Today something very strange and fortunate happened in Clear Sky
Now stalkers have their camp in bandit base, bandits are removed completely from the game.
So let me put it in chronological order, explaining what and how it happened:
1. I went to the Flea Market (where some stalker, guide, trader and mechanic lives) and then started to repair my weapons and armor. Just then a horde of dogs and pseudodogs came to the location and started ripping off bones. Somehow all of us survived the wave. It was midnight and everything was chill and dark.
Unlucky stalkers, here came one more wave of Flesh mutants. The guide lost his life but others were fine including trader and mechanic (well...mechanic is kinda play safe type and never comes down to fight mutants...).
Well if it wasn't enuf, another wave of Snork mutants came in for hunt. And let me tell you Snork is not a child's play, its a nightmare for stalkers. OMG they killed all of them just coward mechanic was left and me.
See the below pic to analyse what happened:

2. Now I was in despair and went for some stash hunting, got some weapons including Vintar and SVD sniper rifle. But then I saw that new replacements came in for the dead stalkers in Flea Market. It was a relief as I wanted to sell my stuff to trader.
So I went to the trader and sold him my stuff. He is in intelligent trader. What he did was to holster my sold Vintar rifle as his primary firearm and ditched his lesser in stats obokan.
Here you can see him with Vintar rifle (its a sniper in disguise really):

3. Then I talked to the newly replaced stalker and he was ready to get some hep from me. The objective was to capture the fortification infested by Snorks at the two large cylinders in Garbage.
This time I didn't want to loose them so killed two Snorks out of three myself.

4. Then I went on to stashes containing valuable pen drives storing some precious upgrade informations for mechanics.
By the time I was reaching for the second stash I saw a faint green circle in my GPS map which was moving towards the Bandit depot. But to my bad luck it was on other side of the Bandit base. So I couldn't help them as there were some bandits already at the other side.
5. But I got a premonition that its like do or die so I just crossed across the bandit base dodging their heavy fire and managed to reach the stalker team. It was a relief that none of them died.
Now I took out a Bandit veteran and two rookies too with my TR 301 modified for sniper accuracy.
6. Now, we were moving into the bandit lair, their base the railyard which I just dodged a minute before. While my friends stalkers were yelling wait for me and stick together, I thought of clearing the bandit scum myself first than endangering their lives.
So I rushed in and popped some heads, there was heavy resistance from the bandit guys shooting from the top of the railyard building. But we succeeded at last. Thanks to the upgrade military armor suit, it saved me from the bullet rain.
Though I felt sorry for two stalkers who got killed in action despite of me taking care. Though they left one sniper SVD and one Vintar rifle after dying
Here is the status showing that Stalkers have captured the Garbage. Hey no more tax paying to bandits and no more ambushes.

7. Here is the Garbage map on my PDA which shows some red circles but all of them are mutants and not bandits. And then green circle shows stalkers. Yellow ones are other neutral factions like Duty or Freedom.

Am enjoying the game as developer meant it to be played
I will edit some pics and add new ones to tell you visually the turn of events that took place, but now am too exhausted to do all this. Later...
