How to unlock: Listen to Kurt over the radio.
Difficulty level: medium
Reward: 4500 experience, Blueprint (Kurt's Bombs)
You can unlock this mission after completing the Steal from a Thief side quest. Wait for Kurt to contact Crane over the radio. Go talk to Jaffar (number 11a on the map) and talk to Kurt himself (number 10a on the map). After the conversation, head to the highway and locate the truck with the battery (number 11c on the map). There are enemies near the truck (among them a Toad and a Goon), which you should eliminate or distract. Approach the truck and collect the Car Battery.
Return to Kurt with the battery. He will make a list of other resources that you need to obtain: 6 Metal Parts, 6 Power Cables and 6 Household Supplies. These objects can be found when exploring the world, receive from the quartermasters or buy from merchants. Give Kurt all the items and leave the place for now, as he will need some time to prepare the bomb. Return to the man after he contacts Crane over the radio. Take Kurt's Bomb from the table.
You have to plant the bomb in the nearby tunnel (number 11d on the map), but according to Kurt's warning, you cannot do this during the day, because Volatiles hide in there. Reach the tunnel in the evening, hide in a place that is far away from the main roads and wait until night comes. Observe the Volatiles going out of the tunnel and allow them to walk a bit farther.
Note - if you're noticed by the monsters, quickly run to the nearby light trap and activate it.
You can now go inside the tunnel. Reach the end of it and plant the bomb in the place marked by the game. Don't hurry with your escape, because the bomb won't explode the first time. Listen to Kurt and go back to the bomb to fix it. Now, as quickly as you can, run away from the tunnel so that you don't get killed by the explosion or attacked by Volatiles. You can go back to Kurt to collect the Blueprint (Kurt's Bombs).
