Description
Urgent mission, soldier-you need to move out now. One of the Forest Man’s squads has fallen into Viper’s hands, and an intel leak is inevitable. Fortunately, most squads have already changed their hideouts and contact code words, but there’s one team we couldn’t notify in time. The Forest Man has requested our help in getting this squad out of danger. I’ve assessed the risk of an armed rescue, and it’s far too high.
Location: Northridge.
Contact: Vladlen.
Mission Objectives
- Eliminate 5 enemies in Northridge using a suppressed marksman rifle
Rewards
- 6.000 XP.
- 20.000 Koen.
How to complete the mission?
Step 1: Choose the Correct Weapon (Critical)
Only marksman rifles count. Assault rifles, sniper rifles, or SMGs will NOT progress the mission.
Recommended Weapons
- SKS (best overall, cheap and reliable)
- M110
- SVDS (configured as DMR)
Mandatory Attachments
- Suppressor (any compatible model)
- Optic recommended (2x-4x ideal)
Step 2: Ammo & Gear Setup (Efficiency Focus)
Ammo
- Mid-penetration ammo is enough (BP / M80 class)
- One-shot headshots are the goal
Armor
- T3-T4 armor is sufficient
- Mobility matters more than tanking
Utility
- Painkillers
- 1-2 grenades (for flushing AI)
- Optional endurance booster
Step 3: Best Kill Locations in Northridge
Focus on AI-heavy zones to avoid PvP risk.
Top Locations
- Cable Car Area – clustered patrols, good sightlines
- Camp Services – predictable AI routes
- Sawmill outskirts – enemies funnel through cover
- Parking areas near the hotel – easy isolated kills
👉 AI enemies count for this mission, making it much safer than PvP tasks.
Step 4: How to Secure Kills Safely
- Move slowly and listen for voice lines
- Engage from medium range
- Aim for headshots to conserve ammo
- Reposition after every 1–2 kills
- Avoid prolonged fights that attract operators
🔇 The suppressor prevents chain aggro and keeps your position hidden.
Step 5: Extraction Strategy
- You do NOT need to extract to lock kills, but dying resets progress for that raid
- Once you reach 5 kills, disengage immediately
- Use low-traffic extracts if available
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Using an assault rifle with a suppressor
❌ Forgetting to attach the suppressor
❌ Letting teammates finish enemies
❌ Engaging PvP unnecessarily
Fast Completion Strategy (Best Method)
- Play Normal or Lockdown
- Use SKS + suppressor
- Farm AI at Cable Car or Camp Services
- Finish in 1–2 raids consistently
Final Verdict
Risk Assessment is a precision-focused mission, not a combat-heavy one.
If you:
- Use the correct weapon class
- Farm AI in controlled zones
- Avoid unnecessary PvP
It becomes one of the fastest and safest missions in Season 4.
