Prapor — briefing

Well hey there, warrior. How you holding up? Haven't frozen anything off yet? I've already got plenty of guys laid up because of these New Year frosts. We're short on hands back at base, but we'll scrape by. Out in the field though, things are a real mess, and I need your help. One squad was running an important job in the southwest. By now they should've grabbed the cargo and headed back. They're on radio silence, so there's no way to reach them. They can probably wait out the storm somewhere, but supplies might not last. There are three possible rally points they can reach once the weather clears. I need you to stash some food there so they can make it back to base without keeling over. In Priozersk, you need the little house on the outskirts, near the trail that leads toward Reserve. You also need to leave supplies at the military base; there's an old barrack right by the path from the forest, there's a room right by the entrance. Hide the stuff somewhere in the lockers so the Scavs don't steal it. They might also make it to Interchange if they follow the river. The river access is in the smuggler camp. There's a small shack near the barrier, leave everything there. And don't freeze yourself to death while you're at it. Put a hat on at least!

Tactical notes

• Bring the items for the drop with you — they are not on site.

On completion

Prapor: You get everything done? Didn't run into my guys, did you? Not good. But I'm sure they'll pull through. They've seen blizzards far worse.
