Quick notes
- The mercenary begins with a single target. The player arrives to find the Jackal but becomes entangled with competing factions.
- The Jackal and Reuben provide different accounts. The arms dealer is the original target, while journalist Reuben records and investigates the war.
- Faction leaders are employers within the conflict. Mbantuwe and Tambossa represent the UFLL and APR.
- Underground contacts serve a different purpose. Father Maliya and the civilian network connect survival medicine with document-delivery tasks.
