Tymchenko is one of those NPCs who’s battling for his life in a school building in Kopachi where players can help survive through the hoards of Snork mutants. After successfully helping him survive, you’ll also get a chance to explore the underground tunnels in the location to unearth some valuable loot.
How to Save Pvt. Tymchenko in Stalker 2
Players will encounter Pvt. Tymchenko inside a school building inKopachi POI located inside the Cement Factory regionofStalker 2. The location is just north of the Cement Factory base and east of the Slag Heap base. Once you come close to the school building in the location, Skif will receive a radio transmission from Tymchenko, calling for help.
Getting close to the building will swarm a hoard of Snork mutants from inside the building, as they’ll crawl out and start attacking the players. They’ll quickly disperse and attack from all directions, so it’s best to focus on one, eliminate it, and then shift focus to the next one.
Once all mutants are eliminated, head to the school building and turn left to meet up with Tymchenko. He will be grateful for Skif’s help and even offer a reward if asked. Players can alsoshare the fate of their companionif they have encountered his body during exploration of The Zone.
