Inquire About Clear Sky
You can choose to go to Skadovsk or Shevchenko to inquire about Clear Sky. It does not matter where you choose to go; Richter will be there and give you the same responses.
Learn About Nimble's Whereabouts From Trapper
Head southeast from Skadovsk or directly east from Shevchenko to find Trapper. You will see him using his binoculars by the ledge of a wooden lookout platform. Talk to him to progress the mission.
Note: You can optionally help him fight off the mutants after you exhaust his dialogue. There are multiple mutants, so be ready.
Get to the Snork Cave
Head further east until you reach the Snork Cave. Depending on the exact route you take, you might encounter enemies that will constantly respawn. If you do, it would be best to just ignore them and run to the Snork Cave.
Locate Nimble
Go through the Snork Cave until you hear sounds of gunfire and Mutants. Follow the noises, and you will eventually transition into a cutscene and see Nimble, who will promptly tell you to start running.
Kill or Spare Nimble
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| Spare Nimble | Kill Nimble |
Spare Nimble
If you choose to spare Nimble, you will have to ask him about Clear Sky and Faust to finish the mission. He will also give you 2699 Coupons and let you have his Saiga D-12.
Kill Nimble
If you kill him, you will have to loot his PDA and Professor Kalancha's Map to finish the mission. You won't get Coupons, but he will still drop the Saiga D-12 before the shoot out.
Note: You will miss out on receiving Coupons if you kill Nimble right away. If you want more rewards, choose to spare him first then kill him as he turns around.

| Mission Description | |
| Shterev no longer needs Faust's guidance, but I certainly do. I need to locate the ship he mentioned and find a guide who can show me the way to the Clear Sky Base. I don't know what the blind zealot is up to, but I'm going to confront him and put an end to his schemes. | |

Anonymous 12 monthsI spared Nimble for the koupons then killed him afterwards for his Saiga shotgun. Bad to the bone.
