7 of the 8 regions are Reaper ready!

[SniperGirl]

This is a milestone for me! Shortly after the reaper was introduced I have slowly been grinding away at getting each region to 21 or better and 7 or less rivals. Most all the rivals are level 4 with only a few that are hunters. I know a few of my online gaming friends have been working on this too but how many through out the forum community have been working on this? Finding it hard to grind for machines?

We did the same thing. We have been doing it for 3 weeks or so.

I still do a different way, region at level 23/24/25 but without rivals. but only in the forest region

So where are you at on building your regions? On the Gen Zero forum, a player posted her maps of each region and there are 8 rivals on each but most are level 24 or 25 so take out a rival and can spawn a reaper.

Wow! Very nice! That had to be hard! Did you wipe out the rivals as they spawned and then build back up? Did you do it all non stop so the rivals had no chance of spawning in the 2 hours between spawns?

I think we have all our regions up to level 22-24 and 8 rivals except for the island and the region in the south west. Almost as soon as we kill a Rival, we get a Reaper. I am playing coop of his save so I can't post out map. maybe later I will.

No worries, I know what a map looks like with a lot of rivals everywhere! It is always exciting to join a game and see it!

Before the reaper, as few of us would grind our maps to have all 8 rivals and then get them all to level 4. Save and back up the game files there and when wanted to take out the rivals one of us would load our back up save game and go hunting. The host doesn't get to keep anything, but also doesn't lose anything either. We would take turns being host. Was one of the way I was able to get all the clothing schematics above level 2.

Just think of wiping out a map with 64 level 4 rivals on it!

Now that I have my regions to 21 I will work on getting them higher. Right now a few of the regions I fast travel to the reaper spawns without even shooting anything.

Yes, when a rival appeared, I would destroy it, and when I reached level 25 in the region and the reaper didn't appear, I restarted the server.
I've already managed to make reaper 6 times in a day. with the help of other players there I managed to kill

Did you have 8 rivals? We level up the areas to 24 and allow 8 rivals to live. Kill one at that point and a Reaper spawns.

So just let 8 good rival spawn as you continue to level up? Good to know.

My understanding of the Reaper spawning conditions are:
1) Level up a region to 24.
2) Spawn 8 Rivals level 4.
Kill one Rival and enjoy.

The hard part is leveling up an area while not killing a rival until there are 8.

A reaper will spawn as low as level 21 and as long as there are less than 8 rivals, the rival levels do not have to be level 4. See the map at the start of thread with zero rivals. But rivals may make it happen easier.

North Coast is being near impossible to find machines. The rivals on it climb to level 4 quickly but more than half are hunters. I even had a rival spawn last night as I was attacking it , which was shock ammo and it was destroyed before I knew it. Cost me 2 levels. North Coast is the only region I have not had a reaper but getting it past level 21 has been tiring.

I got bored last night and fast traveled to the Farmland and ran into machine after machine. At Ringfort was 3 proto class harvesters with a dozen hunters. Then took out the old proto tank that likes to sleep behind the hill with 3 or 4 runners as watch dogs. After a few hours of play I still didn't get a reaper to spawn but 1 rival that was destroyed before it reached level 2. Was still fun not having to waste 30 minutes hunting for a target.

Slowly grinding Salthomen to try to get a Reaper to spawn there. Don't even know if it's possible, but... you know... just because. Not like I have anything better to do before the next expansion...

LOL..Right! The little region has been having bigger machines like tanks and harvesters on it so why not a reaper? I have been going into the Farmland and spawning a reaper every night just for the practice. Not to many places in the Farmland that I have not fought one and the region level seems to stay high.

As I said before. I don't use rivals to make reaper appear
Here's a video of how I do it

and if by chance the reaper doesn't appear but a rival, he is shot down on the spot.
