Reading the topic “Interesting Migration” about Tyrants migrating to other areas where they can’t be spawned, made me think if it would be wise to kill at least the Vulture before Showdown update is released, to make sure that the Vulture is not “spoiling” the Showdown Missions. I have a Reaper in the Forest Region, but I think that far enough away to not spoil the mission experience. :coffee:

If the map, with the 10 red dots on it, are areas we must go to as part of the showdown, you may run into all kinds of machines and bosses along the way. And don’t forget all the fnix bases that will also be in your path.

Could do a back up save with and without before the update and then go back and try each to see which one you like more. :wink:

O, I am surely going to make a backup from before the showdown mission starts, because I expect that some areas during those missions might not be accessible afterwards. So I like to be able to do the mission again and again.

But I meant that the Vulture is rather aggressive, and much harder to avoid then the normal Rivals or machines. I like to be able to explore the world in peace. I fought him plenty of times. I left him in the Marshlands when I closed GZ. I will see tomorrow if he is still there or if he went back to the farmlands.

But now I going back into the Stalker wasteland for a few hours be stealthy like a :ninja:.

They look pretty nice, I’m saving the vulture and the reaper on my map and waiting to kill them until after the update so I might have a chance at getting at least one of them immediately

Are they only dropping from Tyrants? Good point if that is so. I better rethink my idea to kill the vulture before the update. :coffee:

Someone on discord (was it even Carni himself?) advised to stock up rivals and tyrants to get the weapons as fast as possible.

I don’t think they are supposed to only drop from tyrants, at least as far as I know lol, but I would save it until after just because the tyrants have a higher experimental chance

Do you know if Carni said anything about plans for the Prestige Points? Or will they still be left unusable?

I’m really curious about the «Any ammo AI-76».
Can it really be that you can simply pop in a full 46 round magazine with 12 ga. Buckshot or .50 BMG and go fully berserk??
If so, that would be an insanely overpowered weapon, and would render a lot of the other weapons obsolete…
There has to be some major drawback, right?
What do you guys think?

Not as far as I know.

That’s the Main question for me, too.
I can’t imagine that any ammo would have all the same magazine size, if they did it good.

I also wonder If the standard extended mag of the AI-76 can be applied (and if it has a bonus for any ammo), if there’s a new special one, or if we may attach any extended mag, which öfters just an extended magazine size for the related ammo.

I was hesitating to post this post from Steam but I will post it and hope that the devs could read it. Apparently there was a video about a battle climax posted and deleted in one discord site and someone got 3 screencaps of that battle climax. Finally Steam post included a collage of the 3 screencaps and heavily edited to not give a dead give-away.

One can’t expect the Devs start changing scenes just before the update is going to be released. I take it that that was not an official video from the devs?

If there’s a will, there’s a way. Even a cut scene will do. To quote someone on Steam:

Devs: Pls give justice to the ending.
I wish to see the final destruction scene in full view and let it run longer so we can savor the victory
