Wolf's razor

Wolf sends you to find his lost razor, in the tunnel leading to Darkscape.

## Walkthrough

This quest is probably your first over-the-top carnage, which are abundant in this game. The tunnel is swarming with bloodsuckers, and if you enter it, more bloodsuckers spawn. If you think that was already more than enough, about half a hundred zombies and five izloms spawn around as you approach the stash!

You have to kill them all somehow, because they won't disappear and will just aimlessly wander around, giving you troubles. You'll quickly realize that trying to shoot all these critters will make you waste unreasonable amounts of ammo. There's got to be an easier way to kill them. Luring them to Kuznetsov or Petrukha is a really bad idea, as they can get stunlocked by the zombies and die quickly. You could use Kostya who's invulnerable, but that's slow and still risky.

Now, a powerful Sledgehammer inside the Wolf's stash would normally imply a melee fight, but you'll realize it's also a bad idea. Sledgehammer is dangerous to use, because it tends to immobilize you occasionally by hitting tougher targets twice and sucking all your stamina out. Zombies are insanely radioactive in crowds. To add insult to injury, one of the zombies is explosive, and you can't easily tell which one. Besides, you'll need the sledgehammer later, in mint condition.

But there is a better way, which is grenades. Zombies are particularly vulnerable to explosive damage. You can lure enemies into a more open space, gather them closely together by running around them in circles, and throw grenades at them.

However, there's even a better way. The rightmost ledge of the tunnel can be climbed on with a crouchjump in the corner. From there, you could throw grenades at the whole crowd. So all this becomes relatively easy:

* Spawn all the bloodsuckers and zombies without killing anything. Sprint near them to raise them from the ground. Watch out, there's a lot of them in the distance.
* Crouchjump onto the ledge.
* Attract enemies under your feet by teasing them with pistol fire.
* Throw some grenades at them (remember to back off a bit as the explosive zombie has a decent range, and his damage ignores walls).
* Finish the rest off with a knife, Fight gloves or maybe a shotgun.

## Notes

* You can obtain 5 grenades early on for Take the information from the scout, Ask Fox about Strelok, and Master class.
* You can use gas canisters and colloidal gas cylinders found throughout the location. (at ATP, checkpoint under the bridge, inside the Electra tunnel)
* The game engine really struggles with piles of bodies on top of each other, the FPS drop can be massive. Run away far enough to switch the bodies offline, that makes empty ones (most of them) disappear. Then run back to collect the parts.
* During Collector's stash Cordon 1, the teleport on the left edge is blocked in this quest. You still can climb onto the right ledge instead.
* It's better not to waste your newly obtained sledgehammer. You'll need it undamaged relatively soon, and the next one will not be available for a while.
* The Mauser C-96 you obtain along the razor is a great early gun with the stock attached; it makes it much more accurate. You can buy the stock from Sidorovich.
* At some point in the mid-game, zombies appear once again. It's unclear what triggers it.
* If you accepted this quest, finish it before entering X-18 in Find the documents in X-18, or have fun exiting the Darkscape into an enclosed space full of bloodsuckers.
