The Psychopath Mission Description
You will receive "The Psychopath" Mission in zone: Ranger HQ from The Patriarch.
This is Primary Mission with recommended Level 17.
The story of this mission takes place in: Aspen Map, Little Hell Map.
Mission Steps:
Vic Buchanan, the Patriarch's son, recently reemerged from exile with an army of drugged-addled freaks at his back and has taken the mountain town of Aspen. The Patriarch wants him returned to Colorado Springs alive.
Travel to Aspen and Arrest Vic Buchanan.
Victory Buchanan, the Patriarch's eldest son, has invaded the town of Aspen. It sounds like anyone who was there when he arrived is dead or about to be.
Miriam Knox asked us to look for her husband, Hardee, who may be a hostage in Aspen. The Knoxes are part of the Hundred Families, and seem wealthy. If we save Hardee, we should talk to Miriam about the reward she promised.
The Patriarch told us he's heard that Vic has some Rangers held hostage.
We spoke via radio to a captured Ranger, Riley Woodson. He advised us that Vic working with a gang called The Breathers, and is holding some of Riley's squad capitive.
According to Woodson, Vic is locked away in the Patriarch's wing of the ski lodge. Woodson thinks one of the Psychopath's cronies, a weirdo named Ash, has a key to get inside.
We found Ash's control room, but he claims to have a "kill switch" that will kill all the hostages if we break inside. We should rescue the hostages before we try to bust inside.
Ash can't threaten the hostages anymore. We should return to the security control room and force our way inside.
We've acquired the key to the Patriarch's wing. Now we can go inside and confront Vic.
Return to The Patriarch in His Palace Colorado Springs.
Now that Vic is dealt with and Aspen is secured, we need to report back to the Patriarch in his palace.
We informed the Patriarch that Vic is in holding in the Ranger HQ brig. He was satisfied with the outcome.
