Mechanic — briefing

Hey, so I'm going through his phone now. It's not a walk in the park — he specializes in encryption, he knows what he's doing. But I might have a clue. I found mention of a diary in his notes. Seems like my friend had a hunch something was gonna happen. A Moleskine diary, he always carried it with him. We need to find it. If you don't find it at the resort, that means the Scavs have probably snatched it already. I suggest you walk along the shore and "ask" the locals. Maybe someone will have it. You know how it is in Tarkov.

Objectives

• Eliminate 15 Scavs
• (Optional) Obtain any information on the diary from the Scavs
• Locate and obtain Mechanic friend's diary
• Hand over: Mechanic friend's diary

Tactical notes

• 15 targets to rack up — that is several raids, not one evening.

On completion

Mechanic: So the Scavs did snatch it, huh. Interesting. Let's try and decrypt his notes.
