Interact with Dima Dope and tell him you will help him get the stash (Image via GSC Game World)

During the conversation with Warlock, he explains that a person called Valik Lummox owes him some money. He also offers you a 20 percent cut if you can collect the debt on his behalf. Notably, Valik Lummox was last spotted near the Zalissya water tower.

Navigate to the north side by following the blue objective marker shown on the map. Upon arriving at the required location, you will find three thugs standing at the compound. Afterward, interact with their leader, Dima Dope. He will tell you to talk to Valik Lummox (who's hiding inside the place) about the location of a stash.

Accept Dima's request, navigate to the window on the right, and interact with Valik. Choose "Let's have a chat" when prompted, and tell him that Warlock sent you regarding the debt. Following that, Valik will reveal the stash's location, which is at the top of the water tower.

However, the thugs will also hear about the location and tell you to reach it and get the stash by yourself. Carefully avoid the anomalies on your way, and head to the top of the water tower. Loot the stash to find Valik Lummox's customized AKM-74S with a value of 10500 Coupons.

Following that, the best approach would be to eliminate the thugs. You can either do it from the top of the tower or after descending from it. Once they are dead, go back to Valik and interact with him. Then, choose the "Pay Warlock what you owe him" prompt. In turn, Valik will send the debt money to Warlock and also give you the promised 20 percent cut.

Tips: Even if you help the thugs by giving them the stash, Dima Dope would ask for an Artifact. As the stash doesn't have any Artifacts, the thugs will start to attack you. So, eliminating them before and helping Valik is a viable choice.
