Dead Frequency Walkthrough

Get to Camp Icarus

Camp Icarus Location

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.

Complete Like a Moth to a Flame

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.

Get psi-pills from the medic (Optional)

Medic at Northwest Corner

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.

Find Alpha and Bravo Team

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.

Explore Echo Station

Echo Station is East of Icarus

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.

Find Faust's agent

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.

Activate the device

Go out of the room and interact with the switch near the terminal to activate the device.

Wait for the device to finish

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.

Contact Faust instead of Shterev

Use the computer and copy the files to get Faust's recorded message. Afterwards the mission will end.
