Hell everyone,

So here's my problem : this mission is given to you by Sultan, you have to raid a stalkers camp for the bandits BUT you can side with the stalker by giving the info to the Beard...and that's where everything messes up.

Indeed, after talking to the Beard, it starts another mission (called The Transaction) which is supposed to trigger AFTER The Hit (I didn't help Spartacus to get rid of the bandits).

The only mods I use are : ABR, AtmosFear, AbsoluteNature and Realistic Weapons so only graphics overhaul, nothing that adds new stuff (quests, NPC, weapons...).

Thanks in advance

I've also had this mission glitch out sometimes.

My only advice is to reload an older save, and then:

talk to Sultan --> talk to Beard --> go to the Ship where the hit takes place the next night and kill the bandits, don't complete any quests in between.

I'd have recommended ABR 1, but you are already using that one..
Did you install AtmosFear, Absolute Nature and RW on top of ABR? If so, try with just ABR. I experienced way more problems when I manually installed Atmosfear, Absolute Nature and Arsenal Overhaul compared to using only ABR.

If you can't complete The Hit it sucks because it affects the whole Stalker questline, hope you can make it work the next time around :-)

Well I solved the problem by restarting from scratch using only the Complete mod and, despite 2 crashes, everything went smooth (even though, again, Spartacus was not at the Skadovsk...).

I also had the surprise, using the Complete mod, to start with the regular equipment (a shitty AK and a Sunrise suit) while using "only graphics enhancements" I started with a leather jacket and a sawed-off shotgun (!?).
