PSI Factor

While he works on the broken PDA, Sakharov wants us to do a little research on psy-dogs. Our job is to harness a special collar to a certain psy-dog in Radar's Rusty Forest, shoot fifty of its phantoms, kill the subject, and claim the device with the readings.
== Walkthrough ==
Rusty Forest is always infested with mutants that will give you a hard time. The special psy-dog for the quest can easily be killed by a burer, rendering the quest uncompleteable. For this reason, your highest priority should be to destroy any other mutants in the area to ensure nothing harms the psy-dog.
Alternatively, you can completely clear out the forest before taking the quest. No additional mutants are spawned after accepting, so you'll be free to deal with just the psy-dog.
The special dog itself resides in the large pack of dogs in the southeastern clearing. It has the same coloration as Buddy, Doctor's dog, so you'll know it when you see it. You'll need to approach the dog and interact with it to place the collar. Back off to the edge of its aggro range - you'll know this when you get the colors back on your screen - and wait for its phantoms to start filing towards you. After shooting 50, you'll receive a notification that the data recording is complete. Kill the dog, take the device off its corpse, and return to Sakharov for the decoded and repaired PDA.
== Notes ==
* A Cloaking exoskeleton or a silent suit may make it easier to approach and interact with the psy-dog.
* If you have a functional Bioradar, you'll always know which dog is the real one as it'll be the only one with a bip on the radar. This makes all parts of the quest significantly easier.
** It has the same color blip as a normal pseudodog rather than the faded brown blip of a psy-dog.
