Adinan Cenci Published: Updated:

I was having difficulty finding things to do on Call of Chernobyl but eventually I came up with this challenge. It is quite hard, I myself have not yet managed to complete it. Hopefully people will find it entertaining, make their own spin of it, etc. So, to the challenge:

This is a challenge for Call of Chernobyl players. Scour Pripyat Outskirts for what you need to make the journey, once you acquired a sleeping bag and got yourself well equipped, leave. Either through Pripyat underground or Radar, after reaching a safe heaven such as Yanov station or the Army's Warehouse, you win.

Objectives

  1. Spawn at Pripyat Outskirts
  2. Find a sleeping bag
