Ref — briefing

You did a great job on my assignments. I also ran you through my databases... Just a precaution. You don't hire just anybody, you know what I mean, brother? I'm promoting you to a tester! You're gonna be testing equipment for the Arena. Here's a G36 assault rifle and a THOR armor, try it out on some of the lesser scum. My gladiators will be carrying this kit later, if your test goes well.

Objectives

• Eliminate 5 Scavs while using a Steyr AUG on any location

Tactical notes

• There is a weapon condition: a kill with anything else will not count, finishing shots included.

On completion

Ref: This set is certainly the good shit. Oh, I even came up with a name for it just now: we'll call it Diesel. I think we went a bit too far with the plates though, he's a full-on walking tank. I think we better remove them, yeah?
