Evac Locations: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:37, 14 June 2022

Evac Locations are designated areas on Fortuna III used to return to the Prospect Station and secure the loot in their inventory.

Mechanics

Evacuating is the only way to leave a match with gear that is in your inventory, excluding the items in your safe pockets.

Evacuating happens from various points across the map; designated in-game by a circle of yellow lights, an audible beeping sound when in proximity, as well as a red icon on the prospector's in-game map. At the start of each match, the prospector's squad (containing one to three people) will be assigned two evacuation locations separated by a sizable distance.

Typically these locations are on the opposite side of the map from where the prospectors deployed. Prospectors can evacuate using sn evac called by other prospectors, but can only call down evac ships at their assigned evac locations.

If a prospector were to miss an evac that they summoned, said prospector can call a new evac ship down again at no additional time penalty.

The Evacuation Sequence

When any of the prospectors in a squad are within range of the evacuation location, prospectors will be granted the ability to call for evac. When the call evac action button is pressed, the follow sequence happens:

An confirmation noise is played, audible to prospectors in the immediate vicinity.
A 55 second sequence is initiated, in which the evac ship will spawn somewhere on the map and begin traveling to the prospectors' evac location.
The evac ship will lower itself into position, finally landing and opening the ship doors.
A 15 second waiting period begins.
A 5 second siren sound will play. After this finishes, the evac ship closes its door and takes off. Anyone within the ship at that time is taken back to station safely.

Variables

Evac ships will spawn with a varying interior, sometimes containing cargo crates, seating, and others.

The evac ship, containing four doors for entry, will spawn with some or all of these doors closed; depending on evac location.

Player Behavior

Evac ships are incredibly loud, and draw lots of attention to their position. As such, often times prospectors will be targeted as an expense of initiating evacuation.

Evac ships typically spawn with more than one door open, exposing prospectors to potential fire. In order to combat this, prospectors will often avoid boarding an evac ship until the ship is about to take off; opting to remain in cover nearby.
