You had a team job to do, so you put a great squad together and proved you're a leader.
― Achievement description
Leader is an achievement/trophy in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Earning the Achievement[]
Full five man squad. From left to right: Strider, Zulu, Degtyarev, Sokolov, and Vano.
This achievement is directly tied to the main storyline of Call of Pripyat. It requires the player to recruit every possible squadmate for the mission Pripyat 1. These are:
- Zulu - Joins the team by default
- Vano - Can be recruited after completing the side mission Debts and giving him 5000 RU
- Sokolov - Can be recruited by completing the side mission Anomalous Plant for Professor Ozersky
- Strider - Can be recruited by completing the side mission Monolith survivors for either Duty or Freedom
The player will obtain the achievement as soon as the fourth squadmate is hired. Do note that recruiting Strider is possible after obtaining the achievement A Man of Balance, but the sequence of quests to be completed to do so is a lot more elaborate and involves obtaining the achievements Diplomat and Mutant Hunter.
Consequences[]
Every squadmate's damage resistance is significantly increased during the trip within the Pripyat 1 underpass, making it easier to go through the storyline with them alive. However, due to a coding error, this achievement actually has the inverse effect and makes the player's squadmates weaker than they would be normally.
