Knuckles's Gang are optional supporting characters in in the Ukrainian FPS Survival Horror video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call Of Pripyat.
A gang of bandits under the leadership of Knuckles. They serve as enforcers and assassins of the bandits' leader, Sultan. If Knuckles dies during "The Hit" than his gang would be replaced by a different one.
History[]
The gang appears during the quest "The Hit" given by Sultan. The quest is to eliminate Spartacus's Group on an old shipwreck, Shevchenko. The Gang's fate depends on the player's actions.
Sided With The Bandits[]
Degtyarev meets up with Knuckles who later lead the player to the location outside of the shipwreck and then attack Spratacus's Group and killing the stalkers. Once all stalkers are killed, speak to Knuckles or the new squad leader in case Knuckles was killed during the raid to get the reward. Alternately, the player can ambush Spratacus's Group by himself, without involving the bandits.
The gang would appear again in the next mission, Transaction, in case Knuckles survived. Degtyarev is hired by Sultan to assist Knuckles's Gang again in ensuring the safety of an arms deal with a corrupt Duty officer, Morgan. But, the deal would be interfered by Loners, which will result in a shoot out and the death of Morgan. If Knuckles survived the raid then he will give coordinates to a stash as a reward.
Sided With The Loners[]
The player can snitch the Bandits' plan to the Loners, and the situation will change in three different ways, depending on the player's actions. The player can tell either Gluhar, Beard or Sparactus himself. One way or another, they will plan a counter-attack on Knuckles and his men The player can participate and destroy Knuckles's Gang.
Sided With None[]
The player has an option to either simply skip the raid or to warn the stalkers, but not helping them in their counter-attack. IT will result in Knuckles suspecting Degtyarev in snitching and will attempt to rob the him.
In this scenario, another option will open. Degtyarev will be one of the bodyguards of Morgan during the arms deal. Knuckles will appear as the buyer of the weapon, and Spartacus as the saboteurs. In this case, the player must kill both Knuckles's men and Sparactus's, to ensure Morgan's safety.
Membership[]
