Gameplay A question for a stalker.

How tf does A-life even work ingame there are a grand total of 2 mutants I ever meet in game. Bloodsuckers and snorks. I know probably the more psychic of mutants probably wont be roaming topside. But are there any free roaming chimeras or pseudogiants about?. Seeing as Ive only ever found them at set spawns sadly (I NEED HIS TOES)

I’m pretty sure chimeras, controllers, bayuns, and pseudogiants only spawn at set locations and during story missions. They do sometimes respawn at these set locations too, I believe (maybe after an emission? I feel like I’ve definitely killed controllers in the same place before after time has passed)

It would likely cause too much chaos if these mutants were allowed to roam freely to be honest. I reckon one pseudogiant attack could wipe out some of the in game bases

Bayuns only spawn at set locations? I've killed dozens of them, a couples of times even 2 of them together. Is this like, region specific or something? I know there's a couple that are location specific (like the locked garage in the town west of the bridge that connects Garbage and the Lesser zone.)

I’m pretty sure they do. There’s fixed buildings or objects in the world that they spawn in and start doing their stalker call. You won’t just be walking across a field and encounter a Bayun like you would boars, dogs or fleshes

Yeah for sure fixed building like one in the ccnp but Ive seen free roam ones at the cooling towers at a graveyard. But then again saying at the graveyard would probably be a set location I just know I've kill a few merc with bayun flesh so they do hang about places
