Update: The Quiet Earth - Made Level 7

Embarking to Woods

Goals

  • Survive
  • Kill Scavs ( 7 more to complete quest )
  • Find USEC camp and Convoy, if convenient

Raid 29

Loadout: VPO-136 with two 10-round magazines of BP, and three of PS. Extra PS rounds. Two grenades. Class 5 armored Rig, meds, ears, 3001 Rubles for extract, food. No backpack. Water and Car med-kit in pouch.  
Insurance: 0 - (previously insured)

Spawned on west side, near construction equipment and USEC checkpoint. First headed south along wall to Scav house  - when I play offline scavs often spawn along this wall, so maybe I'll find some. But nothing. No one at Scav house either. This isn't a safe place to hang out, because players who want to snipe scavs will be looking exactly where I'm standing. Allright, let's head up to USEC and Convoy and then Scav Bunker.   As I walked north, heard fighting dead ahead  - probably at Scav bunker.   Arrived at USEC - it's already been looted. Grabbed a bit of garbage and headed over to convoy. Also looted. It's been quiet at Scav Bunker - so either a player who is as bad as me lost the fight, or, more likely, all the scavs there are dead.  My exfil is Car extract or Northern UN Roadblock, so let's bear that way. Went to abandoned village - no one. Onwards to village. No one. 

I walked around and around the village - both darting to cover and just walking up and down the street - but no scavs spawned.  Looted. Maybe should have brought a backpack. I kept roaming the village, waiting, hoping a scav would spawn. But none did.  Took car extract.   Did not see a single player or scav the whole raid.  And barely heard activity anywhere. 

Time In Raid: 32 minutes 44 seconds.
Exp: 622 --  this and the 2000 exp for completing the Search quest push me to Level 7.

Mistakes

  • forgot to eat and drink. (did not matter, but if a firefight had started up late, that might have been an issue)
  • no backpack ? (not sure this is a mistake - I can usually just take a pre-filled one from a body. I still got a fair bit of loot, though)

Successes

  • Completed Search Quest, which makes good use of the otherwise empty map.
  • Level 7

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).

Punisher Part 1 and 2 - Raid 71 - 74 - Level 18

I need to kill five more scavs on Shoreline with an AKM to complete Punisher 1. Raid 71 - Quest Completed Loadout: I can buy HP from Jaeger again. Go figure. So I have an AKMSN with PSO scope, canted sight, and several mags of HP. One kill mag of PS/BP. I spawned in the village, close to the map edge. I set out immediately, encountering nobody in the village itself. Ascended to the bus station, which was empty. Listened for sounds above, but the resort was quiet. Made my way down to the power station.  I killed two scavs at the power station - but it was a struggle. Normally, the HP ammo just drops these guys, but today a) they had armor and b) the AKMSN was jumping all over the place. At one point I stopped and checked to make sure my SRVV muzzle brake and my foregrip were attached - I couldn't understand what was going on with the recoil.  The second scav messed me up badly. As he died I heard a third scav on the west side of the building - but I was in no position to fight ...
