All aboard the Liberator and get ready for a topsy-turvy adventure around Russia.

In order to reach Ensign, Lieutenant, and Major Rank, your character will need to accumulate a total of 170 positive reputation by completing side quests that are available in the Russia map only. There are a total of 24 side quests available in the Russia map, where you will want to travel to the south of the map to an area marked as "Liberator" above the ocean, which is a large aircraft carrier where you must interact with certain NPC within the ship to trigger each quest.

You will need to complete almost all of the quests in order to accumulate enough positive reputation to reach Ensign, Lieutenant, and Major Rank. You can, however, choose to skip one quest and still accumulate enough positive reputation to reach Major Rank. Once you have accumulated enough reputation, you can interact with Captain Sydney at the captain's deck to finally arise to Major Rank. Do note that you can also accept multiple quests from each NPC at once and make progress towards each quest while you are exploring the Russia map.

Refer to the Map below for each locations you will need to travel to for every side quests.

The Hunt for Jet Fuel

• Meet up with Lieutenant Oswald, who is located on the right side at the Captain's Deck.

• He will task you to do a scouting mission at the Shereyavo International Airport, where the main objective will be placing a Horde Beacon and clearing 100 normal zombies and a mega zombie, which will spawn at the end.

• The recommended gear to bring along is a Horde Beacon (ID 1194) and the Thick Heatwave (ID 57489). You can bring the Headlamp (ID 1199) too if you are doing this mission at nighttime. All items can be found and spawned from the Items section of the Cheats menu.
• You must place the Horde Beacon first at a safe location before you start killing the zombies, as only zombies killed under the influence of the Horde Beacon will count for the quest. The zombies will possess a pair of red eyes when they are under the influence of the horde beacon. The safest place to place the Horde Beacon is on top of any airplanes that are located there.
  • Note: You cannot leave the area entirely after placing the beacon, as doing so will result in the beacon getting destroyed automatically and all the kills you have accumulated will be gone, in which case you will need to place a new beacon and then accumulate the kills all over again.

BUG NOTE During the mission, it is important to understand that after the mega zombie spawns after killing a certain amount of normal zombies, do note that if you accidentally kill the mega zombie when there are still a few normal zombies lying around, the quest will be glitched out and even after killing everything within the perimeter, the quest will simply not mark as complete. To easily fix this, make sure to kill all the normal zombies first before killing the mega zombie as your final kill. By doing so, the quest will now be marked as complete.

• Return to the Liberator and report back to Lieutenant Oswald, where you will be given the next scouting mission and +5 reputation.

First Contact

MINOR BUG NOTE Since you can skip one quest and still reach Major rank, this is the quest that is recommended for you to skip, since to reach the oil rig, you will need to spawn a helicopter from the Cheats menu, and the controls for this vehicle are absolutely horrendous and awkward on the console, not to mention that zombies can glitch out and spawn underwear underneath the oil rig, making it super frustrating to complete this quest.
