Who to show the unusual PDA in STALKER 2 comes up twice as an option, and it’s unclear what it might get you from either Colonel Korshunov or Scar when it happens. There are two different ways this choice can go however, and depending on what you want to do you can access different missions or allegiances.
I’ve been through all the options so if you want to know what showing the PDA in STALKER does depending on who sees it, then here’s all the possible combinations inStalker 2.
STALKER 2 unusual PDA choices explained
The option to show the unusual PDA in STALKER 2 first appears when you return to the Slag Heap after helping Diode. However, when you get back you find the Ward had taken over, and Diode is nowhere to be found.
Instead you’ll be talking to Colonel Korshunov and during this conversation the option to show him the PDA will appear.If you show Korshunov the PDA you’ll receive a Ward badge you can use to access the Noontide base you’re then sent to.
You’ll then meet Richter outside who’ll send you to the Sawmill where you’ll find a character called Scar you canalsoshow the PDA to.If you show the PDA to SCAR instead of the Colonel you’ll be sent to the same Noontide base but will have to complete a sub-mission called A Heavy Burden to retrieve some cargo to buy your way in.That can involve fighting a boar and a bloodsucker along the way.
In total the options here overall are:
Choose Dew or the Ninth in STALKER 2Who should you give the religious icon to in STALKER 2STALKER 2 Budmo walkthrough and whether to steal the stashesSTALKER 2 drowned gun
However, showing the PDA to Colonel Korshunov is the only real decider here.If you do that it doesn’t matter what you do with Scar, as you’ve sided with the Ward for this mission. Showing Scar the PDA after Korshunov will get you called a ‘snitch’ by one of Scar’s men, with Scar doing little more than wishing you luck and sending you on your way.
As mentioned, if you choose not to show the PDA to Colonel Korshunov and then show it to Scar instead he’ll send you to a Noontiders base, just with an extra mission to complete to get in.
If you choose to show the PDA to no one, then one of Scar’s men will stop you when you’re leaving and you’llthenget sent to the Noontider’s base with the Heavy Burden mission anyway.
