Such armament proves useful to simultaneously hunt & preserve chupacabras and potentially other cryptids in a satisfactory manner for scientific research.

In order to accomplish this mission, Ivan utilizes a cryolaser cannon usually issued for powered armor, repurposed as heavy sniper weapon capable of rapidly freezing solid living beings, armored vehicles, & heavy machinery at long range.

This mission is assigned to the Bear Skulls SOF personally led by Ataman Ivan Braginsky, with assistance from a Texas Rangers commando & fellow revolutionary veteran Monika "Prinz Eugen" Mueller as a spotter & local guide.

Due to the chupacabra's mysterious and possibly extra-terrestrial origin, the Socialist Defense Coalition ordered a special mission to acquire physically intact specimens for their People's Scientific Research Center.

Long believed to be a legend, chupacabras had shown themselves to be a tangible menace of the post-American frontier, preying upon livestock & people alike. Many frontiersfolk tried to hunt them down with meager success owing to the creature's combination of ferocity & elusiveness.
