Unexpect NPCs in zones lately

[wjrasmussen]

Recently in atlas park as I was opening a present, a hellion that was named Ashe came up to me and attacked.  In Brickstown sure, but Atlas Park? No.

 

Then there were Trolls in Steel Canyon near the low level tram, where I never in all these years seen a group of trolls.  I don't think they were ambush mobs either as they were standing in a spot where other mobs normally spawn.

 

There was another but I can't recall it right now.

Atlas is jam packed with Hellions. Or do you mean because it was named?

 

I have fun spawning Babbage on top of Positron when I solo Synapse. All it takes is teleporting out of mission instead of exiting it and it appears where I appear, which is on Positron when I go get the immobilizer. It's actually soloable then because Positron and Valkyrie hit hard.

It took me about a year of HC before I realized that folks teleporting directly to Positron from the penultimate mission is what was causing almost all of the "missing Babbage" spawns from the Synapse TF. I know most teams were blaming AE (or tram police drones), but I think this was the cause of most missing spawns.

Yes.  Why mention the name if it wasn't a point.  Unless you are saying there are lots of hellions and some are named Ashe in Atlas Park.

 

Also, in the thread title, unexpected would mean they are not normally there.  Atlas Park is jam packed with hellions, so since they are normally there, that simple fact would mean this wasn't about the usual hellions jam packing atlas park.

I've run into Ashe too. I'm not sure what his deal is.

How do you teleport to Positron?

Base Transporter from inside the mission then use the teleporters in base to teleport to Steel Canyon. It takes you out right next to Positron now.

As Peregrine said. I found out by accident, and it also works in a full team if we're the first exiting the mission so I'm always careful to wait until I see people left the mission before saving one loading screen by going straight to the portal base.
