Snake (Zmey / Змей) is a character who appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. He is also briefly mentioned in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

Background

Snake is part of Topol's team, which consists of a total of four Loners who carry out jobs for the Ecologists.

Appearances

Call of Pripyat

Snake and his team can be found outside of the scientists' bunker in Yanov. The player can escort the whole team during several quests, as Black and his team curiously refuse to assist them. After all related missions are completed with the full team alive, they become the Iskra Scientific Research and Investigation Team.

At first, Topol and his team are equipped with a normal Sunrise suit and fairly standard weapons. If the player assists the team and finishes all of the Ecologist quests, they will become part of the Ecologist faction itself, as a result getting better equipment. Snake upgrades his armor to a SEVA suit, and upgrades his gun to a TRs 301.

Heart of Chornobyl

Snake is mentioned by Scar during his rant about the origins of Spark. Snake was present during the attack on the Chemical Plant by the Ward. After Topol and Mace were killed, Spirit and Marshal attempted to escape through the workshop. At that time, a second assault squad burst in, but were met by Snake, who threw a grenade and eliminated them. His last words were "Thieves rule and Wardens drool!".

Snake later appears in a video showing Marshal's memories.

Related missions

• Intermittent psy-emissions: Hermann hires the player to accompany Topol's stalkers into the Northwestern Tunnel and investigate the origin of the psi emissions.
• Anomaly research: The player is hired to provide cover for Topol and his men as they take measurements in two anomaly fields.

Trivia

• Before Snake has new equipment, the player can engage in conversation with him and can even trade with him. He has 5000 RU in his inventory so he would make a decent place to sell ammunition and grenades. After Snake receives his new equipment, the player can no longer talk to him.
