STALCRAFT – How to Get MP-153 Shotgun

Only important information on how to get the semi-auto MP-153 shotgun for FREE.

Note

To get MP-153 you must follow this guide’s steps with EXACTNESS, or you’ll get the much worse reward.

This guide is written for people who know how to move around locations, read the dialogue before choosing an answer, and most importantly, a person must clearly follow the guide and be attentive on the “POINT OF NO RETURN” tab.

And yes… This quest avaliable only for stalkers.

I will not describe every step in this quest. I will focus your attention only on the problematic moments in the quest and on the most important moment, where you can take a wrong step and get an unwanted reward.

In case if you didn’t know, there are a large number of quests in this game, the outcome of which depends on your answer, therefore, your reward also depends on it.

Specifically, in THIS quest, dialogues do not affect the reward in any way.
This is where the player’s actions do affect.

(also smh i managed to write this guide with minimum spoilers, so if you’re a fan of story of side-quests – you’re welcome)

How to start quest

To start this quest you must to go to the “Forest” location, and go on the place marked with a green circle on the screenshot below:

After you arrive, you’ll see a house. Go in, and the quest should start. Do what the game want from you.

I will say right away that the most important moment begins with the offer of hunting.

After you get your axe, you’ll need to find 5 fallen trees, chop some wood. At first, it might look easy enough, but some players get lost and can’t find that very last tree.

On the screenshot below i marked all 5 trees with a red icons.

Shortly after you chop some wood, you’ll need to find Yan. You can find him in Forest. He appears only at midnight ~ 02:00 A.M (+2 in-game hours to spare)

You can find him inside the hole at the location, marked with a red mark.

Backpack location

The game will show you where to find Yan’s backpack, but not the exact location. Idk how, but some players still cannot find it quickly. So, i’ll leave you a screenshot how it looks and where it lies.

Look at the minimap, and search for it

Point of Return

Now it’s all or nothing

After you got invited for hunting, talk with Yan, and you’ll appear in a middle of forest. Talk with guys, move to the quest marker, and you’ll see this:

After your character heard gunshot and game changes task to “Hunting: Bullseye!” you better go away.

Just abandon the quest. Forget about it.

DO NOT approach NPC’s and DONT talk to them.

Basically you can do whatever you want. You can continue farming, or go back to the base, or simply go back to that house (avoid NPC’s, don’t forget), disconnect there, and wait.

We need to wait ~1 hour of real time.

We wait until we see this:

Better to check your PDA, is the quest still there. If it’s not – you can relax. You did everything right (didn’t you?).

Come back to that lonely house in a forest. You will understand what to do.

If you don’t know what to do next – step out of the house for 10 meters.

Well, its not the end of the world, and you still will be able to get a shotgun, even if you’ll put it in your personal storage and will never use it.

Conclusions

If you done everything according to this guide, you were supposed to get “Yan’s Murka”, semi-auto camouflaged shotgun with extended magazine and nice little holographic sight.
