Hey, it looks like you're going on an adventure right? Well, I can't in good conscience let you go out there without some basic gear first. Don't worry about upkeeping it, it'll basically take care of itself, and it'll be replaced if you ever lose them or give them to somebody else. The essence makes sure that even if there's magical bullshit, it's still fully useable.
*A lighter and a compass. You never know when those will come in handy. Nothing too special about the compass, but the lighter lasts forever.
*A submachinegun. It's got poor accuracy and overheats like hell. That's why they call it a Bastard gun. Help yourself to some ammo too. You can take as much as you can carry now, and then 30 rounds a day in a shiny new box magazine.
*There's also a personal pistol shotgun too. It's single shot and fires a 12 gauge shotgun shell. Best to save it for emergencies. The shells are all loose, so take as many as you can fit in your pockets. You'll get four new ones every week.
*A head lamp for if you go into any dark places. It's 500 lumens and it's LED powered so it should basically last forever. It also has a bit of UV band too, just in case you run into spoopy shit that's vulnerable to that.
*Night Vision Goggles are good for seeing in the dark without giving away your position. If you ever need to do sneaky stuff, that's what you want to use.
*Here's a universal charger to keep the batteries powered.
*Military Grade Ammunition is great for when you really really need to make something dead. You get 30 today and ten every week.
*Army issue first aid kits. The provided squeeze bulb syringe in each one contains a drug that speeds up your natural healing processes. Take two now, and then you'll get another one every week.
*And a gas mask. Put it on if there's something really nasty in the air like chemicals or radiation or viruses and shit. It takes a 40mm NATO standard filter and these things last for about 8 hours. You get two filters in protective packaging and one new one per month.
*Here's a watch that keeps track of all sorts of stuff, like the time, how long your filter will last and also lights up if you're easily visible.
*Alright, you're supplied my friend. Also while you're here, feel free to try your weapons on my firing range. There's also other accessories like barrel shrouds or silencers and stuff and you can go nuts with those before you go.
