Inside a Safe House, a Militant was so furious that he flipped the table over. "Damn it, 117! The communication mode is restricted to solo queue, and on top of that, I have to deal with regular Scavs, roleplaying Viper and Fred, while fighting normal-mode squads. The AI difficulty is outrageously overpowered—I barely made it into the hotel before a single burst dropped me!"
Recently, various Contacts had been issuing utterly absurd missions. Not only were the difficulties dialed up to the maximum, but they also came with all sorts of restrictions. Leaving aside the requirement to eliminate 8 peers within 5 minutes, an even more outrageous task demanded eliminating 4 enemies from over 100 meters away using iron sights.
Although they had already figured out that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes, they had no clue who the mastermind actually was. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of Scavs across all maps—especially in the Northern Mountains—had noticeably increased lately. Many of their comrades had fallen there, and those who managed to survive were heavily wounded. To make matters worse, the missions issued by the Contacts practically forced Militants to complete them, and crucially, everything had to be finished in a single raid; leaving the area reset all mission progress completely, forcing them to start over from scratch.
