Not Fun - Raid 79 - Level 18

I crossed over the million ruble barrier recently. That's great to have some of the financial worry behind me. And I picked up a new Ragman quest on Reserve: visit 5 different rooms. Pretty chill. Except it requires four keys that cost more than a million rubles in total.  Awesome.  But I ran a scouting mission as a scav and some of those rooms get unlocked by PMCs and left open. So maybe I can just piggy-back on someone else, like I did for Delivery from the Past. 

Destination: Reserve

Goal: Kill raiders in bunker (still need 2 more) and visit the 5 rooms.

Raid 79 - Sigh

Loadout: Beloved Vityaz with Pst gzh, one grenade, Class 4 armor. Meds, ears.

Caught the pole position spawn this time - spawned in the bunker itself, white pawn dead end. The raiders don't always spawn in the first minute, so I looted a couple containers and slowly made my way into the bunker. It was empty. I visited all the places the raiders hide. Nothing. I pulled the D-2 switch, except for the lights coming on, there was no change. Looted a container.  Now what?  

I'll hang out a little more. I went back to the white pawn hallway. Another player entered the bunker and began running around. More than likely, when he's done he'll go up the ramp from King to White Pawn - that seems to be the route everyone takes. So I went up to the little door and posted. I aimed down sight standing to the side of the doorframe. If I left lean I'll lean into the doorframe. I waited. 

He finished up, his footsteps approaching. I aimed down sight, at the ready. Hopefully he'll run, because then I can catch him with his weapon down. He advanced, I could see his flashlight on the wall. Then he stopped.  

Why did he stop? Is my shoulder visible through the doorframe? I don't think it should be - the way his light is coming through means he shouldn't have an angle. He stayed stopped. Now what?  I quieted my motion to the minimum, took a single sidestep away from the door, stood, stepped back and leaned and fired and died instantly to a headshot from the aptly named YoureTooSlowTV . 

Time In Raid: 5 minutes, 46 seconds
Exp: 61
Ammo Used: 3 - No hits.
Killed By: YoureTooSlowTV with a M855A1 to the head.  GG YoureTooSlowTV , how did you know I was there? Quick reaction!

Mistakes

  • This is exactly the sort of fight I should not be taking. I simply don't have the skills for this. Nor the ammo neither - he had a fat helmet (Altyn?) and my Pst gzh would take a loooong time to drill through that.
  • I'm not sure what the best course of action should have been. Simply flee? 

Successes

  • it will be a success if I manage to take a lesson away from this and similar losses.

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).

A Change of Pace - Raids 117 - 119 - Level 20

Killing 10 PMCs on Shoreline for the last part of Punisher 4 is not going well.  I'm five raids in. In four of the raids I encountered no other players, even though I was hanging out in the resort for two of them. In my last raid, I was headshot just after stepping onto the resort grounds.  Awesome. I'm going to try something different. Return to Customs and try running the Pharmacist quest in which I pick up a package from room 114 in the two story dorms building. Raid 117 - Awesome Loadout: Ash-12 with some ten round mags of PS12B, and one twenty round mag of PS12 (for CQB), meds, ears. Extra ammo and key 114 in my secure container. Spawned in at Smugglers. This is one of the three closest spawns to Dorms. I made sure my laser was on and the weapon ranged and headed out. I didn't run to dorms but walked directly there.  The scavs starting bait shotting as I went.  As I approached three story dorms, I dropped in a bush to listen for a second - to listen for other pl...
