BTR Repair

After reporting the condition of the abandoned BTR to Voronin, he expresses his goal of repairing it to reinforce the Duty outpost in Yantar, and tells you the general plan:

* Salvage a ORK-27m toolkit from any of the destroyed BTRs at CNPP-1, to repair the ruptured fuel tank.
* Find a battery undamaged by the radiation, in any of the ZIL trucks in Pripyat Dungeons.
* Obtain the fuel; four Gas canisters should suffice. There should be some at the ATP, as the bandits have a working generator.
* Charge the battery at Petrenko.
* Repair and refuel the BTR with everything you've found.
* Drive the BTR to Yantar and speak to the scientists to transfer it to them, along with the tools.

## Walkthrough

### Army tools at CNPP-1

Head over to CNPP-1. There are several broken down BTRs on this location, most are at the main CNPP gate but there are others spread throughout the location.

The toolkit can be found inside one of those, the location is randomized but it's not hidden from sight, and will be visible through one of the hatch doors to the side of the vehicle.

### Obtaining the fuel

Specifically for this quest, 4 Gas canisters spawn at the ATP, along with the unobtainable ones: 2 near the working generator inside the workshop, one near the working generator inside the mill, and one inside the garage.

They are not necessary to proceed, though. Gas canisters are generic and any four canisters can be used.

### Battery in Pripyat Dungeons

The car battery is a unique item that can only be picked up in Pripyat Dungeons. Like the army tools, the location is randomized but not hidden from view. It is located on the front seats of one of the trucks.

### Recharging the battery

The battery must be charged by Petrenko before it can be used in final repairs. He does not charge you for the service, but instead wants you to help him with a rat problem in the quest Surveillance, after which the battery will be charged and usable.

### Recovering the BTR

When all components have been gathered together, travel back to Undiscovered Land and interact with the BTR until it can be driven.

The shortest path to Yantar is through the Dump and Agroprom, which will take you directly up to the scientists' base. Once there, the BTR can be parked at the bunker gate, and the army tools turned in to a rather enthusiastic Kruglov.

Return to Voronin for your reward.

## Notes

* The Army tools weigh 3.1kg and the car battery weighs 10.1kg. Together with the four gas canisters this can be a considerable amount of weight to carry to the BTR, but since the canisters and battery are consumed on use it's not likely to be a problem.
* The BTR itself appears to be invincible, but the player can easily be hit while driving by explosive damage and mutants simply walking up and hitting you. This is made even worse by the fact that endurance and health regen appears to be paused while driving.
* Pressing the flashlight button closes the hatches on the front.
* Third-person mode can be toggled while driving, but the camera is blocked at most angles. It is useful when trying to maneuver in tight spots but likely will not be needed.
* Whirligig anomalies won't destroy the BTR, but they'll take you for a ride and possibly toss it into a position where it can get stuck.
* Beacon you receive as a reward is one of Artifacts for Dragunov.

## Bugs

* Like with all vehicles, the BTR can get stuck on seemingly trivial objects very easily. In some situations it may be useful to throw down a rucksack or "Typhoon" Turret to get it unstuck.
