Needs an update. You can get 4 collars: Do the anomaly collar first, then go fight the dogs in the village for the second. Nightingale's body has one as well as a perfect condition AKM-74S, and the Bloodsucker drops the fourth. Tell Hamster the collar was on a bloodsucker, and he gives you a free NATO pistol suppressor for your trouble. Turn in 4 collars for 3k coupons, sell the AKM-74s for another 3k. Full rewards: 6k Coupons and NATO pistol suppressor.
