Did you calculate the sound travel time, when you hear the artillery fire?
Or does the game even have real sound travel times. Echos from explosion are nice, and there is sound travel time, but is that calculated by real height maps.

(just speed read the posts. If you did that, then never mind)

What if that shell if fired from that weird thingy you can find in Torsberga area?

107

the thing near Torsberga exhales a gas when it completes a cycle so I think it is some kind of pump or mining elevator. I doubt it has any projectile launching capabilities.

Also when the projectile hits the ground their is a blue lightning like flash before the rest of the explosion. It is similar to when components on machines are damaged, this makes me think the projectile is not a regular round fired from an existing arty fort, but rather something else like the annoying mortars the hunters will fire, but on a much larger scale.

Thought that I would check that barrage out for myself , so last night I went to MĂ„sskĂ€r. Only seconds after arriving at the safehouse, there was incoming fire at the resistance camp. I didn’t even have to enter MĂ„sskĂ€r.

So, since it was dark, I FT to Stenudden lighthouse to see if I could see a muzzle flash from the next round, but the distance made it way to blurry to see something. I decided to drop it and go to Östervik cargo port to refill some supplies.

Then as I entered the harbour, there was a similiar explosion like the one at MĂ„sskĂ€r. Couldn’t see anything though.
I doubt that the sound from MĂ„sskĂ€r would reach Östervik, so I wonder if there is more stuff going on

to confirm your theories, the shell is very unlikely to come from the fort as if u have progressed ingame you would have disabled it, also if you still think it is, the caliber of the shell is not a FNIX looking shell which looks also like a missile

Also i am going to explore the edges of the map and map out possible sights to debunk or decrease possibilities on my map

I know that you can get on some island with the help of propane tanks (Canisters) but I doubt that there is something going to be there, but I’ll try and help with the research on your map.

111

if you are on pc are ya willing to join me in my research?

112

I don’t even think its a good idea there may be a world border and you might fall out of existence

113

I Tested this before the artillery so its fine,There is one island that I cant get on because it said that I don’t own the content(or something) so that might be the island with the artillery

It’s the big one above Himfjall Island

I think it’s that island because you can see that There will be a Military base or something

114

I did the same thing and got the same result, but the shell came from the wrong direction to be able to come from the island above Himfjall

115

I saw a shell Come from that direction but only once, I don’t know

116

Came from unmapped or mainland island

117

interesting
 that is a good point about the military base, you can see roads on the island and what looks like a small air strip on the east side

118

On my map i wrote that its unlikely as there isn’t enough evidence to prove it

119

That’s the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard about the artillery but I wouldn’t let me there, then there was the Reaper with new Arsenal (Heat/laser seeking Shells)

Allright, this has gotten more attention that I’d anticipate. Thanks for the steps to replicate, because now I have a couple of good clips to use for the next video :slight_smile:

Here’s my contribution to the topic (No HUD clips of the event trigger)

seems we could determine that it has multiple directions to come from and thanks for your contribution, much appreciated.
