Default The Fog - blind shot

Hi all,

I just had a really cool shot at a merchant. Using the Environment Mod 2.0 I got into heavy fog, you know, 200m visibility.

I made out a merchant via hydrophon and chased him for about 4 hours real time (more than 6 in game). I must have crossed her course several times, I probably passed her in 1000m distance without seeing her. As if the fog wasnīt enough, night fell and I had to hurry up.

Finally, when the sun was just setting, I figured out the merchantīs course and followed her blindly (thatīs what men do when it comes to women).

Suddenly I spotted a shadow before me and a blurred reflection on the water. The merchant was about 200m ahead of me and I still couldnīt really see her. So I fired a blind shot at the reflection before me, and actually hit her right from behind (I know, one shouldnīt do that). Now I could see what I had hit for the very first time. I finished her off with the deck gun at 100m distance. This was really spooky and I enjoyed this strange chase a lot! Probably the thick fog isnīt a bug, itīs a feature
