Skippy.. broke! 2.0

[Wakeup Terrorized]

some players, including me, had a problem with Skippy's gun. the fact is that after reaching 50 kills, he does not offer any options other than to leave the "pacifism and puppies" regime. I choose everything correctly, according to the guides: at the beginning, "pacifist", after 50 murders - the answer option is "I don't know". in short, skippy switches from pacifist to pacifist, and it doesn't matter to him what options you chose. Of course I wanted "cold-blooded killer".. (sorry for the possibly crooked translation, I hope you get the gist. once again - I chose everything as in the videos)

hhhhhhmmmmmmmm, i choose cold blood killer the first time then after some kills it turned to the pacifist and after some kills i have the option to return it to regina or keep it. on pacifist mode after the enemy is down i finished them off again with 1 shot until no more dmg number or the crosshair red, maybe thats the reason idk

You are not allow to really "kill" 50.
Skippy would despise you if you "kill" 50. (then lock down ice cold killer mode)
Shoot limbs and do not lethally finish your enemies. (yeah, I know it's painful to do it this way)
I guess developer found that manually headshot in pacifism and puppies mode still relatively easy. So they add this restriction.
This is new implementation for 2.0 I believe.

Well, I didn't kill everyone.. and by the way, does he count murders only with a gun, or does it not matter to him? and also he didn't change his line!

I think it count only when you using it. But I focus on limb farming until it talk to me.
I always ensure the target is still alive.
Sometimes the place they lay down is not flat enough which make them not playing those "still alive" animation.
If you also want to ensure it's a valid 50 knock down. You'll have to pick them up and place them at the other place then see if they start playing animation.

If you see it says something like "why you shoot at their limb but not kill them" and you answer "I don't know". And it still not activate ice cold killer mode for you then it's probably a bug.

Im not sure what is broken? Sounds like its working. Need to kill 50 targets what ever mode you picked first. Then after 50 kills it will swap. Then hold weapon few days and you get follow up to return the gun to its owner. Then later you get Skippy back without AI as follow up quest.

I doubt it matters whether your targets lives or dies in puppy-loving pacifist mode. Quite a few of mine died, and it still triggered the next conversation with Skippy. After selecting the response which requires a certain amount of Cool, he switched to stonecold killer. Then I kinda forgot about him for a few days and he still managed to find his owner. Seems easier than before.

It matters. You can try 50 headshot kill with puppy-loving pacifist mode.
As long as kill count < 50 would be fine.
Need knock down progress faster than kill progress.

If you don't trust me. Maybe try it yourself or search some others experience after 2.0.
Just rush them and shoot them in face.
Then you'll see what I said. It don't like what you did and lock killer mode for you.
Skippy just try to ♥♥♥♥ with player. It have no actual moral standard. It just read your behavior and make player feel frustrated more.

I have 2 play through before 2.0 and unlock killer mode by rush enemy and face shooting. I did the same for 2.0 and notice this change. I got to say, ♥♥♥♥ Skippy.

Weird, in my 1200 hours I never noticed this.

did you cripple your enemies, or did you completely kill them? I totally killed.. maybe this is an update for skippy

[Bogmore]

Can you still bypass all this stuff by sticking a Pax in Skippy?

depend what you choice (head or legs) hit head kill, hit legs cripple
after you kill or cripple 50 times, Skippy change method, after 100 eneimes you got request to give Skipy to owner.

You can't stick anything into Skippy now.

My Skippy also locked into puppy mode although I picked puppy mode when got him. Though my Skippy also didn't have any issues locking on a head when aiming. Maybe Skippy that transitions from 1.6 into 2.0 breaks?
TBH Skippy got a lot worse with 2.0, even hit at a head does little, have to literally stand in front of enemies to get any value, might as well just punch them.

[Gutler]

I got skippy picked pacifist mode got the 50 maims and he asked me why i choose to maim picked the third option and he switched to stone cold killer mode but now he still aims at legs and only aims for the head if i ADS why did they have to break skippy i loved him pre 2.0.

[Mellow]

skippy is useless now :(
pretty sad was my favorite gun
