because i'm tired of all the theories and unanswered questions.
build doesn't really matter except for the following for which i'll explain in detail
10PE(+cautious nature), but you don't NEED it but here is why you do want it, it helps with encounter placement putting you closer to exit grid for running away, saving you time inside the unwanted encounter especially if in tb(if you're in tb turn it off).
10Luck again you don't NEED it but it helps in placement and i believe in avoiding encounters(along with ODM), I've never had a problem with encounter placement with a 10 luck char, 1 luck can lead to a bad placement from what I have gathered.
190ODM, you don't need 300 ODM 190 is the max amount you need to get the 95% avoidance rate as its 1% per 2 ODM.
As far as terrain goes I really don't know but here is what i've gathered aslong as it isn't city terrain you'll find either Bunker, Howitzer, or Family gravesite, pick an area and run around like chicken with its head cut off.
as for the random car encounter I really don't know, with the claims of finding them on non-city terrain and city terrain i just can't say with certainty what terrain you wanna be looking on for it, only the Devs know how it works but here is my guess, anywhere within close proximity to a town or on a city grid.
Not exactly the end all or be all for a guide I know, but its as close as you're gonna get without the Dev's clueing us in on some of the mechanics/prerequirement(char level to be exact).
from what I can tell only the random car(Old Warehouse) has a level requirement for it. For the bunker the lowest level i've encountered it on was 12 but i don't think there is a level requirement for it.
Maybe some nice Dev would like to share some knowledge in this thread about special encounter or just maybe something i've overlooked/missed and i'll update it.

Agreed.

So you offer a bunch of "well this is what I THINK"
You say you're tired of theories and suggest nothing but unconfirmed theories....
And then end the thread with what EVERYONE is already asking for... the Devs INPUT.

its the best you're gonna get and you know it, u just mad :P

well i've farmed 30 gausses this season so far, just sharing what I know, i get why its a terrible guide as you look at it and just see someone guessing.

its more like tips, not a guide.

I encountered 2 SE, both alts are LK 10 PE 1 ST 10 EN 10 AG 10 CH 1 IN 2 or 3
And both on desert

ear god people,do you actually believe that just because you build has some magical chosen stat or perk that it is your destiny to find a special encounter.There is no easy way for it.There USED TO be,but now there isn't.
Deal with it.

Before you could farm a spot like east of gecko and farm gauss and gatlings because that area was where that encounter occurred, now its random

fair enough it takes longer.
anyone here farming gausses using one char? I've yet to repeat any of the special encounters. as soon as i get howitzer, family grave and bunker i delete char and start over. not once have i repeated finding the same special enc. anyone?
-
It has been rumored,many people claimed that they got 2 gauss pistol encounters with the same char,but it hasn't been confirmed as far as I know.
-
Haha you seriously delete chars after finding them? Do you ever think that you could be doing pretty much anything with your time and it would have more meaning?
-

best what? a shitty guide like that does nothing, more like a waste of time and why would I be mad?

then why did you waste your time posting to this thread, you didn't exactly offer any good criticism. also note the :P sometime :)

Only the real life luck is involved , I believe in it, ;)

if you need gausses, best way is to help many newbies, they find them occasionaly and most likely sell for 10 or 15k i have found 1 gauss pistol and iam playing like 9 months. but i dont have 1 gauss pistol , i have eight.

or just kill them and grab all the items in STALKER's style

Something to think about?
That's what the devs want you to believe.
You can have it.
The new mechanics work the same way as Wire's "random encounters", which mean the encounter is tailored to a character nick, which means the special encounters are distributed by GMs and not by some mysterious mechanics, which don't exist.
The encounters are placed by GMs hand in places which are supposed to be visited by these type of players. When someone post about it on forums, the coordinates are changed - something i can guarantee.
Because Jovanka in my opinion will choose a simple, GM-driven solution, because arrogance won't let leave this glee for some kind of mechanics, ergo, mechanics which doesn't need to be developed.
IPs of connected players are bound to logged IPs on forum and since the most players are lazy to change IP between bitchposting and playing, the not-favorable profiles can be excluded from the encounter list.
So getting such a special encounter is possible if you are favoured by GM/developer buddy or a "random-noob-getting-special-encounter-just-to-prove-that-are-all-equal." Or when someone is drunk and want to throw some godpowers around.

Please, can some dev be kind enough to enlighten us?
