How to activate the Dead Frequency mission?
The task will proceed differently depending on which group you allied with during the Back on the Slag Heap mission. More information about the consequences of that decision can be found on the page To show or not to show the PDA?. On this page, we will focus on the mission variant where the main character allies with Star and Sparks (without carrying the Ward badge).
The Dead Frequency mission is activated automatically after completing Chasing Ghosts. The mission marker will direct you towards Camp Icarus.
If you allied yourself with Scar and the Sparks in one of the previous quests, you will be contacted by Star approximately halfway through. Your mission marker will move, and instead of going to the Icarus camp, you will go to meet the leader of the Sparks faction.
Talk to Star in the abandoned barracks. He will send you on a search for a Ward traitor. Two new points will appear on your compass - you need to check them.
How to find the Alpha Team?
Alpha Team is located west of Star's base. Look out for the ruined gas station.
There, you will meet a confused soldier. He will ask you to kill him. If you refuse, he will start shooting at you.
To find the missing unit leader, go down to the crater next to the gas station. Carefully descend down the subsequent rock ledges.
You will find the corpse at the bottom of the crater. Take the PDA.
The gorge and caves are teeming with snorks - fast running and jumping mutants. To get out, you will have to fight them.
In the tunnels you will also find a unit of wandering soldiers. They are not aggressive towards you, unless you attack first.
If you want to complete the optional mission objective, you will have to kill all the soldiers in the area.
To safely exit the cave system, always follow the right branch of the tunnels.
At the exit from the cave you will come across a soldier who, after a short exchange of words, will open fire on you. Once you kill him, you can head towards Bravo Team.
How to find Bravo Team?
Upon reaching the location indicated by the marker, enter the cylindrical building and go down the ladder.
There is a wounded soldier on the lower floor. You can give him a first aid kit. We recommend you to do this. In return, he will give you the password for the commander.
In one of the rooms, you will encounter a large group of teleporting enemies. Fortunately, only one of them is active and patrolling the area. Sneak past the mutants silently, avoiding detection by the patrolling mutant. Turn into the left corridor and go down the ladder in one of the side rooms.
Go through the corridor full of poisonous anomalies.
In the room with pipes you will be forced to fight a Bloodsucker. After defeating the mutant, go through the green door.
In the room you will find Lt. Kozymkov. To calm him down, tell him the password you received from the wounded soldier. The lieutenant will thank you for your help and send the coordinates to the Echo station.
Turn on the emergency power using the red lever on the wall.
If you did not obtain the password from the wounded soldier, you will have to kill the commander and take the PDA with the location of Echo station from his corpse.
Before you continue with the mission, run after Kozymkov. He will return to his wounded subordinate, thank you for your help, and hand you a GP37 rifle with an optical sight.
Leave the base. You can now go to Echo station.
How to activate the machinery at Echo station?
Following the mission marker, you will reach Echo station. In one of the rooms you will find Lt. Shterev.
After a short conversation the man will attack you. When you defeat him, you can go to the room with a hole in the wall and a large antenna. There is a lever on the wall. Pull it and activate the machinery.
This will lure nearby zombies into the room. Your task will be to survive the successive waves of the hypnotized long enough until the device's operating cycle comes to an end.
We recommend you not to approach the exits and eliminate single zombies from a distance, as soon as they come into view.
You can now return to the room where you met Shterev. Copy the data from the laptop lying on the table. When you do this, the mission will end.
