Shooting guide on Interloper ?

[coze]

I found a Frontier shooting guide in my current Interloper run. Does this have any use on interloper, since AFAIK there are no firearms spawns ?

Something to burn?

Maybe some day I'll read the gun books just to see how far I can level my skills just by reading

Considering that with Custom settings, you can use the Interloper template, and enable rifle spawns, the firearms book being there makes perfect sense. I do not believe any of the books are tied to a specific item spawn, mode, or mechanic, only to the actual skills. So an Interloper who is playing with Custom settings enabling the rifle can get the book to read, and increase their skill level. I am not sure if you can gain Skill Lvl 5 with the rifle disabled, just by reading, or just by shooting and making hits, without the books, in any Experience Mode. Pilgrim, maybe?

Useful for start fires. Ultimately I burn all this "skill" books, ready only the guide about sewing.

Hmm, thinking about it, Flare gun does appear in Interloper right ? Does it have an effect of flare gun skill ? (Does it even have a skill ?)

Also, does the revolver appear in loper ?

No, revolver doesn't appear in Interloper. And the flare gun, as far as I'm aware, is unaffected by either gun skill.

The revolver was added with the last big update- Steadfast Ranger. It has its own separate ammo, and its own separate Skill book and Skill levels.As well as its own pros and cons, and its own sometimes sneaky hiding places.

Huh, cool! Will I have to make a new save to find it? I only have one save where I’ve made it to the summit, and I’d like to keep it if possible

Honestly can't tell you. I believe it may spawn "in the open" like on tables or counters, but containers you already searched will not have new spawns.
Can't hurt to start a new save, you have multiple save slots, and can have multiple saves going at the same time. Play a new one from the start to get all the new goodies, and if you want to go back and play your older save, just use the "Load" button to load up that save, from the list you will be presented. I usually have 3-4 saves going at once, often going back to older ones when the current Survival Mode save I am on feels a bit boring, or I just want a change. Going back to old save i don;t remember well often presents me with a surprise, trying to figure out where I was at and what I was planning. Up to you if you like or dislike that feeling. And keep in mind you will not find the revolver in Interloper.

Oh, wow. That is interesting. I wonder if it is intended, a bug, or an oversight.

What else has been added in my absence?

No interloper for me! I’ve tried a couple times to even survive a day, never ended well
