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.
