STALKER 2 Heart of Chornobyl How to Lure Zakhar Out
Show Sashko's gun to lure Zakhar out in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. See how to lure Zakhar out as part of the Deceive the Deceiver side quest and what to do if the quest is bugged.

How to Lure Zakhar Out

Make Sure to Take Sashko Cheery's Gun

Taking Sashko Cheery

During the events of A Big Score, you'll be ambushed by bandits upon arriving at the Car Park. In order to lure Zakhar out in the follow-up quest, Deceive the Deceiver, you'll have to loot the Spitter (a unique Buket S-2) from the body of one of the bandits named Sashko Cheery.

Akopyan, the loner you rescue during A Big Score, will also tell you to look the gun if you talk to him after dealing with your assailants. However, do note that this event is not exclusively tied to the side mission. You'll be able to encounter it without starting A Big Score by going to the Car Park, directly.

Do Not Sell the Spitter Gun to Avoid a Softlock

Make sure that you do not sell the Spitter gun at this point in the side quest as you will not be able to lure Zakhar out if you do so.

Choose the Show Spitter Dialogue Option

Head to Slag Heap and talk to Zakhar Babay. Choose the [Show Spitter] Akopyan says hi dialogue option to lure him out of Slag Heap.

How to Fix Lure Zakhar Bug

Kill Zahkar Before He Reaches His Men

There is a bug in the side quest that causes Akopyan's waypoint to disappear once you lure out and escort Zakhar to his men. This makes it impossible to complete the side quest.

A workaround for this is to kill Zahkar once he is outside of Slag Heap and just before he reaches his men. The best time to do this is when he is about to loot his stash.

Make sure to save your game before showing the Spitter gun to Zakhar so you can reload in case you encounter this bug.
