Ref — briefing

Tell me something, why the hell are these locals so attached to their ruins, huh? We could all be making money together instead of wasting time on this nonsense... Problems have popped up at all three construction sites, and now Skier's started stirring things up too. Then again, I never really trusted that alliance in the first place. I'm not stupid. Time to go back to the old reliable methods. You already know where my camps are. Jaeger's been sending his wookie warriors after them, and we need to hit back hard enough that they run straight back into the bushes. And remember, you can actually influence how quickly we get these venues up and running! I've hired a few other professionals for this job as well, so try not to shoot them. Put on one of our armbands too, so the boys know you're friendly. And remember: if you start backing the forester, I'll find out immediately.

Objectives

• Eliminate 2 PMC operatives at the EMERCOM camp while wearing an ARENA armband on Woods
• Eliminate 2 PMC operatives at the smuggler's camp while wearing an ARENA armband on Shoreline
• Eliminate 2 PMC operatives at the dorms while wearing an ARENA armband on Customs

Tactical notes

• 3 maps — Customs, Woods and Shoreline: not a one-raid task.
• There is a weapon condition: a kill with anything else will not count, finishing shots included.

On completion

Ref: Now that's what I'm talking about! We didn't hold every position, but we managed to beat back those forest defenders. It'll take some extra time to recover our losses and finish construction at a few of the sites, but without you we'd have been in real trouble. Once these arenas are ready, make sure you stop by. I'll have something waiting for you as a thank-you.
