Melvin's Research

From DFO World Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

None of the gun barrels and machine components that other adventurers scrounged were the latest model; the Kartels are using everything they have, from recycled components to incomplete and prototype weapons. It's true that the Kartels are suffering from a serious shortage of weapons and soldiers. - Melvin's Report

Unusual Tactics

Level 59
Quest Giver Zeldine Schneider
Briefing Zeldine: "Something is seriously wrong. These weapons are outdated and ill-suited to the kind of battles they are being used in. What are the Kartels thinking? Are they getting overconfident... or are they running out of time? See if Melvin can confirm my suspicions. If these really are old weapons, I think we may have finally outlasted the Kartels."
Objectives Ask Melvin Richter about the Kartel weapons.
Upon Completion Melvin: "What, are the Kartels fielding junk now?"
