Recognition

 Recognition

noun

  1. identification of someone or something or person from previous encounters or knowledge.
  2. acknowledgment of something's existence, validity, or legality.

Something has changed. Maybe it's all the scavs I've neutralized, or killing the FlyKing. But suddenly everyone has jobs for me. That creepy Skier guy wants me to scrounge up body armor and shotguns for him. The Mechanic wants me mod up a shotgun for him. And, of course, I still owe Prapor two shotguns.  Shotguns, shotguns, shotguns. If I have to pull them off dead scavs, it'll take forever.  But there might be a quicker way, at least for the MP-133s. But that means venturing into Priozersk Natural Reserve, aka Woods.  I heard that someone took down some of the wall that's there, opening up the accessible area, and, supposedly some fuck has put in landmines to keep the trespassers (like me) at bay.  Guess I'll find out.

I also went and revisited Elvira.  She still doesn't remember me. She asked me to get some Salewas for her, just like last time. But she only wants three, not five.  Is she trying to send me a message? 

"Are you sure you don't want five Salewas?", I asked.

"Well, if you bring me extras, I might have a little extra something for you", her hand brushed mine ever so slightly and she winked. I froze like I do when I hear footsteps in a building I'm looting. 

"Maybe you'll get lucky, sailor".  She was looking right at me.

Another customer entered and I stammered incoherently and beat a hasty retreat.

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...
