Mechanic — briefing

When I was a child, people used to say that it is not the destination that matters, but the journey itself. But what if the destination is yourself, what you know, how good you use your reflexes, and how many rounds you have in the magazine? This feels particularly true when you're supposed to survive, clinging to this world with your teeth. Well, to the point: I need an MP5. With a 50-round extended mag, silencer, tactical flashlight, and sighting range of more than 200. Ergonomics above 45, recoil sum less than 210. Maximum weight of 4 kg. And decide for yourself what is more important to you, the journey or the destination.

Objectives

• Modify an MP5 to comply with the given specifications

Tactical notes

• WHERE TO GO: nowhere. The gun is built at the hideout workbench — no raid needed; parts are bought from traders and the flea market. The parts list and build screenshots are further down this page.
• The parts list and both in-game build screens are further down this page.
• Unlocks only at trader loyalty: Mechanic to LL1.
• This task is part of the Kappa container chain — do not skip it.
