How do I make "Military" faction friendly, please?

[Gonzo]

I recently did a 2nd playthru with both "military" and "monolith" factions unfriendly to me. This made the very end of the game a real tough slog.

I seem to remember on my first playthru that I won over "Military" -- the guys who guard under that bridge on the first map -- eventually. Stalker: SoC is so fun that I am thinking about re-doing just the last 4th of the game or so. I will start by making the Military friendly to me if possible. How...please? Thank you.

I dont think it is possible to be friendly with neither the military nor the monolith.

Yea sorry to say the military and monolith can not be made "Friendly" only in mods is it possible

[Gonzo]

Ah. Okay. Yeah, my first playthrough was back in 2012 so I was just 'membering wrong. Kind of like....

'member that time you and me was 'memberin' about the time we couldn't 'member 'memberin'? 'member?

(That's a line in a firehose song. Why do I belabor that point? Because stealing jokes is wrong. It's wrong!)

I think you remember it cuz at the bridge in the cordon, the military is not hostile.

[Gonzo]

Ah. they were hostile my whole 2nd playthru. I decimated 'em each time. Well, each time after the FIRST time maybe. Okay. Thx for your input everyone. Maybe I don't remember the end-run of my first playthru being so difficult because I had the difficulty down one notch under options. Thx again. /thread closed.

Yes. At the start of the game you can go up to them(WITHOUT holding a weapon) And ask them. It will cost 500 Rubles. But later thru out the game. They will be replaced by "Spetsnaz" Which are hostle.

I found them to be also friendly up to the endgame.

However, I believe you need to hit the quests in a certain order, such as assualting the enemy compound south of your spawn at the beginning of the game before you do some other quest that for some reason makes them friendly.

I found this to be the case after I disable the mind control device, thereafter which the military assault the compound and did not shoot me. Save for vehicles, all military personal were friendly to me.

Ah. Now, I remember. I didn't have the money to pay them but had stuff to do, of course, so we shot it out.

Man, Monolith and Military on your a** as your trying to get to (SPOILER) the Wizard of Oz or whatever was toouuuuugh. I did it without dying too much though.

I had the siva suit in the beginning part against Monolith which helped to return fire as radiation was everywhere. Then toward the tail end (just before the Wizard) I got as close to the high ground as I could, and intermixed fighting back with running away. Then, you work your way into that tucked-away building (nice oxymoron there.)

But...! The action didn't end there because the first time it seemed like a TON of enemy soldiers were in that room and just opened up on me. So, I saved-game. Went back in and got lucky. There were fewer in the atrium.

But the best part....! Was clearing out the atrium. Then...equipping the rocket launcher, because I knew the rest of would be on the other side of that little hole in the wall. I fired a rocket through that hole and I was off the see the Wizard.

I almost feel like one of those radio narrators from the 50s. "Stay tuned next week for another episode, of Rain Maker's Radioactive Quest to Mars!"

There are third party modifications that can extend the factions recruitment and as for you can be part of the scientist and be friendly or neutral to military faction.
