| “ | Volkov's powerful tesla cannon can immobilize and destroy any ground targets. His companion Chitzkoi will rip troops and tanks apart with his teeth and claws. | ” |
| —Soviet intel during Operation: Recharger |
Volkov was the hero of Russia during the Third World War and Mental Omega War. He is always accompanied by his loyal companion Chitzkoi.
Act One[]
Recharger[]
Volkov and Chitzkoi are tasked with destroying all Allied forces in Paris. Once he reaches the Eiffel Tower, Volkov will energise it, turning it into a gigantic Tesla Coil until it's destroyed by a Mercury Strike, forcing him to complete the rest of the mission the conventional way. He must survive throughout the mission.
The Lunatic[]
The two are tasked with escorting an unmanned Kirov Airship to the Psychic Beacon. Afterwards, Volkov must be loaded onto a Cargo Plane to evacuate the area.
Dragonstorm[]
Volkov and Chitzkoi were captured by Chinese forces prior to the battle, and Yunru is about to study them. They will help the Russian forces repelling the Chinese invasion once they are released. They can be destroyed without compromising the mission.
Act Two[]
Juggernaut[]
Volkov and Chitzkoi arrive as reinforcements via air transport to assist in the defense of the Congress of Singapore during the later stages of the battle. They can be destroyed without compromising the mission.
Meltdown[]
He appears along with the rest of heroes: Chitzkoi, Reznov and Krukov. He can be destroyed without compromising the mission.
Earthrise[]
Volkov lands on the moon with Chitzkoi to help destroy Epsilon lunar base. They can die without compromising the mission. If Volkov falls for the first time, the player can rebuild him from Barracks, which costs $5000.
Fatal Impact[]
Volkov, alongside Chitzkoi, are moon-dropped to the top left section of the map, and Volkov is required to survive throughout the mission. He is the only land unit that can reach and damage one of the seven Spatha Defense Systems that have to be destroyed, and in his way to it he comes across a Psionic Converter that dramatically increases his firepower and also disables the hidden Iron Curtain Device that was protecting some of the Spatha systems. At the end of the mission, after the Soviets nuke the entire map, Volkov ends up immobilized. Yuri, showing off his new ability to control cyborgs through psychokinesis, captures him before departing the battlefield in a Mandjet Transport.
Death's Hand[]
Still controlled by Yuri, he appears in the beginning and fortifies himself in the Kremlin with Yuri and his elite guards. Once the player approaches the Kremlin itself, Yuri will release Volkov to fight the player's forces. Still affected by the Psionic Converter, he is extremely powerful and is completely invulnerable to all sources of damage (although he loses the EMP effect for his weapon). The only way to defeat him is to utilize Chitzkoi, who will be paradropped into the area and the player must ensure his former cybernetic canine companion survives and can close the distance to deliver the killing blow.
Soviet Epilogue[]
Volkov's disabled and derelict body appears in a cemetery in a snowy area, with Chitzkoi guarding it from loyal Epsilon forces and mind-controlled Soviet soldiers.
Special Ops[]
- Though they do not appear in-person, Volkov and Chitzkoi are main objectives in Archetype. Boris and Morales were tasked to secure and evacuate their bodies from the abandoned Tech Center.
- Volkov and Chitzkoi appear in Noise Severe to help escort prisoners to a Chinese base, where Yuri has set ambushes along their route. They can be destroyed without compromising the mission.
Cooperative[]
- A few minutes after Thunder God begins, Volkov and Chitzkoi arrive to help the Russian forces destroy all Allied forces. They can be destroyed without compromising the mission.
Trivia[]
- Volkov is the third Soviet hero who was killed in action. The first two was Boris and Morales.
