BenjaminLewis Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I was curious to find out if Derek can be teleported out of a locked detention centre (in order to test this, you must first give his beacon to another agent, and then get him killed). The result: no, you cannot activate the teleportation beacon until the cells are unlocked. Evidently they managed to make the cells teleportation-proof (which certainly seems reasonable!). I was also curious if rescued-Derek ALWAYS has his beacon, or if he only manages to keep it if it was previously in his inventory. It turns out the latter is the case, so if you lose that beacon, it's really lost for good. Presumably this means he stashes it ... somewhere ... on his person so it doesn't get confiscated when he's captured like all other items. Maybe something to keep in mind before lending it to other agents, might want to put some gloves on first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaustBD Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Frankly the fact that his augment is tied entirely to an item you're encouraged to drop makes me totally paranoid about using him out of fear I'll forget the beacon and he'll become useless forever.

BenjaminLewis Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 At least they do warn you if you try to leave the level without it (you get a pop-up that transport beacon asset is still in the field, and it prompts you to confirm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something along the lines of "Agent left behind: Teleport Beacon. Proceed anyway?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthe Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 For me it says something like advanced gear left behind Strange, my game definitely refers to it as an agent, but then references is as the teleport beacon by name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanKirby Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It only says, there are only assets in the game: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=567915005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible I was actually misreading "asset" as "agent" because I already knew what the warning was for and click through it quickly each time I get it.

RaustBD Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Does that only happen for really valuable assets, or as it added in the last two or so updates? Because that message didn't show up with the portable cover hologram I left behind in one map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that message didn't show up with the portable cover hologram I left behind in one map. I seem to recall getting the warning pre-DLC whenever I accidentally left a laptop deployed on a map, but it's been a while and I'm not sure if that was fixed in a patch pre-DLC or a change made with the expansion. That doesn't necessarily mean there was a warning for all types of items though. I think the warning is intended only for "deployables" like the laptop, teleport beacon, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
