Probably Stolen Serpico: Letter, 2,000 kcal Food Drop & Document Choice
Serpico visits from Day 40. After his letter on Day 48, leave 2,000 kcal of food on the ground at the Dumping Grounds over the nights of Days 48–50. On Day 54 choose who gets the documents (Security needs 50 standing); on Day 57 pick a Worn Large Storage Bay, 4 Module Bay Expansion Kits or 2 Current Converters.

How to deliver the food
- 01
Go to the Dumping Grounds
On the nights of Days 48, 49 and 50. You can drop food and leave without scavenging.
- 02
Put food on the ground slot
Only food on the ground — or in containers on the ground — counts. Food in your backpack or pockets does not.
- 03
Reach 2,000 kcal in total
Calories per unit × number of units, added up across the three nights. Example: a 400 kcal item with 3 units counts 1,200.
Freshness and quality are not checked. On a Maimed start the Dumping Grounds are hidden from the night menu, so this route is unavailable.
