( Note for number 8: You will find a lot of artifacts, and you need to take them and sell them to make money. Find artifacts with your detector in the various anomalies around Zaton.Don't equip the artifact, because you will get irradiated. Since you already have a Bear Detector, he will reward you with an Fireball artifact. Go to the Boiler anomaly,and help Petruha.Accept the Dredge Station mission from Beard.Return to the Skadovsk, but be aware, because there might be zombies around.Accept ' The Hit' mission from Sultan, and do it.Immediately go to Skadovsk and buy a Bear detector.Although, this loadout is better than the loadouts of the 2 other S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, it's still insufficient for surviving the horrors of the Zone. To start off, you are given a PMm, an AKM-74/2U, an Echo detector, a Sunrise suit, a few medkits and bandages, an Anti-rad, some food, bullets for your firearms, and some grenades. This is just one way, but you can add another way to start this game. This is a little guide for any novice, that has started playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
