Meet Up With Diode

Slag Heap From the Plant Map Vie

After Diode contacts you and tells you to meet him, make your way back to the Slag Heap, directly west of the Plant. Go to Diode's usual spot and Sgt. Metlov will tell you that he is on the second floor.

Get Up to the Second Floor

Skif Interrogation

Head to the first floor and open the first door on the left. You will initiate a conversation with Col. Korshunov, a cutscene will play, and you will be prompted to make a choice. You can show them the unusual PDA or choose not to show them the unusual PDA at all.

Leave the Slag Heap

Leaving the Slag Heap
Go back to the ground floor, and you will see Richter hollering at you. Follow Richter outside and exhaust his dialogue to progress the mission.

Get to the Sawmill

Arriving at the Saw Mill

Go to the Sawmill, marked on your PDA Map southeast of the Slag Heap. Once you get there, you will hear Kogut and Scar talking on the radio, letting you in.

Talk to Scar and Make Your Choice

Talk to Scar and you will eventually be prompted to choose whether to show or not show the unusual PDA once again. The mission will end after you make your choice.

Choices
Show the Unusual PDA Do Not Show the Unusual PDA

Show the Unusual PDA

Showing Scar the Unusual PDA
Scar and Star will express their distrust towards you — Star will even call you a snitch. Scar will tell you to do as you please but follows it up with a foreboding, '...but watch your head'.

Do Not Show the Unusual PDA

Not Showing Scar the Unusual PDA

Scar will tell you that it was nice to know you and thank you for your help.

Back to Slag Heap Rewards

Mission Rewards

Rewards
If you showed the Unusual PDA to Col. Korshunov and Dr. Dalin:
・Ward Badge
・3000 Coupons (Stalker Difficulty)
If you gave the Ward Sensors to Richter in A Needle in a Haystack:
Combatant (Unique AKM-74S)

Do note that if you sided with Zotov and gave the Ward Sensors to him during A Needle in a Haystack, you will not be eligible to get the Combatant assault rifle. Unfortunately, since you've already met Korshunov, he won't offer the AR as a reward for cooperating with them during Back to Slag Heap.

Mission Description
Trusting Varan was a mistake. He was gonna screw me over all along, and his captive will never talk again. Nevertheless, I did uncover something useful after all: the captive had an unusual PDA that the bandits overlooked. I need to show it to Diode. As a tech, perhaps he can tell me who in the Zone might be using these things.
