- PDA contact biography

Overview

 * This NPC assists the player in penetrating the Mercenaries base in Military Warehouses during the Attack the base and get the artifact with the objective of securing the Maddog Crystal.
 * The Contact was originally seen in Build 1844.


 * The rather agricultural gameplay has been considerably upgraded for the Lost Alpha, with all of the salient elements retained or improved upon.
 * There is now a setpiece 'mutant rush', a heavily armed mercenary garrison at the Warehouses, an even harder to kill MadDog and a scripted Blowout to concentrate the player's sense of urgency.

Trivia

 * His corpse is non-volatile and may be used as a convenient stash location depending upon status with the replacement base inhabitants.
 * When arriving in his Lada Niva Military Service the cutscene shows the vehicle as being driverless.
 * The same vehicle occasionally remains on the board after his death, but is unusable by the player.
