S.T.A.L.K.E.R - A Zone Tourist's Delight

This ARMA 3 scenario contains strong language and scenes of horror, intense themes of survival - as well as highlighting of the grim realities of the Zone.

This game has language that reflects recent opinions and phrases relevant in Ukraine today. Regardless, try not to read into everything too deeply.


This scenario was tested on ultra high settings - for the BEST experience, you may have to lower your graphics to high or medium. Keep effects and music all the way up. Also, the beginning will lag for a little bit until all the animations and script triggers properly render. Performance will significantly increase once you leave the primary hub.


This is a scenario I threw together primarily for a friend's birthday. (Hello Doc!) There will likely be a multiplayer update in the future. Take advantage of the save system and try to follow some NPC advice wherever possible. Keep your radio equipped and read the STALKER inspired radio/pdf driven dialogue. Don't fire randomly in the starting area (just yet, there will be a small situation where you will be able to with your silenced pistol) to avoid spooking the AI and breaking triggers.

Due to Arma being Arma, some ♥♥♥♥ might not work. All in all, you're one tough Stalker and you can take some damage before dying or being rendered permanently unconscious. Picking up artifacts will also cause some minimal, but manageable damage.

Feel free to save scum. The save system actually seems to work pretty well.

Early in the game, you will be experiencing the turmoil that many Stalkers face every day in the Zone - the terrain itself. You will be exhausted, but preserve and find a vehicle if at all possible. (There are several, study your map if you have to, but definitely listen to NPCs)

I personally deeply recommend playing this on veteran difficulty for the best experience. (And of course, the highest possible graphic settings.)


The Zone has changed. Some factions barely exist as it is. In recent years, the Ukrainian government has modernized its forces and no longer are Military Stalkers clandestine forces that operate within the Zone. A temporary, fragile alliance has been struck between the Ukrainian military and numerous Stalkers of the Zone. Remnants of the Loners, Mercenaries and Ecologists work closely with the Ukrainian Spetsnaz. This has become a necessity, given the rapidly changing situation in the Zone.

Several new groups have come around, to take temporary "interest" in the Zone and its artifacts for quick, easy pay. The Zone has become a playground for foreign mercenaries, who wish to fund operations around the world by working in the Stalker "gig economy". These are not true Stalkers, but "Tourists". Many believe the Tourists to be numerous Western and Eastern Private Military Companies working in a joint contract. Others suggest that The Tourists are Russian Special Forces.

Either way, they are not the only Tourist here.

You are a veteran Spetsnaz, but a new Military Stalker. You are the tip of the spear in conventional special military operations. You have trained with everyone from Polish GROM, German KSK, US Navy Seals and even the British SAS. You have several operations under your belt in occupied territories and you have survived the harshest of survival drills. But this is the Zone, it is time to put all of your training to good use.

Let's hope your time in the Kyiv command living the good life with the boys did not make you soft. You have been deployed to the Coalition's provisional base, due to the worsening conditions at the Army Warehouse. You have a lot of ground to walk, a lot of soil to march over - as well as valuable blood you must protect. Contact the commander by the fireplace and learn your mission details.

You're among the best in the conventional world, but the Zone is a man made hell.

Now, get out of here Stalker! And learn to embrace the Zone and its miracles... and its terrors. Otherwise, the Zone WILL kick you out!

1.) walk outside
2.) gear up if you want to
3.) find a guy at a fire place
4.) assign yourself to the primary task
5.) find the prisoner bay
6.) interrogate the prisoners
7.) retrieve a vehicle
8.) find the bad guys
9.) ???
10.) Profit!

• READ everything
  
• Take advantage of the speed acceleration in single player
  
• Sit down and rest often
  
• Don't break the scripts by shooting something unprovoked near the base
  
• You will encounter some gunfights, just be patience - you might wish you didn't
  
• You have significant advantage in training, enemies are 50% less likely to hear or see you as they would normally in Arma
  
• You're a pretty tough guy, but be sure to maintain your health even if you have to dip out of a fire fight for a moment
  
• Cheers, big ears!
