+1, I’m curious if, after the mission, we could go by Courier aspr9ngs and check out those lights
Remind me about this after the mission is done, I guess.
Let's buy the best scope we can for our rifle, if at all possible. And a stand it can rest on, for easier sniping.
Once we get that, let's go to that neighbourhood, find a secluded spot, and spy on this birthday party using the scope.

+1 If we can still buy stuff I think we should get a few flashbangs as those things saved us in the last mission.
--- MISSION PREP ---A few flashbangs, one 4x rifle scope, and a bipod later, you're left with
$210.58 in money and a customized Mini-14. 5.56x45 may not be adequate enough for hunting deer, depending on who you ask, but
5.56x45 sure is adequate enough for hunting men.Concealment of your Mini-14 might be an issue. The area where Lumbago Joe lives does have a gunstore nearby, though, so you may be able to defuse any suspicious bystanders by
claiming to be going to the firing range or claiming to be going hunting. You do just that when you call a rideshare service and assure the driver that you're going hunting, and arrive in the plaza near Lumbago Joe's house.
--- MISSION START ---It's a sunny day over 73rd Yorktown Street. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, the rose gardens smell lovely today, all that crap. In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man like Lumbago Joe would be king. But you've got two eyes and a .45, and all he has is diabetes and cataracts, most likely. You hear the sounds of a birthday party on Lumbago Joe's front lawn and an excited child crying "Mommy! Mommy! Look at me go!" as you step out into the plaza.
From the plaza, you see several buildings, and have a clear line of sight to Lumbago Joe's house. --- NORTH: THE TARGET'S HOUSE ---On the front driveway of Lumbago Joe's house,
several men are sitting in a half-circle of chairs and drinking alcohol by a barbecue.
Several other children in the front yard run around in circles playing various games with each other, ranging from tag to kickball.
A busy playground lies next to Lumbago Joe's house, filled with excited children using swingsets and sandboxes as their parents supervise them.
A closed shed lies in the corner of the playground.Closer to you are two complexes containing a variety of functions, ranging from apartments to businesses. Both complexes have attics with windows on the upper floors,
but only Complex #1 has access to a rooftop. A sky-light connects both complexes to each other.
--- WEST: SHADY BACK ALLEY ---To the west is a parking lot, a cafe, and a Shady Back Alley™ where men in vans full of unknown goods of dubious legality are hanging out. Some buyers are exchanging money for
black market goods, while others are trying to fundraise for someone's funeral expenses.
You think you see one of the buyers purchasing what appears to be an oil filter and attaching it over his gun.
Looks like an improvised suppressor, but the size of that thing is clearly blocking his iron sights. Might be cheaper than buying an actual suppressor from the gunstore, too.
--- EAST: NEIGHBORS, POLICE STATION ---To the east is a
gun store (with roof access via a ladder in the back), where muffled gunfire rings out from the shooting range.
Lumbago Joe's neighbors and a police station are further to the east, and one of Lumbago Joe's neighbors, an older man, is sitting out on the porch with a rifle in his lap and a bottle of whiskey in his arms.
A warning sign titled
"TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT! SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN!" is sticking out of the older man's front yard. You notice that the older man sitting on his porch is watching his sons carefully, who are setting off
massive fireworks that give off an even bigger bang.Other signs can be seen on the rest of the front yards, promoting local gun clubs and even militias. Other neighbors are out on their front lawns, some with
rifles slung over their shoulders, and observing the fireworks display.
Further to the east is a
police station, all the way in the distance.
Response times will be quick if someone calls 911, so keep an escape route in mind for when you perform the hit on Lumbago Joe. Watch out for the neighbors if you cause any trouble.--- SOUTH: BREWERY, OFFICES, EXIT ZONE---To the south is a brewery, which is closed for the day. Sunlight pours through the windows of the brewery, with not a single sign of life behind those windows.
An office building is also to the south, which isn't too occupied. There are only a fraction of the workers you'd expect of such an office being present inside.
Further to the south is Street C, where cars come and go, and the
"Exit Zone" where you can make your escape after killing Lumbago Joe.--- DECISION TIME ---This is one busy plaza. The upper floors of any multi-floor building should be secluded enough to observe Lumbago Joe's house more carefully, but where? Should you use the
Gun Store or Shady Back Alley to stock up on any more supplies you need, such as suppressors to muffle the noise of your gunfire? Or could you
time your gunshots so that they are obscured by the massive fireworks going off overhead?
You'll need to
identify Lumbago Joe too. Plenty of these residents are older men with beards, but none of them have only one eye. Finding somewhere to set up overwatch and safely identify your target (and possibly snipe him) would be a good idea.
