BTR Driver — briefing
We foiled Skier's plans, and I'll tell you this - we can't let this opportunity slip away. When he recovers, he will never let me out of his sight. That's why we need to think of a defensive plan now, because you and I are both going to get nailed! So listen, I've got a plan all worked out. Except I don't have anybody else I'd trust to do something this complex. I was able to dig up some background intel on Skier. The kind of information that could compromise him real bad if it fell into the right hands. It's all in this letter, and it's our guarantee. You need to pick it up at the customs area. The letter will be on the top floor of the building by the construction site. You know, the one near the railroad platform, you'll see it. Hopefully. From there, go straight to the reserve base and leave it in the headquarters on the third floor, at the fortified point with windows. The key is to make sure that Skier's men don't intercept the letter. That is why after stashing the letter, run to Priozersk and make some noise. After you kill a couple of Scavs, go to the lighthouse peninsula and shoot a flare. You need a yellow one, don't get it mixed up! The best place to do it is on the pier at the vacation houses and on the platform at the train station, it'll distract the guys from Skier's nearest base. After that, you run out of there! I've written all the instructions on a piece of paper to make sure you don't fuck it up. You gotta do it all at once, you understand?

Tactical notes
- 4 maps — Customs, Woods, Reserve and Lighthouse, but a transit links them: not separate raids.
- All in one raid: leaving early resets the progress.
On completion
BTR Driver: Ho-ly shit! You did it! You're the only one to stick up for me. What's most important is that we've already prepared the stage. It won't be easy, but Ragman promised to help, and the letter ought to work too. I won't forget all the help you've given me. Drop by often, friend.
