One Raid - Three Quests - Level 18 Achieved

 I have three quests on Customs:

• stash a golden zippo lighter for Skier
• fetch a package from the director's office for Mechanic
• pick up a package from dorms for Prapor

I want to do all three in one raid. I already make two attempts at this triple, but died to a player and Reshala.  Third time is the charm.

Raid 76

Loadout: Vityaz and Class 4 armor, meds, ears, food and drink.

Supposedly there is some event right now where raiders are on other maps besides Reserve and Labs. Need to watch out for that. I spawned into one of the buildings in the industrial cul-de-sac.  Looted it and then headed out. If there is one thing I know on Customs, it's how to avoid combat and that's the play today.  I looped around, carefully and unhurriedly and arrived at dorms.   Inside the three story dorms building it was quiet. I unlocked room 203 and got the package for Prapor. I exited and continued - scanning the rooms, trying to stay in the rooms and out of the hall.  A scav near the stairwell shouted, I dropped him. 

There was a stack of bodies in the vicinity of the stairs on both second and third floors. I looked for striped sleeves that Reshala's guards wear, but didn't see them. Went up to third. Another scav, another kill. Got the lighter for Skier.  I didn't bother looting the bodies - that's not why I'm here. Back out and resumed crossing the map.

As I walked toward the river a PMC ran past me. I was lucky to have just the sparest of bushes between us. He was in a hurry and sprinting towards the intersection of the roads and the bridge.  I let him go by and then changed my course to avoid him. I heard a scav shout once at the intersection, but nothing else - no weapon fire.   I dropped into the river valley and crossed by the little junk bridge close to smugglers. I hate this bridge, it's too often camped. But the intersection may not be safe and I don't need trouble.

I made it to the Customs yard. I carefully scanned and scoped it. Seems empty. I took two steps in when BAM I started catching fire. I ran back out of the yard to safety.  Was that a player? There was no chirp or shout.  I'll come back to this. I took the trench down to the trailer park, unlocked the cabin, entered it and closed the door behind me. I started stashing the lighter when footsteps ran up. I stopped stashing and waited. A scav said something and then ran off. Was that a player scav? Same guy as shot at me earlier?  

I stashed the lighter. Carefully made my way back around into the Customs building, got the package for Mechanic and extracted.  Three quests, requiring four keys, and precious little combat.  As an added bonus, there is a bug where after clicking Complete for a quest the UI controls in the game stop responding correctly and one needs to quit and relaunch the game. So I got to launch the game three times.  Awesome.

PostScript

Not long ago, reaching Level 20 was seeming impossible before the next wipe, but now it seems achievable. Also, even though there was no real combat, it's nice to notch up a win again after such a long string of miserable losses.
