"Moon" building in Town.

[Mori]

Allow me to just preface this with an apology should it be known already. I silently peruse but have yet to discover it in any post. It's surely meaningless.

To the matter at hand then, at this very moment I'm playing Tranzit. Had a full lobby, all but myself have since quit after being downed. 'Tis round 7. Power is on, I've activated ToB for Richtofen and have yet to begin Maxis', as a little background. As I'm chasing this last remaining Zed around Town, I spot that apartment building with the "Mo on" type sign hanging along side. In my infinite wisdom, I decide to throw all my grenades in the windows, to no effect. Well, throwing a monkey--bomb--to the moon was my next brilliant idea, and it was met with Richtofen's evil laugh, similar to the box changing position.

Here's where it gets weird. There was no "Bye bye" and the beam for the box has disappeared. It's gone. The box is just gone. I've led him around another 5 minutes waiting for it to reappear to no effect. I know EMPs eat powerups and close the box, but I've yet to see a monkey do anything malicious so far in Tranzit.

Can this be replicated by anyone? Has it been seen before? I have -extreme- doubt it has anything to do with the EE but I felt my .2 of a cent would be a welcome introduction.

Have you tried throwing another monkey bomb at the building? And if so has the laugh appeared?

[Mori]

Soon as that happened I sought out the box. I'm gonna head back to town now and throw more! See what happens. Box was where it originally was, just completely flat. No lighting, no fancy effect. Just a box.

[Mori]

I can confirm that the laugh can be replicated, but the beam hasn't disappeared from the box's new location. What this means is a complete mystery to me. I'm alone, don't have the manpower to really delve into it. Has anyone theatre free-cammed into that building or anything? I've got a decent run going, I'd hate to end it early just to see what's going on.

I'm going to assume this is the same glitch that occurs in the first BO on Ascension where if a player throws a Gersch Device outside of the map, the weapon disappears and Samantha laughs without saying "bye-bye".

Save the video and upload it to Youtube. I haven't tried this yet to be honest.

[Mori]

I'll give it a chuck any old place and see then. I used the rest of 'em on that building and haven't really been too wasteful with the monkeys before now. The laugh was immediately startling, I think the lights on the box poofing held a little more meaning though. Perhaps t'was but punishment.

*I'm still in the game. 15 just started. Once I croak, I'll upload it.

Btw welcome to the forums!

The box light glitching has occurred many times on both BO and BO2 so perhaps it not showing up wasn't a direct result to you throwing the monkey in that specific building. Not trying to be a downer, but you might have stumbled on two completely different glitches at the same time making it seem like they correlated with one another.

[Mori]

Would appear you were right, Expert. Same old thing that happens throwing it anywhere out of bounds. Still curious about that box, could be a glitch all the same. False alarm! Thanks for the insight.

I dont know about the lighting on the box. But i always thought if you threw a monkey, or gersch in BO, to a location where it wouldn't attract zombies (like outside of the map) Richtofen or Samantha would laugh at you. Kind of like a "Ha Ha you effed up" type of thing.

Slightly off-topic, but speaking of weird lighting glitches... has anyone had powerup drops completely unlit? It's happened to me a few times... a drop just hanging in the air, but not green lighting around it whatsoever. Had a Max Ammo tonight I almost missed because the icon was floating there with no light.

They're still active, you can still pick them up and get the powerup, but there's just no lighting effect. Kinda wonder if it's a glitch, or something put in there to make things more difficult...

It's happened to me plenty of times on Survival. Got an insta-kill, but thought it was dead because it wasn't glowing. Only found out it was glitch when accidently bumping into it while running trains.

Back on topic @YungRob look at my post above. This glitch happens whenever you throw anything that can attract zombies on the outside of the map. They did this to prevent you from keeping the zombies on the outside of the barriers by continuously throwing monkey bombs or Gerches.
