Been a pretty hectic day in the bay area for our brave adventurer, what with all the Raiders, 99ers and Hellbugs he has had to face while trying to complete his little quests. Luckily in a few instances some other employees of Von Bach were there to lend a helping hand for which he is extremely thankful.
Still now I guess it time to get to the main part of this post.
Just what did old Hank get up to today?
MISSIONS
Boy has Hank had his work cut out for him this day.
It all started when Cass thought she had found a lead. Seemed like a simple job of obtaining two codes from a small band of Raiders, and with the help of a few others that also seemed to be seeking the same information, this was soon proven to be the case. The next part where I was to use the relay station to access and then delete the data needed...that was a bit more difficult but nothing I couldn't handle in the end.
Still that lead to a pretty intense battle at San Quentin where me and Coop were searching for some piece of Ark-Tech. Unfortunately the item we had been sent to collect was "confiscated" by some Dark Matter soldiers who then proceeded to disappear...great more people to deal with. For some reason this lead Coop to blowing up the place...with me still in it. I honestly do not think I have run that far or that fast before, but I safely made it out in one piece...though without the Ark-Matrix
Well next it was a simple case of rescuing some miners from the Eastshore Docks and tracking down an Overland Transport to recover Rosa's tech which can help find the Ark-Tech. Well it did work...kind of. At least it lead me to the devices "tracking anode" just a shame the two parts had been seperated.
Luckily for me it seemed that Rosa's friend Eren had saw Varus Soleptor with some mercs who may or may not have the very item. So my next stop was to see old Varus over at Muir Process Plant Dam. Of course it wasn't going to be that easy as it turned out that he had fallen fowl of a large group of 99ers and was in need of rescuing.
In Gratitude he directed me to some mine where I was to find the Ark-Matrix. Turns out it was never there and I was just sent to clear out the current inhabitants to make way for Varus to take over. I guess I should have seen that one coming...
Next, just as things were starting to pick up, Eren somehow had managed to get herself captured. So once again I found myself assisting in someones rescue, this time with Rosa at my side. Of course by "assisting" what I really meant was that I had to do all the work. Still with Eren finally rescued it was now time to look for that missing Ark-Matrix but first off to get the Ark-Cell
Amazingly it turned out that the person who had it was the very person who Rosa had a vendetta against, all due toteh fact that this guy Joe Teach (or Jackleg Joe as he was known), had killed her dad...or something. To be honest I wasn't really paying attention to her I was just getting sick of constantly being one step behind the Ark-Cell. Still after a long and very arduous battle which cost me a good few thousand scrip I finally managed to avenger her father and get back Von Bach's precious piece of tech. Of course by the end of the battle I was secretly wishing that Joe had killed Rosa along with her dad and saved me all this bother.
Oh and then I found myself helping a few other Arkhunters prevent a Meltdown at some Plant as well as rescuing a whole bunch of people by the roadside from Raiders, Hellbugs and 99ers
and so that is where I find myself
ARKFALLS
Number 1: Just a minor case of killing scrappers while attempting to destroy an Arkfall Core, nothing really special to write about. Still it did unlock some more information about them for me to look at later.
Number 2: Back to basics. A simple case of surviving a few waves of Hellbugs. Still you gotta love the classics and those little critters are so darn cute, seems a shame to shoot them in the face all the time. Still better me then them I say.
Number 3: This was a bit more difficult. Not only did I have to destroy a crystal (which are pretty resilient to damage) I also had to deal with a whole bunch of 99ers. Luckily I had a few dozen friends to help me and again it unlocked some information for me to look at later, this time on the 99ers.
COMPETITIVE
Just two simple Team Deathmatches today, both on the observatory and somehow in both cases my team won...thanks in no way whatsoever to me because I was totally off my game today. I think an ant with a leaf could have killed me during those mathes. Yes I was THAT BAD.
Still it was fun and it give me a break from doing more missions.
CO-OPERATIVE
Hank and some like-minded folk decided to brave the dank dark mines, filled with all sorts of nasty hellbugs and 99er cyborgs, all to discover the Motherlode. Unfortunately it turned out that the Motherlode was some giant evil cyborg abomination that needed a swift and merciless killing and not the untold riches I thought it would be...well actually I did expect it to be a boss battle but I wanted more riches for beating it then we got.
WEAPONS OF THE DAY
VOT Auto-Fragger: A cool little alien shotgun that holds and fires 15 shells of plasma in 3-round bursts for awesome death bringing power
VBI Grenade Launcher: A simple little grenade launcher that lets you fire off 5 small grenades / mines which you can then remotely detonate. Perfect for when there is a whole bunch of enemies grouped together or spread apart as you can adapt the use of this weapon accordingly.
