List of Contents

STC Malachite is located within the Malachite region west of Rostok. From Rostok, head west and cross the bridge to the next island until you reach the Malachite Checkpoint. Head west from there to reach STC Malachite.

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?

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.

You can use the Malachite Pass to enter the STC Malachite Base. There are two ways to obtain the item: complete the For Science! side mission or pick it up as a loot from the corpses in Maze.

STC Malachite is occupied by the Ecologists. These are a group of government-funded researchers who believe that science can fix all the wrongs that have emerged from the Zone.

There are two traders, one medic, one guide, and one technician in STC Malachite.
Note that the trader icon for Viktoria Dorozhnyuk will not appear upon first visit as it will display a side quest icon. You can still trade with her regardless.
