Description
You’re an excellent guide, my friend. just as I thought you’d be. Thanks to you, Viper has located the hideout of a Forest Man squad. We should be able to pry more information from them soon. Viper’s work is still ongoing. Next, I want you to go to the Northridge area and set up a few sentry posts for Abyss to use in the future. Stay hidden. If anyone sees you, take them out immediately. Leave no loose ends.
Location: Northridge.
Contact: Thomas Edward.
Mission Objectives
- Eliminate 6 enemies ot the Cable Car Station, Parking Lot, or Northridge Hotel in Northridge.
Rewards
- 6.000 XP.
- 20.000 Koen.
How to complete the mission?
Step 1: Choose the Best Location (Most Important Decision)
While all three locations work, the difficulty and risk vary heavily.
✅ Best Choice: Parking Lot
- Open sightlines
- Predictable AI patrols
- Easy disengage routes
- Lower player traffic than Hotel
⚠️ Medium Risk: Cable Car Station
- Tight angles
- Frequent player movement
- AI often grouped
❌ Hardest Option: Northridge Hotel
- PvP hotspot
- Vertical combat
- Third-party risk is very high
👉 Recommendation: Do all 6 kills in the Parking Lot in one raid if possible.
Step 2: Recommended Loadout (Stealth-First)
This mission rewards controlled kills, not prolonged fights.
Primary Weapon
- Suppressed AR (AK-74M / M4A1)
- OR suppressed DMR (SKS)
Ammo
- Mid-penetration rounds (BP / M855A1)
Armor
- T4 vest
- Lightweight helmet (no heavy face shield)
Gear
- Suppressor (mandatory for stealth)
- Painkillers
- 1 smoke grenade (emergency escape)
Why this works:
Suppressors prevent chain aggro, lightweight gear keeps stamina high, and T4 armor is enough against Northridge AI.
Step 3: Efficient Kill Route (Parking Lot Strategy)
- Approach from outer tree line
- Scout for isolated AI patrols
- Eliminate enemies one by one, aiming for headshots
- Reposition after every kill (10–20 meters)
- Leave immediately after the 6th kill
💡 You do not need to loot bodies. Survival > profit.
Step 4: Avoid Common Mistakes
❌ Staying too long after kills
❌ Shooting unsuppressed weapons
❌ Looting in open areas
❌ Pushing toward Hotel mid-mission
If another player spots you, eliminate them fast or disengage. The mission does not require PvP, but loose ends can fail the run.
Step 5: Extraction Tips
- Extract as soon as the counter hits 6/6
- Avoid crossing Hotel or Cable Car after completion
- Use smoke if extraction is watched
Mission progress is saved only if you extract successfully.
Final Tip (Veteran Advice)
Treat Viper’s Tongue like a ghost operation:
- minimal shots,
- no greed,
- no prolonged fights.
Complete it cleanly, extract fast, and move on – that’s exactly how Abyss expects it to be done.
