Quest text from Mechanic

Quite long ago, I once met the owner of KIBA Arms, we even went to a sauna together then, though I’m not particularly into it. He even broke his leg trying to jump-dive from the pier that day. Jolly fellow dreamt of setting up an airsoft field all the time. It seems his wish came true in Tarkov, the best and largest airsoft field in the world, with an only minor difference: here, you die and lose everything from a single stray bullet. Put together an AK-102, with a Ferfrans CRD Concussion Reduction Device, Magpul AFG OD tactical grip, Zenit Klesch-2U flashlight, RPK-16 buffer tube, and the Circle 10 magazine. Ergonomics should be over 70, recoil sum less than 250, sighting range 800 or more. Make sure it doesn’t take up more than 8 slots.
