You can obtain heavy weapons inside Mycopunk's hub area by using the training area's enemy spawner: spawn opponents repeatedly until one appears carrying a heavy weapon, then destroy that enemy to claim the weapon. The known confirmed result is the railgun; whether other heavy weapons can be acquired the same way has not been confirmed. The method is simple but not instant, because the spawner may need several attempts before a heavy-weapon enemy shows up.
Prerequisites
- Access to the hub's training area.
- Enough damage output to destroy a heavy-weapon-carrying enemy.
- Patience: the spawn process can take a while.
Step-by-step method
- Go to the training area in the hub.
- Start spawning enemies using the training area's spawn function. Continue spawning even if nothing useful appears immediately.
- Wait through the spawning process. Do not quit out of the session, because the useful spawn may take some time to appear.
- Watch each spawned enemy for a heavy weapon attached to it.
- When an enemy with a heavy weapon appears, destroy that enemy.
- Claim the weapon as the prize once the enemy is defeated.
- After claiming it, you can use the weapon however you like inside the hub.
What weapon can you get?
| Heavy weapon | Confirmed via training-area spawner? |
|---|---|
| Railgun | Yes |
| Other heavy weapons | Unconfirmed |
Important notes
- The only heavy weapon documented through this method is the railgun.
- It is unknown whether the other heavy weapons can also be obtained from training-area enemy spawns.
- If you are testing for other heavy weapons, expect to repeat the spawn-and-destroy cycle many times before concluding anything.
- Because the process depends on random enemy generation, there is no fixed number of spawns that guarantees a heavy weapon.
Troubleshooting
- Nothing heavy is spawning: keep spawning and stay in the training area; the source notes this can take time.
- You left the session early: restart the process from step one.
- You destroyed an enemy and got no weapon: only enemies with a heavy weapon attached award the prize, so make sure the enemy was actually carrying one before destroying it.
- You want a heavy weapon other than the railgun: no confirmed method exists in the source for that; the training-area route is confirmed only for the railgun.
Summary
To get a heavy weapon in the hub, use the training area spawner, keep spawning until an enemy appears with a heavy weapon attached, then destroy that enemy and take the weapon. The railgun is the confirmed reward from this method. Other heavy weapons remain unverified through the same process, so treat any attempt to farm them this way as experimental until confirmed.
