Like Pagan’s Wrath activities, Karma Events appear spontaneously as you move through Kyrat. Marked with a purple diamond on your mini-map, they deliver a nice chunk of karma for a very short time investment.
Karma Events tend to be miniature versions of other quest types.
Assassination
These are simple swoop and snuff assignments. There’s an enemy lieutenant somewhere close by who needs to be relieved of his heartbeat, and you’re the man for the job.
Bomb Defusal
Usually, these take the form of two or more enemy soldiers standing guard around a couple crates of ammo, wired to blow. As with other bomb disposal assignments, if the enemy soldiers see you in the area, they start the countdown and the task gains a timer.
Help the Rebels Fight
These blink-and-you’ll-miss-them skirmishes usually last half a minute, at most. In fact, the biggest challenge in many cases is simply getting to the scene before one side (either the Golden Path or Min’s troops) wipes out the other. These fights are worth chasing down, though.
Hostage Rescue
Hostage rescue events come in two flavors. The simplest form is a prisoner with tied hands trudging through the wilderness, guided at gunpoint by one of Min’s thugs. All you have to do is take out the bad guy, then untie the prisoner for bonus points. A slightly more sophisticated form of hostage rescue will find three or four enemies guarding as many prisoners in a stationary location. Stealth is more important here, because if you’re seen, the soldiers will attempt to kill all the hostages at the same time they open fire on you.
Kill the Courier
That vehicle zooming away? It’s driven by a courier carrying sensitive military secrets. Take him out and get the documents.
Predator Attack
A savage beast is menacing the good citizens of Kyrat. Put it down.
