Anyone got a fix for the aberration and scorched earth engrams on extinction?

Maybe a mod or game.ini file change without having to wipe my current player info or settings.

Cheers^^

Upload your character, go to those maps. DL character, and learn the engrams. Then, go back to Extinction.

I'm on an unofficial server with no cluster, so that will not be possible sadly.

For more info: I've gotten a mod for scorched earth engrams without getting rid of the extinction ones, only need the aberration ones now.

If only Wildcard was bright enough to consider this. SE and Aberration Engrams should work like a steam achievement. You unlock it, its permanently unlocked on that steam account/installation. Easy fix that still holds to the model of them wanting people to buy and play the other DLCs to get the engrams.

Edit: I mean frig, just owning the other DLCs should be enough to allow you to unlock the engrams, you paid your dues, you own the content.... this is actually frigging silly.

I have the other DLC but I can't transfer my character because it's just an unofficial, that's the worst part.

Yeah exactly, I think it is an absolutely terrible design choice. I get what they were trying to do, but they could have achieved the exact same results in a much more user friendly way.

Although, if you contact the owner of the server, since it is unofficial. You guys would be able to utilize a mod on the server that allows those engrams to be unlocked. I wouldnt be surprised if you start seeing mods pop up this week in the workshop that are very small, and do 1 thing specifically, unlock DLC engrams.

Yeah the problem is that we only have found one that unlocks SE engrams while keeping extinction, not aberration.

Yeah, unfortunately youll have to wait until someone makes a mod targeted for this specific mess. I dont expect it to take long though until the playerbase comes up with their own solution. Just bugs the hell out of me, I have stood by this game since week 1 of early access, spent thousands of hours on this game, purchased every single content release.... I have defended Wildcard through a lot of its updates. I remember defending WC over the anger and backlash during the much needed flyer nerf.... but this time, I cannot defend Wildcard, they have outright made terrible design choices here.

Same.

you can change the ini file to activate the engrams. My group was working this issue last night. we are working it so all existing tek engrams can be activated upon reaching lvl 100 because we are not clustering.

Every map is meant to be a new experiences, a new adventure and yet wildcard set is up so that you are expected to go to every new map having already unlocked the previous tek. Pretty ridiculous. Probably lazyness on their part.

[Doomzy]

Yeah, I run my own dedicated server off of my PC for my friends and my TTV stream. I personally am very familiar with ini editing, Ive done extensive edits to make my server run the way I want it to. Unfortunately there are a lot of server moderators out there that do not have this same experience, or are just plain unwilling to make modifications to configurations. So ini edits will indeed work for some, but others are still left out in the cold. Ultimately it will be the playerbase that is forced to fix this issue, I dont see WC changing the engram system all of a sudden.... they tend to be pretty stubborn on decisions.

if you are fine with it, you could just auto unlock all engramms when a player hits a certain level

this also counts for engramms from other maps and tek engramms

I'd still prefer the way where you can't unlock all levels, and have to defeat bosses for engrams. But thanks for the tip ^^
