To get to Camp Icarus, you need to head southeast from the tower in Azimuth Station. It is recommended that you stick to the main road and go past the Ward checkpoint, instead of going straight through the Sand Mine.
The guard at the checkpoint will stop you, and tell you to go back. Show him the Ward Badge you got from Korshunov from a previous mission. Once you are inside the camp you will also unlock the Like a Moth to the Flame main mission.
Completing Like a Moth to a Flame is a required part of progressing this mission. Your choices in the aforementioned mission will drastically affect the objectives you must finish in this mission. We recommend going with the Kryvenko route, as it is a much more direct route that does not add extra steps to finding Sterev.
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| Kryvenko Route | Senkevych Route |
Sgt. Batalov, the medic, can be found at the northwest corner of the camp. While this is optional, you can never have enough of free stuff in the Zone.
Part of the Senkevych Route of the Dead Frequency mission requires you to find two teams that have been cut off from Icarus communications. Just visit both sites and show them your Ward Badge to show that you're a friendly sent by the captain. Get information from each team commander, and rescue them if you wish.
Echo Station can be found to the east of the Icarus base. Keep exploring the inside of the building until reach the area where you hear Shterev's voice.
Open the door and you'll find Lt. Shterev who appears to be under some psychic influence. Regardless of dialogue option, he gets aggressive and tries to kill you.
Go out of the room and interact with the switch near the terminal to activate the device.
As the device is still turning on, you will have to fight off some zombie stalkers. When the fight has ended, go back to the room where you found Shterev.
Use the computer and copy the files to get Faust's recorded message. Afterwards the mission will end.

For players without the Ward badge, the first objective would be to talk to Star at a forest shack in Zaton. He will then ask you to retrieve the sensors from a warden sergeant.
Go to the anomaly field nearby. Look for the dead body of Sergeant Orlowski inside a destroyed shack and retrieve the ward sensors from him. Afterward, return to Star and hand him the sensors.
Interact with the radio on the table next to Star when the prompt to intercept the Wardens' radio pops up.

Head to the gas station to the east and start looking for Alpha Team. Find the soldier named Krutov at the entrance to complete this objective.
While talking to each Alpha Team member, you can choose the dialogue option to kill them; either that or you can straight up just shoot them as soon as you meet them. Keep in mind that if one of their comrades sees you murdering them, they will also become hostile towards you.
Drop down the chasm outside the gas station, then loot Lt. Koptytsky's body and get the Shterev PDA.
While making your way out of the chasm, kill one of the soldiers that will threaten you.

Head south to find Bravo Team. Enter the silo and climb down the ladder.
Similar to Alpha team, you can choose to murder each Bravo team member by selecting the dialogue option to Attack them.
Additionally, if you leave the injured Bravo Team member alive and gave him a Medkit, he will give you a password that you can use on the commander later on to avoid engaging with him once you meet him.
Navigate through the tunnels to find the Bravo Team Commander, you'll encounter Bloodsuckers along the way. Speak to Lt. Kozymkov and tell him you're looking for Shterev.
The Commander will become hostile, but you can defuse the situation by saying “Titmouse” - the password that you got from the injured bravo team member earlier (if you didn't kill him).
After dealing with the Bravo Team Commander, go to the circuit breaker behind him and flip the switch to activate the backup power. Leave the tunnels after that and make your way to the Echo Station.
Go to the Echo Station and talk to Lt. Shterev inside, then kill him after the conversation.
Leave Lt. Shterev's quarters and flip the switch on the device outside. Wait for the device to finish activating while defending yourself from waves of enemy soldiers.
Access the computer to copy the files. You'll receive Faust's recorded message and the mission will end here.

| Mission Description | |
| Now I'm certain that Faust is responsible for orchestrating the attack against me. With the help of Strider, the leader of Noontide, I found out that the preacher has an ally within the Ward's Camp Icarus. If I can interrogate this man. maybe I can discover Faust's whereabouts and get my Scanner back. | |
Ok this whole game is messed up. I've noticed since chemical plant that Ward sometimes will agro even though I've never shot at them and I have their badge. But I think another faction is an enemy of mine and Ward takes their side. I also never get that guard dialogue, the gate is wide open. If I have to start all over I'll probably dump the game. The issue is we can't see our faction rep so we have no idea who we are friends or enemies with.

This is a badly written mission. Nobody would take the direction that the mission requires. Most players would be coming from Azimuth station from the northwest. There is a checkpoint outside of the northwest entrance at the fork in the road. Everything seems to be in order here. So you proceed to enter the northwest entrance and that is where you are wrong. There are no guards stationed at the northwest entrance. They are stationed on the other side, the southeast entrance. Dumb design.
