So that's what the statue is!

Captain Drastic · 04-12-25, 06:59 PM

There is a statue model included in the Land folder of GWX. The statue has been placed on a small island in the South Atlantic. I always wondered what it was, so I looked. It's Darth Vader! So, I removed it. Not amused.

easter egg?

do you have screenshot?

Captain Drastic · 04-13-25, 10:35 AM

First of all, I need to correct the location- it's Easter Island! Should have guessed that's where they would put it. Next, I teleported my boat there and looked for the statue in the place indicated on the map, to no avail. Then I placed a new one in Kiel just for a photo shoot and had success.

You'd probably NOT be amused at all the Easter Eggs that are in GWX 3 then.
To be honest? I don't give a flying F if they hurt your little feelings or not.
I can tell you I am probably the only one that knows all of the Easter Eggs in GWX 3.

I like good easter eggs like special encounters in Fallout and Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics
- you could even bring from there Alien Blaster or get a dog (Dogmeat)

best easter eggs ever

Captain Drastic · 04-14-25, 05:29 PM

Well, I don't give a "flying F" for any of this forum stuff anymore, so may the farce be with you.

Also, you need not reply to this if you think I will read it, because I won't be reading any more stuff on this forum.

You know, I never did like the "Captain Drastic" username anyway. So, no more Captain Drastic! Hooray!

Bit of an overreaction there mate, all the best. Thanks for sharing this wee find first

Yes, let me hunt down an obscure and remote easter egg in a 22 year old mod for a 25 year old game, so I can get get offended by it and complain about it on a forum to audience of about 12 people, then storm off when they dont really care. What a great use of my time.

So, how many are there, Master?

propbeanie · 04-22-25, 04:45 PM

I dunno for certain, but I know of 3, but others allude a half-dozen of them...

Jeff-Groves · 04-22-25, 06:03 PM

The K-Ship has 2. The Dog in the gondola is a Tribute to my White Huskey.
She broke her back and passed away in my arms. A close look will show the spotter in the nose points to enemys. No one has ever spotted that "not Amusing" Easter Egg.
There's a skull hidden in the depths somewhere.
That's a tribute to my Mother who passed away as We worked on GWX 3.
She passed in September of 2008. GWX 3 was released a few months later.
So Ya. I get ticked off when some screw ball whines like a Beatch years later.
I have the whole list of "Not Amused" stuff I could tell you. Not interested in giving you more to whine about!
Some were never intended to be found. So in Respect to others that put some
"Not Amusing" content in? I'll never tell.

The Statue that started this whole "Not Amusing" thread? It was a Tribute to Kpt. Lehmenn.
Only Grey Wolves past and present can understand.
So be gone already as you stated you were tapping out several threads ago. Lier.

@JG, I remember, I mentioned it on Steam where it was brought up with this screen cap.
