You should never have an enemy\boss that cant be killed in any game. Its a sign of weak game design.

Far more than 140 players have moved on because of the developer decision making, QA, and execution tree. See 3 million copies of the game sold and less than 20,000 active players.

Lovely math manipulations here. Long story short: it's not working in the way you tried to say.

Really?

Comparing amount of sales with current active playerbase value is really weird move. If you can't understand how it works, I can't help you either.

Hey there OP, there is no way to turn off Mr. Brenner, we will not add the option either because he needs to guard abandoned bunkers and give challenge to players that are wandering inside it.

good ! dont let players play the game as they whanna play it:)

i like to se them suffer, and find new games to play. scum is only for those who like the standard setting of things.

you shoud remove server settings to and keep it strickly vanilla. .

how rude when i think about it.. whanna remove things from the game.. only a dev can remove planes and cars and strip the game to a boring buddle of goo. not simple unqualified gamers , or worse. kids that whant a more easy xperience.

i like boring games. scum was fun before and i hated it- but now i realy like the new boring stripped down game.

Shouldn't that be the server owner choice! why are you policing servers for players and server owners?!

[PepsiMontana]

problem is if hes killable people put 2-3 mines and glhf mr brenner.
its not fun with unkilleble bosses or enemys but in this case its needed.

or remove brenner and make people need disarm 200 mines and 22 goldlocks on there way down

[serilium]

i don`t understand why the devs won`t give players and admins the options to turn off mr brenner or make him killable, they want everyone to enjoy the game don`t they, how can some of us enjoy the game, when in single player i can`t alter important options, i don`t go into c0 because of the radiation that for me in single player adds nothing to the game, yet i can`t remove it and open up the full map for me to explore, and now the devs have made it so i refuse to enter the abandoned bunkers in single player, i could understand them standing firm in multiplayer, but i`m asking for options in single player, why is stopping me from enjoying this game so important for them, how does me not going into the abandoned bunkers in single player benefit them, why is this so important to them, they act like it will kill the game, yet the opposite is true it would allow some players to enjoy it more than they do now, or is players enjoying scum not important to the devs any more.

You probably need to wait until modding is possible.
As private server admins we already have a lot of tools and customizations, while some things - like Brenner - are just meant to be. Some game mechanics and things you need to just deal with.
Take it or leave it.

As Brenner is considered a "Boss" enemy, it will not be possible to disable him.

Unkillable boss isn’t challenging, it’s rеtarded. Love the game overall though. But me and the boys want a fair challenge. And unkillable enemy isn’t it.

If that is your reasoning then you have failed. This is a bit of an old post, but I feel i should point this out anyways since I have seen this time and time again. An enemy that is unkillable is ultimately designed to be avoided, and the risk of failing to do so is death, which is what makes it challenging. But players will find a sure fire way to avoid it eventually, making it a non-factor and removing any challenge it posed. This leads to the developers patching it so it becomes challenging again, so the players find a new way. And shocker, you will patch it again, and again, and again. This cycle will continue until either the players quit bothering because it's a pointless endeavor (no one likes to bang their head against a wall for long), or you manage to patch out all the ways to avoid him and end up making it an impossible task, ultimately ruining the content out right anyways. This is why unkillable bosses aren't put in games anymore. You are merely wasting your time (and ours) by drawing out the inevitable. Either quit patching the ways to avoid him and accept that an unkillable enemy is a terrible decision and just focus on new challenging content for players to tackle, or waste all of that time and inevitably be forced to do it anyways when people quit doing abandoned bunkers (which is already starting to happen). Not much point in a challenge that no one bothers to challenge right? Better start brainstorming now, you will thank me later for it.
