Is this that hard to find? I mean I have perk explorer on one of my char and I searched whole world and in previous session I never found special encounter. Anyone who found this I would like you to help me find it :) Please post some tips and hints
-
There is some places on map where you can meet that ;)
-
3rd season i play,. never found one,. not sure if i would know if i did tho ,. is it like normal encounter where u fall into it,.
or is it a green dot that shows up on WM ? if that is the case i think i have found some, but did not enter them lol
-
Everybody is saying somewhere near themepark but I searched there and nothing

They said truth. Just keep searching.
And to the author of this thread, of course it's quite hard to find them, you can find them two of the bests gunz in this game.
-
it is very unexpectable. Once i found it after few minutes of my presence in that location, then i tried to search another and after 8 hours i did not have luck..
-
I found 1 last month, 10 mins later server went down (roll back :'( )
-
I know that Special encounters are on special squares, that need some requierments, (luck or perception maybe dunno),
ask friends from gangs which farm them ;-).

Can't be luck. I've found 2 special encounters this era. 1 luck character, but I have 176 OD and all the associated support perks.

Nice was it near themepark?
-
Look at the end of the video
-
Lol. I went to this place you were, I mean same coords, and I found it in few seconds :D
Btw. is that true there is gauss rifle somewhere there?
-
Someone was trolling you
-
Is the perk "Explorer" useful/required to find this encounter?
-
I think it helps you to find it faster. Anyway I know that some guys found it with characters without explorer perk and even 1 luck.
-
I don;t know much about special encounters but I think it has to do with LUCK and outdoorsman. Last wipe I was leveling my sniper near Theme Park(obviously) and bam Hidden Bunker encounter then 2 days later another one.

Two times with same char?
-
I'd like to ask about the same - is it possible to find it multiple times with one char?
-
There are no requirements or anything that increases the chance to find those encounters otherwise players would make special characters to find them quickly so that's exploitable , abusable bla bla bla and i think developers have thought about that.
So i'm quite sure everyone has the same chance to find that bunker. If someone thinks pumping some special stats to 10 helps , tagging skills , choosing the right traits or whatever nonsense players can think of is just " in your head "
Personally found one bunker this wipe with a character who had 5 mercenaries in party , it really doesn't make any difference , just think straight.
-
I think it's been mentioned before that it's totally random no matter what stats or perks.
And thus all these ideas that certain things make it appear fast is all just coincidental, ways for people to attempt to rationalize it for some reason.
Erm, what T-888 said.
-
I still don't know what about finding it multiple times with one character?

You can only find special encounter 1 (ONE) time per character.
-
Confirmed by dev/gm? Or it's just your opinion?

Seriously?

Why shouldn't I've been asking not seriously?

You ask for answer, you are given answer, then suddenly throw out there you want it from dev/gm.
I've been around long enough to know anyways bro.
-
I just asked if that was ever confirmed. Didn't asked answer from GM/Dev now.
And FO changes so quickly and so unknown to players, that no one can be sure anything.
-
That might be an observation witch could be very likely be in his head too , not reliable because the chance to find that bunker is ridiculously low and you know real life luck does it's own thing sometimes. What i mean by real life luck ?
I can explain even that , let's say the chance to find that bunker is 0.001% chance per tick on world map so if i'm not wrong on average you would find 1 special encounter per 10000 ticks on world map. Though there is a chance very small chance that you would find it only after 15000 or 5000 ticks, actually the possibilities are endless how you can get lucky or unlucky , nor it's possible to calculate when you are going to be unlucky or lucky.
To explain that even better , it's like if you really would flip a coin up to infinitive times the ratio between the landed coins heads/tails would tend to reach those perfect 50% with millions of zeros and 01 in the end if rounded up or down it doesn't matter.
I can flip a coin 8 times and there is a chance that the coin will land all 8 times on heads , you can calculate the chance of that happening but you never know when it is going to happen , i'm still scratching my head over this at least was in school.
My point , if it's an observation you now have an idea how horribly wrong it can be , so from a players point of view i think it's impossible to know that unless direct information has been provided from developers.
-
And as always they provide no informations. And calls that beta tests... :-X
-
There has not been a single reported incident of having one char get 2 of the same special encounter. (although I remember Crazy mentioning he could've sworn he did, not confirmed)
Until that day comes it's safe to assume it's 1 per character. ;)
And yes, Pandaed, you were essentially asking for gm/dev confirmation... When you asked for it, lul.

Actually it all depends on the coin as engravings on coins are different on each side which results in a slightly different weight on each side which after 10,000 times makes a very noticeable difference because the side with the slightly more weight is more likely to land face down. Which means that the side with the slightly less weight is more likely to land face up.
A few micrograms can make a big difference.
-
Then make a virtual coin its no weight and make 50% chance :P

Or think of encounter chance like winning a lottery.

Yes two times with same character.
-
just found it near theme park. luck 1,OD 40

That's the right thing to do in this case.

I found two SE last season: one was Gauss pistol near Thempark, and one was Howitzer shells in the alien desert. Gauss was solo with Luck 6 guy. Shells was with a Luck 1 fighter and i was traveling with a buddy. My fighter was Small Framed so my CW was very low. Those shells are very heavy so i could only carry 2 i think, and i had to drop all my gear to get them. My friend had high CW and got the rest by dropping all his gear too.
This season i found the Gauss pistol again (tiny bunker), again near Themepark. I know a guy who found it twice this season so far, same area. (Dunno about same guy or not). Also another friend found the "Family Graveyard (http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Special_encounters)" SE out just east of Cathedral.
I heard there is a 4th SE not documented on the wiki but i forget now what i was told about it. From my limited info, it seems character builds are not a factor when finding these, but area is. The Themepark bunker does however seem to cover a very wide area around Themepark - it's not just the same couple of zones. Some people find it northwest of TP, some people find it southeast of TP.
More TMI from Marko.
-
I never found a family grave :) special encounter, and I doubt there is a 4th special encounter that is not on wiki. Or you could consider the encounter where you can get FCC a special encounter. That would make 4 special encounters.
-
I've only found the Family grave, and I have theorized that because the "Special Encounters" In the original games were effected by perks, but not by location, and that this game as multiple characters running around that they have a "Set" area where they MAY spawn. The Themepark one seems to be an obvious test of that, and I've had people damn near pin point the area where I got the Family Grave, however that was 2 wipes ago, and at that point the perks did at least Mention they helped with 'special encounter' finding, now they do not.

Gauss with Gatling near Themepark
Family Graveyard near Waterworks

Abandoned howitzer, If I have not forgotten, in desert near (up) SF-Mariposa. But a shell now not probably to disassemble on gunpowder, bug.
Gauss\Gatling encounter I didn't find more than once one character. But Graveyard found some times.
-
I the one time i found the bunker was on a char that didn't have enough str to loot anything. fml.
