Episode 2 Query

[sierra 117]

I'm currently setting up a temp base outside of the dam ,waiting for the aurora, so I can get through, I want to be ready to move out straight away so I have time to search the lower dam.

my problem is I'm carrying a lot of weight, and am curious if I need the bolt cutters/ if I should just leave them behind.

Also before I leave does anyone know of another rifle cleaning kit location?

The one I got with the rifle wouldn't work ,and I ended up losing it after dropping it on the ground a few times,trying to get it to work then it just vanished.

So I now have a rifle that I cant use for fear of breaking it(its at like38% condition).and with my upcoming trip , I am tempted to just leave it .

I havent done all of the side missions leaving some stuff for a replay so may have missed another cleaning kit.(still have a few caches and hank and jeremiahs bunker to find.)

any info would be appreciated especially regarding th rifle situation.

Keep the rifle and dump the cutter. It's too heavy and situational. In STORY mode, if/when you need it again, chances are you'll find a new one not too far.

Yeah I was thinking that too cant see them expecting a newer player to lug that thing all the way to PV.But the sandbox hoarder in me made me carry it all the way to ML before thinking that
