to be found. Some have found it on the catwalks after clearing the Depot, but he is completely gone for me. The map will show his body while I am inside the depot, but it disappears as I approach the spot where his body is supposed to be (but is not).

Tried to go to the chemical plant and the soldiers shot me during a bandit raid, spawned back at the depot. :'(

121/05/24 and the quest still bugged. i better play poe2 until they fix this game. the random enemies spawn ♥♥♥♥ was troublesome but this ♥♥♥♥ is lame.

i found a workaround that worked for me. After talking to korshunov i walked straight to the small path next to him (2 soldiers are standing there) and somehow the optional quest to talk to the prisoner did not fail automatically. i hope it will work for you too :)

[Takiro]

I had no choice but to start a new game because I didn't have a save file old enough. This time I took a different path through the main quest. When you activate the second radar instead of working for the military guys (when you have to bring back the military scanner), you get a slightly different route, a key that let's you pass the northern checkpoint and directs you to the detention center instead; completely bypassing the broken part of the main quest.

I found that if I do the "kill the mutants" quest offered by the two soldiers then Chernozem auto fails. If I don't do this, the quest doesn't fail, but I cannot then go back and kill the mutants since they've moved on. I will try to go the long way around those two soldiers and see if that works...
