Prapor — briefing

Things really have gotten worse now. My guys reported that Glukhar showed up at the treatment plant with his squad, probably looking for our deserter. And that means we're never gonna get that little document everyone's after. So I've got a new task for you. We need to neutralize the threat. You up for it? When you get back, I'll try to get that rat bastard to make a move right away, before he completely disappears off the radar.

Objectives

• Eliminate 5 of Glukhar's guards on Lighthouse
• Locate and neutralize Glukhar on Lighthouse

Tactical notes

• While the event runs, Glukhar holds the water treatment plant on Lighthouse and spawns in every raid.

On completion

Prapor: Honest work, soldier! Now get going. I need to get in touch with the deserter. Can't let this opportunity slip!
