Thank you kindly, I will pay those two a visit before getting into this quest.

Unfortunately, it seems like the "Retreive the Scientist Computer" quest that Kruglov gives you is bugged. Arhara and his group are missing entirely from the marked location. I searched the surrounding area for them (or their bodies), but I found neither. Any tips on how to solve this? I tried loading an earlier save and heading there as soon as I get the quest, but the results were the same.
Also, the Military Scientific Outfit that you can buy from Sakharov is completely broken. In addition to having no description or name, it makes the game crash as soon as you equip it. I'm using the latest version of A.R.M., btw.

Yes, I already got the vodka from both of those places. Thanks for the suggestion though. I used a couple of them to bribe the bridge guards for a few runs, thinking I could easily buy more from some early trader anyway. It turns out the barman would rather sell you overpriced boxes of ammo than pouring you a drink however, and thus I needed advice on how to get enough for both of Kuznetsov's quests. It seems like even after completing those they're still quite valuable, being able to be traded directly for military equipment or used to "persuade" Stalkers into revealing stashes. I also bet there are going to be more quests involving vodka later on. I'll make sure to stash every bottle I find.

The Bandit armory had indeed a plentiful supply. Thanks a lot!

Comrades, do you have any suggestions on how to get vodka reliably? I pretty much ransacked every location till the Bar, but it's nowhere near enough to quench Major Kuznetsov's thirst. Not even the barman sells vodka!
