Welcome to the multiverse!
It’s just a random pool for the Spiderman to pick from for it’s interactions after you place it’s soul afaik
Wait, would choosing one choice over another skew helmet rewards? Or only for this Savefile?
It shows both options in the customization menu on a normal save, so I’m guessing once you have the end of the expedition reward, you get both?
No you only get one but expedition rewards are tied to an account level on your save file so just need to run through it a second time for the other choice. The bright side being you won’t have to wait for community goals to complete second time around.
do you have to redo it, or are you able to just reload the game to claim the other?
You could make a manual save and reload it I suppose just be careful as they’ve changed what is now a manual and an auto save.
Getting out of a ship used to be an autosave but I think it’s a manual save now and will overwrite a save you made at a beacon or save station. I learned that the hard way a few weeks back went afk for what was supposed to be two mins. I thought it’s cool, I made a manual save just before landing if this takes longer and I’ve died twice I’ll just reload the manual save
I’ll be willing to test this, in my head it sounds like if you claim one then give something (or not, I don’t think it’s necessary in this context) then reload the save and take the other, if it is an unlocked across account like the QS items. It could work?
Posting this here as I hit the bug that let me put the mind in the construct before it was patched so still spoilery for main arg/expedition discussion.
I think even if we do the expedition twice and make both decisions, your choice reflected in the nexus in all other saves will be the last one made.
I’ve noticed the construct is speaking in crimson in all my other saves, which was the choice i made on my second playthrough (did two runs before they patched it XD Did not realise it was an error at the time)
In my expedition saves its still screaming about the others fyi.
I’ve been trying to pull diffs for the save data and season files but I can’t find something that’d save that bit of progress account wide. I guess it might be a part of the account data file, gonna have to look over it’s format and see how it works. the only thing I’ve seen about this “locking” mechanic so far is that both optional milestones have each other as a “cancelling condition”.
One of these days, I’m gonna ask how you do what you do
I noticed this as well on PC. In my main save the construct speaks in the decision I made. So it seems from what you guys say, we can get both helms but only 1 decision will count.
We are taking sides…
Would Save reloading likely change this outcome if we were to go for both helmets?
I don’t know because we now have the autosave feature. It may save as soon as you decide which to give…and if you look at @ThatBomberBoi post above, it seems only 1 decision will count no matter what we do so make sure your 2nd attempt is your final decision.
I am playing on 2 systems so I have chosen Atlas on PC. Will choose Atlantid on PS5
I know we have more reason to trust in the atlas since essentially it is our existence and any reason to rally against it is futile BUT… Have you noticed the colours of our forum? I don’t understand sports I just pick the side that has the colour I like the most XD So I’m all in on Atlantid.
Actually, now that the nexus lights have gone purpley pink, it fades into the orange light at the base in the nexus portal room, looks ALOT like the A logo for atlas-65 I’ll return with a photo <3
The elvis manager tactic. Sell merch for the fanbase and the hatebase
Nah. I am just a completionist. My PC game has my coveted save. PS5 is just for fun.
I am wondering when my Next base will crash my whole game, and maybe it already is. I have every item from Next til now in that base. And it is made of the old base pieces. It is totally loyal to the Atlas.
I bought the game on PC and PS4 at launch but rarely played PC version cos mine wasn’t the best for gaming, was more on hand in case I wanted to see some mods or something.
Very glad I had that save from 2016 on PC because I only started playing that version properly recently and so I have access to legacy parts with that guy <3
I know I could use a save editor if I didnt but I am going to gloat that I did not have to resort to a save editor. commences gloating
edit

Are they finally acknowledging our existence in game? <3
I’m pretty familiar with the save states of the game, like how restore points and manual saves are very similar, but auto saves are different. I learned that while retaining a capital freighter (which autosave on entry) event
I’m still willing to try, just for a confirmed answer. If all else fails, can always do another save.
If it does work, it would be convenient to get all the dialogue recorded.
Well they did say this was a 4 part ARG…and we are ARG HQ.
I just want an og ETARC logo decal
