Quests

 * Big Pipe needs to be killed for the quest Stray Dogs.

Location
Big Pipe and the other members of the the Goon squad, Knight and Birdeye can be found on the following locations:

Customs
At the Scav base (ZB-013 extraction) building with the numerous mounted weapons. 

Woods
At the antenna in the northwest (Scav Bunker Extraction). 

Shoreline
At the weather station on the hill in the southeast. 

Lighthouse
At the water treatment plant in the north, and at the blue chalet. 

Note: According to the patch notes of patch 0.12.12.30, which introduced the Goon squad, they "do not stay in one location, but wander through them" and "if they are at one location, they will be absent from the others". Despite the patch notes saying this, there have been reports from the community that they have been encountered at the same time, or in a very short time span on different locations.

Behavior
When a player is spotted by any one of the Goons, Knight and Big Pipe both rush the player.

Lighthouse Chalet
Try to push into the chalet and wait in the first floor sauna room for them to push you. Use the rocks on the east side in order to safely enter the building.

Customs Scav base
The best way to deal with the Goons on Customs is to gain their attention while you are at the "Crackhouse" (medical building east of the Scav base). This can easily done by just walking around near the second story windows.

After gaining the attention of the Goons your best choice to kill them would be to sit in a room such as the dining room on the first floor and close the door, as this will create a small time period of them opening the door allowing you to shoot them with no repercussions.

Keep in mind that Birdeye will stay behind and wait till the action is over to show himself. In order to get Birdeye to show himself you either can wait for him to push you after you kill Knight]] and Big Pipe, or you could throw grenades in his direction in order to pinpoint his location.

Woods Scav bunker
Due to the Goons extremely long spotting distance it is a hard task to fight them at this location. This means that trying to fight them at this location is a very high risk decision.

Shoreline Weather station
You first want to get the attention of the Goons. This can be easily done by playing a game of "Chicken" with them by quickly running up and down the hill until you hear voice lines or you start getting shot at.

Once you gain their attention you want to run down the hill a little bit and wait for them to push you. Make sure to not hold an angle where only your head is exposed, such as leaning behind a tree.

Both Knight and Big Pipe will rush towards you, giving you a chance to shoot them. After Big Pipe and Knight are dealt with, Birdeye will reposition to find an angle on you, or he will rush you.

Birdeye is an extremely easy kill if he's out in the open and in close range. If he decides to reposition your best options are to throw grenades to find him or try to get him to rush you by continuously re-peeking him until he pushes you.
