Title: The Hunt For The Battlesnail
Post by: mjn.mixael on October 25, 2016, 09:37:03 am

So in the campaign, one of these guys is hidden in each mission.

Find all of them in a single playthrough and you'll get a slightly extended ending scene!   :)

NOTE: If you find one of these, scan it! If you do that successfully but then fail the mission, you will need to find that snail again unless you reached a checkpoint after you found it.

Use this thread to assist others with the hunt. Eventually I'll post a guide, but I want to give players a chance to search on their own first!

Anyone found any yet? Feel free to post snail locations here using spoiler tags to help others find them. :)

I found the snail in To Steal and March on twice.

But I have no clue where I found it.

If you press Alt-5 in a mission, you can toggle a hint to the snail's location on and off.

I believe I saw a spoon reference in a random crate on one of the first missions. Nothing about a snail IIRC.

I'll keep my eyes peeled. Hard to do, seeying how I struggle with them all.
I guess being away from FS for quite a while got me seriously rusty on the dogfighting department.

Yay, found in Playing Pirate.

Are snails present all time in missions or just show up when some event occurs?

Some require you to save a particular ship, others are just present throughout.

Found two!

Spoiler:

Mission 1 - I targeted the guy when I was hitting U key all the time about halfway through the mission. I had to deviate from my patrol path about half of a kilometer to catch him though.
Mission 2 - Take a peek "under" the platform.
Mission 3 - Didn't find him, but saw it in the mission logs - arriving about 6 minutes into the mission.
