What to do if you missed the PM drawing
It is very easy to miss a Makarov pistol or a PM blueprint if you quickly run through locations or inattentively study rooms. However, there is nothing wrong with this:
- If you missed this pistol in a closed complex, then in the open world you will have a second chance to find the coveted PM.
- Almost all weapon recipes, which can be found in chests, drop out randomly, so carefully examine all the iron boxes, especially in the break rooms, to find the missing blueprint.
- If the plot has already gone too far, then you will find a much more powerful arsenal, and the absence of a Makarov pistol will not be a big problem.
To effectively explore rooms and locations, use scanner, which highlights not only enemies, but also useful materials, as well as chests with loot.
