Ran into a Protofector for the first time...
First off...

Very well done. You jerk.

Second, I started on Uai and had light armor and a basic assault rifle/sniper weapon set.
I completed the Abandoned Bunker by means of blunt force drama (and nobody saw the times I simply wasn't paying attention to my surroundings).

Having run the POI in RF1 and RF2, and having just seen the new version for the first time, it was a great upgrade. The new liquid blocks greatly enhanced the visuals of the sewer section, and the cryo/corrosive clouds (and laser fence) add some fun hazards to work around.

For a good chunk, I forgot to build a POI vehicle, which greatly sped up the last third of the run. At least, until I innocently presumed the Protofector was in the 'normal boss' category.

For spoiler reasons, let's just say I had to handle the fight on foot and was able to do it simply enough on the second try, though my weapon options were nearly insufficient due to durability hinderances. I won't spoil the dirty trick I encountered. It was well-played and good thinking, you jerk. :steamfacepalm:

As I understand the value of encouragement, you are doing a fantastic job with Reforged Eden 2 and the ideas you are putting together. This small taste of how well you are integrating your concepts together has me excited to see the whole, and I will really enjoy the storyline experience when you finally get it finished. I may have to do a max difficulty start in the future, after the Beta phase finally ends, just to enjoy the overcoming challenge.

What is this thing in general an where could one find it?

Just track down an Abandoned Bunker POI.
Simple answer without spoiling much is the horror of the Legacy acts as the POI end boss.
Bring extra ammo because this thing is bigger than a turret.
The rest is a surprise, but don't neglect reading the sign by the boss door...

I am looking forward to trying all of the various POIs and seeing their changes as I continue to explore further into RE2, despite my hesitance during Beta due to occasional "needs a new save" updates that necessarily have to happen from time to time.
Honestly, the updates are proving worth a clean start based on the changes implied by the Abandoned Bunker POI changes alone for how much more interesting it feels.

Protofectors can be found in both the Abandoned Mine and Abandoned Bunker.
They can also be found in most Legacy POIs in legacy space, with a much more dangerous boss that manipulates gravity in T3+ Legacy POIs.

Manipulates gravity, you say?
You must hate someone with a passion, but have to take it out on everyone else.
You, sir, are full of evil ideas that will cause me much pain and suffering when I inevitably go looking just because you said that.
Thank you. :steamhappy:

While I am limiting my playthrough investment for now, I am going to be thrilled when you finally get RE2 out of the beta stage.
Might even be enough for me to join the Broken Eden server a certain spoon runs for his community.
