Skier — briefing

Things are kicking off all over Tarkov. Someone coughs in the wrong place and they've got a gun shoved in their face. The bosses are tightening the screws, searching everyone at the checkpoints and shooting anyone who looks dodgy without asking questions. And, funny enough, that could work in my favor. Reputation's a funny thing. You've just got to know when to make your move. Since everyone's decided I'm somehow mixed up in this shit, I'll show 'em how to get things under control. I've supplied the men, the guns, the grub, and the ammo. My lads are keeping the quarantine in place and chasing off anyone who looks even remotely infected. You're joining in, too. Spot someone suspicious? Deal with 'em before they infect half of Tarkov. And I've got a little something useful for you in return. I'll give you access to the bodies of the infected. Word is, Therapist pays good money for tissue samples. I'm not about to start poking around in that filth myself, but if you're up for it, get cutting, collect what you can and take it to her. Might as well squeeze some cash out of the old c***.
