Should you kill Solder or simply knock him out in Stalker 2’s main story mission, “Behind Seven Seals”? You might remember Solder from the prologue of Stalker 2 – he’s the guy who spoke to you on the radio, telling you where to plant the scanner you were lugging around. After it becomes clear that you were betrayed, your task is to enter the compound known as the Sphere in order to interrogate Solder.
Once you find and overpower Solder beneath the Sphere, he tells you that he was just a pawn, and a man named Nestor is the man behind it all. Then, you have the option to either kill him, or simply knock him out. But which is the best choice? Read the guide below to find out what happens if you kill Solder, and whether he’ll appear later on in your Stalker 2 playthrough if you leave him alive.
