How to Get Into STC Malachite Base

Acquire the Ward Badge

You can acquire the Ward Badge by showing the unusual PDA to Korshunov in the Back to Slag Heap main mission. This is a preferable action because acquisition of the Ward Badge grants you access to Ward Bases, and it provides an easier progression of main missions in terms of objectives.
Should You Show the Unusual PDA?

Bribe Heikkinen

If you want to visit STC Malachite base before the Back to Slag Heap mission, all you have to do is find Heikkinen in the same room where you find Viktor Kishka. You can bribe him for entry into STC Malachite for a hefty fee of 2000 coupons.
