Prapor

 Went to see Prapor today.

"I see you got my message. I have your insured items right over here, taking up space I could better use for real customers."

"Uh, thanks."

"You heading out again today? Maybe insurance could cost you not so much."

"No, not today. Just picking up the items.  Thanks."

"Hmmm"

He didn't say anything but I could hear the disappointment in his voice, in his "Hmmm" with three "m"s. I don't know how he knows, but I get a feeling he knows exactly how many scavs I've killed so far (four) since I told him I'd help him out in Woods. And since I deal with him for the insurance, he's got to have a rough idea of how many raids I've been on (eight), and he has an exact count of how many I've claimed the insurance (five).  He's probably wondering how long it's going to take me to neutralize fifteen scavs. I'm wondering the same. Eight raids and only four killed scavs and only three survived raids.  Not good. But hey, why do I care if he's disappointed in me? He's not my dad!

Does he know how I've been making extra money?  Does he suspect?  What will he do if he finds out I am double dealing - that I sometimes sneak into Woods to scavenge and steal?  Shit, if I could count the number of times I've died in Woods as a Scav then this fucking task would be done.

Field of Fire of Emplaced Weapons at Lighthouse USEC Base, for BEARS

On the new Lighthouse map, the USEC rogues are very aggressive against BEARS and will sight on you out to 300 meters or more, and will fire on you far quicker than they will on a USEC PMC.  The fixed guns are particularly dangerous as they can kill you with a single hit when you might not even realize you are close to the base. I made a map with some fields of fire noted on it. There are two mounted machine guns on building 1 , two mounted machine guns and a grenade launcher on building 2 , and a single machine gun on building 3 .  Plus there is a mounted machine gun and grenade launcher on the southwest corner of the base (lower right on this map).  I have noted the general field of fire of each of these weapons on the map. Obviously, there is a lot of cover, so just because you are standing in a red zone on this map doesn't necessarily mean you can be seen and hit. BUT, if there is any sort of line of sight (including through trees, bushes, walls and vehicles) and you a...

Prapor Is Unwell

 Got a message from Prapor, he's giving me a "boost" (his word, not mine). And he sent over an AK-74, an AK-101 and a god-damned Kel-Tec RFB assault rifle! This can't be no strings attached, but he didn't ask for any favors. I was sure he was going to ask me to go kill Jaeger or Putin or something. Instead, he says "everybody calls me Prapor, let's get acquainted."  Like he want us to go out to a movie or dancing?  Introducing himself _again_ plus being overly generous - something is definitely wrong with him. Dementia. He probably had a stroke.  He sent over a SKS-OP too. Something I can put a sight on. I'll take that out next.  I'll set the others aside in case he asks for them back or tries to call in a favor I can't return (e.g. dancing).

Update: Killing Time instead of Scavs

Destination Woods Goals survive kill scavs (approx 10 more to finish quest) locate convoy and usec camp (if convenient) Progress: Interminable Grind Raid 26 - Boring Loadout: VPO-206 with .366 TKM FMJ and variable dot/scope sight, extra magazines, rig, sling, ears, class 3 armor. 3001 rubles for car extract.  Water and Medkit in pouch.  Insurance: 0K (previous insurance).  Most of my recent Woods raids have been in the morning, but this one was in the early evening. Spawned near spine, which I didn't realize was an option.  Don't really have a plan for this spawn. Exfil is at Outskirts, so maybe just go to Scav house and see if I can ring up better numbers than I have so far.  Headed out, but shortly after encountered another player.  Not sure if he saw me and hid. He passed. But once I started moving again, heard him coming up again behind me.  Turned, crossed a ridge. Put some distance between us.  Tromped through woods. Lost.  Used the sun...
