Lebedev instructs Scar to go there as Strelok might have visited Sidorovich for business. ![]() In Clear Sky, the Cordon is the second location visited by Scar in his search for Strelok. Mercenaries also briefly appear at the Cordon, during a side mission that requires the player to repel a mercenary attack on the rookie village. The Loners are present in the Rookie village and the Northern farm, while the Bandits establish a permanent presence at the Vehicle station. Most of the area is under control of the military, which operates mainly from the southern checkpoint, but also from the collapsed bridge where Major Kuznetsov and his men are stationed. Mutant presence within the area is limited to mostly blind dogs, boars, fleshes, pseudodogs, and bloodsuckers after retrieving the Documents from Lab X16. In Shadow of Chernobyl, the Cordon is a relatively calm area. The Cordon doesn't play any further role in the storyline except if the player is still investigating Strelok's whereabouts, as the player is instructed to speak to Guide after their trip through Lab X-16, at the place where they initially found Fox. He can be shown the documents, and provides a new mission that requires the player to steal documents from the military checkpoint. Later in the story, Sidorovich instructs the Marked One to return to the Cordon after acquiring the Documents from Lab X18, part 4, as the military has taken control of the surrounding area. He also tells the Marked One about a stalker named Fox, who might know more about Strelok. After successfully completing his mission, Sidorovich tells more about the stalker named Strelok and Barkeep's investigation into the Brain Scorcher, and asks him to steal documents from the military at the Agroprom Research Institute. Sidorovich instructs the Marked One to rescue a stalker named Nimble from a group of bandits with the help of a fellow stalker named Wolf. The still unconscious Marked One is taken to Sidorovich's bunker where he comes back to his senses shortly afterwards. It is where the Marked One awakens after being rescued by a unknown stalker from the wreckage of a death truck. The Cordon serves as the starting location in Shadow of Chernobyl. Main article: Cordon (Shadow of Chernobyl) The Cordon as a game location appears in both S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. The bridge serves as a military checkpoint during the events of Shadow of Chernobyl, but it can be bypassed through a tunnel that goes underneath the railway line in both games. The area is divided into two parts by a railway line and its associated bridge, which collapsed some time after an emission. At the northern end of the Cordon is another, smaller military checkpoint which connects to the Garbage. The southern end of the Cordon is delimited by a military checkpoint which marks the boundary between the Zone and the outside world. ![]() From the main road stretches a smaller, dirt road which extends westwards to a road tunnel leading to the Dark Valley. ![]() The surrounding area is comprised of various hills, abandoned buildings, farmsteads and industrial sites. The Cordon is a rather compact area centered around a single, main road that connects the northern and southern ends of the area. Depending on the revision, however, it can be either collapsed or still intact. The single defining characteristic of the Cordon, present in all revisions, is the railroad bridge in the center of the map, dividing it into two halves. Most rookies stay at the Rookie village north of the actual military cordon outpost until they have enough gear and experience to head deeper into the Zone. Stalkers often refer to the Cordon as the Zone's antechamber. The Cordon is the outermost edge of the Zone, guarded by the Military and therefore quieter than most other areas.
