NotesEdit

• It should be noted that during the quest, when the player and Nikolai reach the small ledge with several zombies down below, that if a Molotov Cocktail is thrown at the horde that Nikolai will take the initiative and jump down onto the still flaming corpses of the zombies and set himself on fire. This will result in his death and mission failure. Molotovs and other such explosives should be used with caution.
• You can reach Nikolai without activating the Suicider cutscreen by jumping up along the rocks right before the cutscreen area, although Nikolai will not respond to you.

TriviaEdit

• The name of this quest is a reference to the book and film of the same name, which was about the Battle of Mogadishu where the mission to capture Mohamed Farrah Aidid's top lieutenants went wrong after two U.S. Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawks were shot down.
• This is the first quest you encounter a Suicider.
