Dragnet – Reefer Madness

This is the city. Los Angeles, California.

It's a big one. Homes, buildings, churches, jails. One million cars, two million people. Most of them work for a living. Some prey on the weak instead, and on their weaknesses. Drugs. Marijuana. Dope. When they do, that's were I come in. I'm a cop.

It was Monday, October 23rd. I was working the day watch out of Narcotics. My partner is Ben Romero. My boss is Captain Kearney. My name's Friday.

We were being sent to a small house out in the West LA suburbs. Reefers were being sold out of there. Sold to the weak. Sold to the neighborhood kids. It was our job to stop them.

Special Instructions:
Obviously the mission can be played out in standard Door Kickers mode, but to really enjoy the entire Dragnet[en.wikipedia.org] TV show experience, I strongly suggest you follow the steps listed below:

1. You will need the following mods subscribed and active.
Sidearm Weapon Pack
Stealth Doctrine
No Armor All Classes

2. When starting the mission, you need to select for your two officers the Pointman class.

3. Once you have selected Pointman, you need to make two changes to their loadouts. For a sidearm, you should select the Colt Detective Special, standard for Sergeant Joe Friday. And for armor, go to the bottom of the list and select the No Armor option. A 1950's TV detective doesn't wear body armor.

4. Ignore your support and utility gear. A Dragnet detective has only his gun and his wits.

5. You'll notice that you have no intel on the interior of the house or garage. There's no fancy police surveillance cameras in the 1950's. You'll find out what the instead of the house looks like when you go in.

Author's Notes:
Remember to use cover! With no armor and a five shot revolver, every bad guy is better armed than you are. Move slow and check sight lines. And expect trouble.

I didn't do what I did in my last three levels, edit the background image for flooring, carpets, etc. I just don't think it really adds much to this mission, since with the "no intel" setting in the editor everything is dark anyway. If folks would let me know if they think that having that level of detail would enhance their enjoyment I'll do it different next time.

As usual, a big thanks to Red Panda for some great mods! They have been a big help in creating this mission.
