Lucky Me

[Bloodskye]

Soo this is clearly a bug but I'll take it. I kept going into the window to pass through the Dam and Vaugh's Rifle just kept spawning. Now I have 3 of them. They stopped spawning after the third one.

If the trader was already added, I'd bet they buy those extras for a high price!

You got my spawn, it never appeared in my game!

I don't know why but I read your comment in the voice of Resident Evil 4's merchant 😂

Think I had the same loose car battery spawn about 7 or 8 times in the Quonset garage. Got them all stashed, but I'm still debating whether or not to harvest them.

I'll take em... I do happen to have an extra bearskin bedroll, however I strongly recommend the ptarmigan-infused bedroll instead.  It's warmer and lighter. Plus you get to shoot arrows at those absolutely adorable ptarmigans to keep it in good condition. WAY better than that bear...!!!
No expedition parka but I have an extra moose hide coat in a locker somewhere, I forgot where tho. You can have it, it's heavy.

You guys are getting all the good stuff in update bugs. Am jealous.

The only cool thing i found was one single node that spawns double birch bark.

Big wolf-hairy deal.

This actually makes me want to get back on my main run and see if it can happen there. Plus the Curator's Rifle seems fixed so I'll need to grab that.

Just remembered - I also found a bonus pair of crampons earlier on my current run (same one with the batteries). Can't actually remember where they were, but I think it was shortly after I'd grabbed the regular pair from the mine, so I think it was probably somewhere in AC or TWM, but I could easily be wrong. Just lying about in the world in a normal random loot spot - kinda took me by surprise. Don't think I've found the Curator's rifle yet in this run tho, so maybe that was my compensation.

Sadly still no Curator's Rifle on my main run....sigh, still bugged. Also my main HAD the boats that wash up on CH but they were invisible with the loot just floating. And there were two of them right next to each other. Same loot in the same spots. Guess I should be grateful for the double flare guns.

Yup, I think I just had a phantom boat in CH too - distress pistol, coupla flare shells, marine flare & a fish all floating together on the tideline.

In my opinion, Vaugh's Rifle is the best variant anyway.  I think that "better durability" beats "more damage" as the more valuable trait every single time.
I'd be fine with missing out on the Curator's Rifle in exchange for three of Vaugh's.

Sounds like a very lucky bug!  I'm headed to Ash Canyon next in my current run.

I'm currently in the cave system between Bleak Inlet and Forlorn Muskeg and intending to head to Mystery Lake on the way to Ash Canyon.  Perhaps I'll take a detour to check on those. 🤭

I left it in the cave ,so help yourself😊. 

 

I'm happy taking the curators but I don't have an issue with visiting the cannery to fix it,so I kind of get why you prefer Vaughn's..  curators is very pretty though😊

Oops, I made a mistake (and it's worth clarifying, I think)

I mixed up my variants... I cited Vaugh's Rifle, but I realize now I had confused Vaugh's Rifle with Barb's Rifle.

It was Barb's Rifle that has the better durability...
Differences from Hunting Rifle:
Base weight is 0.5kg more than the Hunting Rifle
Firing rate is the same as the Hunting Rifle
Reload cooldown is the same as the Hunting Rifle
Total durability is 33% more than Hunting Rifle
Range is the same as the Hunting Rifle

Vaugh's Rifle is actually the opposite.  
Differences compared to the Hunting Rifle
Base weight is 1.0 kg less than Hunting Rifle
Firing rate is 1.0 second quicker per shot than Hunting Rifle
Reload cool-down is 0.5 seconds quicker than Hunting Rifle
Total durability is 33% less than Hunting Rifle
Range is the same as the Hunting Rifle

...so while I misspoke, my sentiment is the same.
I think durability is king among the variants.

This means my ideal set would be:
Woodwright's Bow
Forester's Revolver
Barb's Rifle
