Mechanic — briefing

I want to try teaching Lusya to tell if someone's lying, if the result will be at least 90% accurate, it will be interesting to listen to all those politicians and TerraGroup whales, who’ve been expatiating upon their ideals and noble goals just yesterday, assured of the benefits of our economic zone and a bright future ahead. How much of this was a concentrated lie? I think, all of it. There’s a request for a Magpul edition AKMN. I.e. the handguard, stock, and pistol grip have to be Magpul. All in black. Additionally, a Rotor 43 muzzle brake, black Magpul M-LOK AFG Tactical grip, and EOTech HHS-1 hybrid sight. Recoil sum lower than 350, ergonomics above 50, and weight of 5 kg or less with sighting range of 500.

Objectives

• Modify an HK 416A5 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.
• This task is part of the Kappa container chain — do not skip it.

On completion

Mechanic: Thanks, leave them somewhere here. I’m a bit busy right now, catch you later.
