Mechanic — briefing

I’ve said too much last time. It happens when I’m alone with my thoughts for a while. A lot of stuff comes to mind while I sit here calibrating the sights. That M4 turned out splendid, got taken off my hands in a moment. A BEAR dropped by recently, goes by the name of Sniper or something. He needs a Lobaev DVL sniper rifle, with a scope and multi-laser device. With recoil sum less than 450, ergonomics above 40, and weight below 6.7 kg. He said it needs to be a 2000m shot. The guy is serious, so do your best to make a solid build.

Objectives

• Modify a Remington Model 870 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 LL2.
• This task is part of the Kappa container chain — do not skip it.

On completion

Mechanic: Thank you, leave the rifle on the table, I'll hand it over to Di— ahem, Sniper.
