Cursed Stash?

First of all, congratulations to the Dezowave team for such an immersive game, bugs or not I REALLY enjoy playing it.

I'm in free play mode now and decided to wander around the zone visiting areas I might have not thoroughly explored during my main story play, and doing some side quests I skipped because I felt so immersed in the main plot that didn't want to deviate an inch from it. One of these quests caught my attention and since it does not show on the PDA and it's lore-based and at some point referred to as having something to do with a Cursed Stash I'll call it that way.

Got the lore about this stash from a guy in the Stalker base in Construction Site, he was standing in a room right next to the trader's and charged me 1k RU for it. Lore speaks of a long forgotten stash involving some unknown characters leaving for (or from, don't recall exactly) Countryside and a yet frustrating unknown location for either those characters or the stash itself. In one of my trips to Countryside I spoke with Hermit who's at the top of the Church (SSW part of the map) and not only did he know about the stash but also gave me the first half of the code for it (a half-torn piece of paper with just 2 numbers: 59) and told me the second half was held by a former friend of his who ended up joining the military. Right after that I headed back to the supposedly unmanned (yeah during the main story I killed all soldiers there) military outpost located on the East of the map, but to my surprise as I got closer to the outpost a single contact appeared on my PDA: Feldwebel Koslow. I thought this may be the guy hermit was talking about and tried to approach him to see if I could talk to him but as he drew his weapon I opened fire and killed him hoping to loot the second half of the code from his body and eventually getting any clues regarding the stash location: none of the latter happened.

My question is: does anybody know if this quest is bugged or incomplete? or is it just that I'm missing something?

Kind regards and see you all in the Zone :)

The code is with one of the military guys at that checkpoint. I stayed neutral with the army and just talked to him to get it.

Thank you for your answer Fry, looks like this quest is a no-go for me since I killed all military guys there, however I find it quite interesting that the guy I mentioned in my post (Feldwebel Koslow) spawned right where Lt. Orlow is standing in your screenshot.

Coincidence or a somewhat broken fail-safe in case someone killed the soldiers there before getting the quest? A question for the developers I guess.

PS: would it be too much to ask if you could PM me the other half of the code and the stash location? I would really like to see what's all this mystery about.

Thanks in advance :)

Sorry all my save games are post getting that stash, I looked through the PDA and cannot find any reference to the code anymore. Think he gives you a piece of paper with the numbers on but that's not in my inventory anymore.
