Thats exactly the point, the remaster was done by a different team
The reqs for missions:
1)The weapon mission if given - given only once. If you fail it (NPC dies from cringe I dunno) - its gone completely
2)You need to do every item mission for the said faction on previous locations
3)Tank Gun can be given by any faction in Red Forest
4)New Game awaits you lmao (I've already been through that, my condolences)

its sad because every single time I did this in the old version I never followed any of these rules. I remember doing runs where I never did any side quest for anyone and every time I went to red forest I always asked duty once I made it across and the leader with the exo suit gives me the mission without fail. I did notice that this time in the enhanced edition he already had a machine-gun. I never saw him with a machingun before. I killed him in case that is the gun and took it and shot it, then reload the check point it. Maybe it counts for gun baron achievement. Im gonna go look for other weapons but I didn't want to pass out that opportunity. Maybe in my run he never lost it LOL.

edit: I went back and got the 2000 rpg ammo from tank to test out if the machine-gun he has id the one I need. It only shoots 100 rounds. It needs to shoot without reload 2000. So it is not. The search continues lol.

console commands maybe ??

Now that I am only missing one achievement, gun baron. Im going to clean install the game because I have encounter soooo many bugs. For example I just finished the achievement where you have to have three factions to max reputations and I noticed that the only faction that gives you points for doing secondary missions is clear ski. I gave med kits, guns, and all sorts of things to any faction and it never gave me any reputation. I went to clear sky and it does with them. Game is a freaking mess.

doesn't that disables your achievements? I'm going for all achievements. I've done them without any mods or commands. Finished SoC complete, now I'm missing one achievement, gun baron. Let's see how it goes.

This is not a problem with the game. There are several reasons for not getting missions. I got all achievements in a single playthrough. It required a bit of planning but I didn't encounter a single bug.

How the heck did you pull that off? The guides here are terrible and my playthrough had tons of bugs.

There's a few rules. Don't move to the next location before the story takes you there. Make sure artifacts spawn where you need them to be. Don't leave unfinished quests in the log. And finally: make saves so you can come back later for the faction wars.

Biggest problem was getting the correct artifacts in the Great Swamps. There's a few of them that can't spawn anywhere else and I wanted to avoid having to wait hours for them to respawn.

♥♥♥♥'s broken for me right now, since everyone only offers the broken Return Item: Commander's PDA quest. No one is offering the weapon quests.

I'm having exactly the same issue as you, I fkn knew that mission would cause problems when it came up with the broken asf description..

Edit: I think this quest is just outright borked as it requests the wrong PDA to collect because going from the wiki, in Swamps you're meant to 'Return the Scout's PDA' that's spawns in the same spot as the Velles detector in the north of the swamp under the bridge and not some commanders PDA from the Military Warehouses. https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1f88dop/clear_sky_unique_weapons/

I read in another thread (cant remember where it was) that someone had to do the same 1 'return X' task multiple times for it to progress so I used the spawn menu mod off the workshop to spawn in the commanders PDA. I ended up completing the same 1 task about 8-10 times and I finally stopped getting offered it. I then went to cordon and I'm now being asked to return the 'special medic kit' where as before I was beign offered nothing so its seem to be progressing fine for now. The only down side is that I've made stacks of cash so I'm not too happy about it ruining the progression of the game but at least its not completely borked....

Are you guys talking about this one?

Because honestly I never saw this quest

Yep that's the one, Instead of getting the 'return the scouts PDA' in the swamp I got offered a quest to return that commanders PDA from the army warehouses. When you get offered that task its description is completely broken also as you don't get a mission description like you should eg 'please go get this pda from so and so for me' it instead just comes up with what I think is the PDA's actual file name in the games folders and thats it...I wish I took a screenshot of it now.

In swamps lol...

Yeah its definetely a bug I never encountered throughout 3 runs

Post this on Bugs report in pinned thread I guess, this is actually game breaking

Swampy swamps lol.. ;)

It's not that game breaking of a bug but it definitely needs squishing anyway, it will definitely break a few of the games achievements for sure eg, at least gun baron. Thanks for pointing out the bugs thread also, posted about it in there

Well I managed to do all the ''return 'x' '' missions in Cordon with no issue but in garbage I'm yet again being asked to find the commanders PDA instead of being asked to find the Inscribed pistol as that's the last of these 'return 'X'' item quests I've got to do in garbage..

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3517723703

Edit: I went to the correct guy this time and I finally got the last 'return item' mission in Garbage to return the inscribed pistol. Now onto Dark Valley to try and return everything there ...what a fkn chore this game is lol.

Dbl edit: Yet again same the same issue in dark valley, no return 'x' mission available other than the bugged return the commanders PDA, after spawning in said PDA and handing that in all the expected return 'x' missiosn appears as normal...

I honestly think its a typo that was caused by english version of the game
If you can read russian, I could suggest downloading a russian version from the guides

So, try to download russian mod, load a save before accepting that bugged quest, see what happens, if the quest about PDA/КПК still if forced - then its all about avoiding this quest by any means necessary
