Stalker 2: Should you kill or help Squint?

As his name suggests, Squint is a bit of a weasely character in Stalker 2 and it’ll be your job to decide his fate when you encounter him during the quest, Needle in a Haystack in the game. You’ll be sent to him as he has some Ward Sensors that you need, but he won’t be so willing to just hand them over.  This means you have two choices, kill him, take the Ward Sensors, and be home in time for tea, or help him out so that he’ll willingly give you the sensors, avoiding bloodshed. We’ll explain the consequences of both choices and explain which option we think is best. If there's anything else you still want to know about the game, check out our Stalker 2 FAQ for more info. If you gun him down as soon as you see him then things will be wrapped up quite quickly. You can loot the sensors off of his corpse, however, you will miss out on an extra side quest, so this is only an option for people who are speeding through the game. No one will even mention the fact that he’s dead, so there aren’t any consequences. He
