Mechanic — briefing

How much do you think a human life is worth these days? Not much, I'd say. What surprises me more is the contemporary art market: prices for artists' work climb every year. They are undoubtedly talented, but the longer you look at it, the more it seems that anything at all can be art. It can be a Rothko painting, a torn-out urinal or a heap of rubbish. In my opinion, though, the most astonishing art is weaponry — from bladed weapons, already recognised as such and found in plenty of museums, to an old AK or M4, which are beautiful in their own right. But a weapon truly becomes art when it is made unique, sometimes one of a kind, in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, who modifies it to suit himself and makes a masterpiece worthy of the finest museum halls. Bring me such a masterpiece. I need an M4A1 with a KAC QDSS NT-4 suppressor (FDE), a rifle-length Alexander Arms MK10 handguard, a REAP-IR thermal and a 60-round magazine. Ergonomics above 40, total recoil under 280 and weight 5 kg or less.

Objectives

• Modify an M4A1 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 screens — inspect and modding — are further down this page.
• Some parts unlock only at a certain loyalty level — check the list before selling an older build.
