Vortex Gaming

· We have finally gathered all the Therapist's vehicle repair materials, allowing us to proceed with the 'Civilian Evacuation' quest.
· A new hideout room has been unlocked, providing much more stash space.
· We crafted a magazine box, bringing us one step closer to crafting a Scav junkbox. The completion of the magazine case significantly increased stash space, allowing us to store more items.
· For a simple daily quest, we need to kill 5 Scavs with a PM pistol to obtain 'Mahjong Zaika Coffee Beans'. Since we don't have a PM pistol, we plan to acquire one in-raid.

· While moving to find Reshala, we unexpectedly engaged with 3 Scavs and retreated briefly to recover.
· After eliminating the Scavs, we secured a valuable Hunter rifle and ammunition, deciding to use them for dealing with Scavs.
· We spent too much time crossing the river, increasing the risk of our position being exposed to PMCs.

· We spotted a PMC across the river and attempted to snipe them, but instead, the PMC detected our position and landed an accurate headshot.
· To counter the PMC's sniping, we recovered and sought a different route, but the risk of exposure remained.
· Analyzing the PMC's behavior, we used the 'Emperor's New Clothes' tactic, depleting the enemy's ammunition while looking for an opportunity to retreat.
· Ultimately, we decided to disengage from the PMC and chose a 'transit' strategy to preserve our gear by abandoning the raid and moving to another map.

· We utilized transit to move to Interchange, then quickly transited back to Customs.
· We explained that skill progression resets during transit, allowing for efficient leveling of specific skills like 'Charisma'.
· After completing the transit, we resumed our journey to find Reshala.

· In Customs, we secured items by eliminating Scavs and remained vigilant, hiding briefly upon hearing PMC footsteps.
· We identified the possibility of the PMC going to plant a beacon at the fuel tanker and aimed to intercept it before completion, but unfortunately missed the opportunity.
· After the beacon was planted, we re-engaged with the lurking PMC. We used smoke grenades for psychological warfare to deceive the PMC and successfully extracted.
· We acquired an SVD rifle from the PMC, which will be useful for boss elimination.

· We faced a crisis of slow stamina recovery due to dehydration but acquired a Makarov pistol to proceed with the daily quest.
· We completed the daily quest by eliminating Scavs and safely ended the raid using the Green Flare extraction point.

· We finally spotted Reshala near the gas station and began engaging discreetly from a hilltop to avoid PMC intervention.
· We eliminated Reshala and his bodyguards one by one, carefully dealing with the bodyguard wearing an Altyn helmet.
· After eliminating all bodyguards, we searched Reshala's body and finally acquired the long-sought key.

· After acquiring the key, we carefully navigated through high-risk PMC encounter areas to reach Reshala's hidden key room.
· We entered the key room and discovered and investigated Pasha's letter and several notes on the wall.
· After the investigation, we moved to the river crossing extraction point, maintaining vigilance until the end, and successfully extracted.

· Pasha's recovered letter states that Kozlov has been hiding for weeks, running out of food, and is asking Pasha for supplies, having copied recorded conversations onto an audio tape. Kozlov desperately requests Pasha to retrieve the tape quickly and help him escape the city.
· One of the other notes consists of numbers and letters with unknown meaning.
· Another note, written by Reshala's comrade, states that Kozlov was found dead after going missing, and the tape was not found. This suggests the possibility that Kozlov hid the tape somewhere before he died.
· Mourning Kozlov's death, we decide to complete his unfinished work. We confirm the address written on the note is Shoreline and prepare to head to Shoreline as our next destination.
