Attention, Hunters!
Increased demon activity in the Chernokamensk Zone has caught HQ's attention. According to eyewitnesses, a particularly large and dangerous creature was spotted at night in the Garage Cooperative. Its size and behavior don’t align with typical anomalies. To help combat this threat, the base has issued new equipment: UV underbarrel flashlights and experimental UV grenades capable of temporarily weakening the enemy.
But the oddities don’t end there... Scouts have reported mysterious pumpkins scattered throughout the territory. These objects have piqued scientists interest, prompting command to issue an urgent order: gathering pumpkin samples is now a top priority, overriding all current tasks. To incentivize the hunt, each sample collected counts toward mission progress, with unique rewards available for collecting 5, 15, and 30 samples.
