The Shevchenko (Ru. Шевченко), or Taras Shevchenko (Ru. Тарас Шевченко), is a location in Zaton in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.

Overview

Decal shevchenko

Much like Skadovsk, the Shevchenko is the rusted wreck of an old tanker ship, and a landmark of the swampy region of Zaton. In Call of Pripyat, it is not a full-fledged stalker camp, but does provide good cover in case of an emission for stalkers who otherwise wouldn't make it in time to Skadovsk. In Heart of Chornobyl, it acts as a base for Beard and his followers.

Layout

The ship is much smaller, less complicated, and in far worse shape when compared to its distant relative, the Skadovsk. Largely a derelict husk, it served merely as temporary shelter to stalkers until it was converted to a makeshift base by Beard sometime between the events of Call of Pripyat and Heart of Chornobyl.

Inhabitants

Call of Pripyat

There are no permanent dwellers, only occasional visiting stalkers who, in most cases, only take refuge and cover from an Emission before moving on. At the start of the game, Spartacus and his team reside here.

Heart of Chornobyl

The Shevchenko serves as Beard's base, housing himself and the free stalkers who left the Skadovsk with him.

Appearances

Call of Pripyat

The Shevchenko is the target of the quest The Hit given by Sultan, which requires the player to assist Knuckles' team into eliminating Spartacus' stalkers at night, though the player may side with the Loners and take down Knuckles' group instead.

Heart of Chornobyl

The Shevchenko features more centrally in the plot of Heart of Chornobyl. It is the location where Skif can meet with Beard and receive several quests.
