Hmmmm…so once you clear the 3 objectives, you must wait til they become active again. this keeps people from just playing night and day non stop.

I encountered one of my objectives and it was covered in dirt with a notice that read Good Luck reaching it

ppfffttt…

I had to turn off multiplayer for the first(?) wreck. It was just nuts. :grin:
Tried to get a screenshot, but it doesn’t do it justice.

Half the time the animals were flying too. And some of the other players.

Yeah, I saw that M too, and it was annoying.

Quite cool from halfway up the mountain though.

Had to head into town to meet a friend, only got the first three milestones done.

Looking forward to catching up and reaching this McDonalds you are all talking about, didnt have a chance to grab any before the bus home.

I’m at the busy place shown in your screenshots, but can’t interact with anything (tried boltcaster and Gravgun), even after switching off multiplayer… but it’s almost midnight here, I’ll worry about it tomorrow. :wink:

Yeah, try coming back to it with MP off in advance. Though it worked straight away for me.

Maybe I should charge for my new found prediction powers. :eyes:

$10 and i’ll predict SM being in the game himself. Its a bargain, if you ask me. :new_moon_face:

there are wing like pieces on the sides and pieces on the end that look like a thruster. You need to yank those off with the grav gun. It requires a lengthy press to pull them loose

This was tricky in VR cos the gravity gun in general is hard to aim and has a shorter range in vr, you almost need to be aiming below the thing you want to grab.

I was stuck on this for a while as a result, especially with everyone else pulling their own versions out.

It looked like the last one I needed to get was inside by the icon displayed. After many minutes of trying I realises it was the eye around the front it wanted me to grab.

I still had fun yanking them out and analysing them from all sides, nice to have new bits to gawk at and they’re very detailed and animated.

They feel like the autophage in a sense, cobbled together by bits, but somewhat more advanced tech. Something angrier has crawled its way out from the Glass it seems.

Just started phase 2, on my way to the crimson liar, feeling like this is a bad idea.

Do you think the Swarm may have been the entities that first spoke to us in The Cursed?

Adrift gave us our first taste of The Autophage before they were added with a continuation of the story lore to the main game.

Get the feeling the cursed and the swarmed, both if they’re not one and the same, might arrive with the big ten anniversary update leading to ppssibly the final arc in the Void Mothers story?

Isn’t there a bit in the lore about swarms of drones coming thru. They kept coming in waves. Isn’t this the back story for Polo and Nada? I have a hard time keeping it all straight

We really need to dig into the story in this Expedition. It feels very important

I will be going back in later to work another round for the Sages.

Go Sages!!!
