Interesting migration

So my fire team and I were deciding what to do the other day after the dailies, and we went looking for our summoned Tyrants, and my friend discovered that the Reaper he summoned in the South Coast was now hanging out in the Artillery Base in the Marshlands. I have to say that facing the Reaper inside the walls of the base was a lot of fun. I was wondering if that was part of the new content, or if anyone else has seen their Tyrants migrate across the map.

Which new content?

Usually I’d say, why shouldn’t a tyrant be able to wander over the borders to other regions?
Ok, from southcoast to marshlands is quite a distance, but… Why not? Cool.

Do you have some good clear screenshots of that Tyrant in Arena encounter? Would be cool to document that.

A south coast spawned reaper showing up in the arena after you closed the game and restarting is common and not anything new.

I just looked at my manual back up save files and the first one I had is dated 18th of Dec 2021. And there are 9 save files of the reaper spawning into the arena on different dates. Most of them are south coast spawned reapers.

That was back when you had to meet the region score and less than 8 rival in the region to spawn the reaper.

I just lured the Vulture from Farmlands to Arena. The reaper would be harder to get him to follow you I think.

The reaper has always spawned there. Either through spawning it in the Marshlands and that is where it spawns or via the South Coast and exit the game then come back later.

i did have a reaper chasing me and as I tried to run towards the truck on the outside, the reaper followed outside the gate. But the drama of being outside was to much and it ran back in. My guess is the reaper is trapped inside the arena.

In the early days of me playing, there was a harvester inside one of the gated areas and you had to open the gate to get to it.

Exactly this happend to me with the Reaper, made me feel like a gladiator in the area :stuck_out_tongue:

No, it’s a bug. And has happened before. This video was posted 10 months ago.

I have had apocalypse hunters go from the farmlands to the mountains and marshlands, but never THAT far

Statements like this are the reason I can’t take you seriously. No Tyrant spawns in the Marshlands because the Marshlands has no bases to assault, so no bunker to summon them from.

MAYBE before we used coords to summon them and they spawned as the 8th Rival, they might have spawned in the Marshlands, but I don’t recall that happening in my game. But that is neither here nor there for the current situation, which requires that they be summoned in the South Coast, the Farmlands, or the Forest regions, and this was the first time one decided, on its own, without being lead, to go to the Artillery Base.

It would, and if I ever thought about taking screenshots, I probably would have, but we didn’t. There’s a burned out container in the arena that you can hide from the firefart behind, so the entire battle is fair from the jump. We had a lot of fun. Also, the hemmed in proximity means the machine gun and homing turrets aren’t garbage. Still want to use a Remote Control Tick on the Reaper. That would be funny. And I will try to screenshot it.

Didn’t do that yet :thinking:
But it’s also funny to make a base assault with rc ticks.
Once did a base assault this way without being detected and attacked. Open all necessary paths with the tick, use the jammer to run in and open the shield generators, then use ticks again to destroy them and finish the command center.

Yes exactly. I think I first reported this back in 2022 (the 2nd time it happened to me) to the support team. It’s a bug. However, Reapers that were spawned in the Marshlands region would sometimes spawn inside the FOA 2 arena. Of course, that was before the Skyfire update June 25th 2024, when the spawning system changed.

Did you check the date of my first reaper in the arena?

Spawning reapers in the marshland was very common for me before the Aug update. I have back up save files dating back before there was a reaper.

This reaper spawned in the marshlands.


Just for grins I loaded the first Marshland reaper save file and opened my game. Here are screen shots of the reaper, note the location, and the map.

This file is from the year 2021.

There has also been a topic started of the reapers continuing to spawn in the south coast. If you close the game after the spawn, the reaper may show up in the arena when you restart the game. And check its region of spawn, it will still be from south coast. This is after the Aug update and the vulture was added.
