Freedom Five Bunker Unlock Discussion

My guess is Play the prereqs and then beat Progeny with FV Bunker and the rest of the FV heroes.

Good luck unlocking that.

Ok if it’s not just dealing 4 different types of damage alone, what if it also involves discarding his modes. The Hint from Christopher implied it was a personal sacrifice from Bunker. What bigger sacrifice than to destroy(discard) his armor (modes)? Possibly even every copy of them
He has 3 of each right? Maybe it’s a combination of discarding all his modes AND dealing the 4 types of damage.

Without further hints I’m at a loss.

Well, it's not "Discard each mode in the same round, switching above and below 10 health to make Progeny flip."

So, based upon the clues we have, and knowing that we need the environment's help for both parts, my thoughts:

 

1. Have Bunker sacrifice X cards to Progeny /and/ the environment effects.

 

2, Bunker can do 4 possible damage types. What if he not only has to do all 4, but do them when Progeny is in the correct form?

i.e. must do fire when Progeny is in ice form, and find the right times to do melee, projectile, and energy vs specific forms, or at least fire vs. ice, and physical vs. something?

yup. We have an unlock on Steam and it's exactly what I was afraid of. Poor Bunker and his overly convoluted conditions. Good luck nailing this one down, folks.

At Least F6 was easy, even if we didn't actually know what was triggering the unlock.

Yeah, at some point, flailing around fruitlessly in the dark just isn't fun anymore.

I mean, has anyone even accidentally unlocked it yet?

At this rate, I'm more or less in the, "I'll just wait till I can just push a button" camp.

We have one confirmed unlock.  Looking at the log I’m wondering if it may just be a combo of discards and doing a large amount of melee damage.   Will have to experiment today 

 

WW2 Bunker wasn’t hard either.  Just play all three modes in one game.  

I can’t look at the log at the moment. How many Mode cards did he discard? I still think that is the sacrifice piece of the puzzle.

Could someone maybe copy the log and unlock screen here?

Data: Did at least 10 of all 4 possible damage types and had Bunker discard for every possible opportunity. No unlock.

Had bunker discard at every opportunity and load up an omni-cannon to full except for the cannon, a plating, and two healing units. Fired it for the kill after letting progeny play each different card in his deck. Close quarters was active on the firing turn, so it was melee damage. He only dealt melee damage this game.

No unlock

On a side note, Freedom Five Wraith is great for letting bunker discard at every opportunity while still loading the cannon.

Had Bunker deal 10 of every type of damage and discard each unique mode card once to Impending casualty… no unlock.

Also, Bunker dealt no melee to Progeny with Blight in play, no energy with lighting, no fire with flame. and no projectile with Frost.

Used all base forms of heroes.

OK!

I just got it, and I’m pretty sure I’ve got the missing component. 

The key for Bunker is damage rotation. It doesn’t matter what form Progeny is in, what Bunker has to do is constantly be changing damage types. 

I saved all the civilians, discarding mode cards preferentially (not sure if that is a component).  I sacrificed equipment to the Beginning of the End, though I couldn’t manage to get Bunker to pay for a full 5 equipment sacrifice in one go. 

For the damage rotation, I shifted types every time, never attacking with the same type twice. I didn’t worry about form (I used projectile against ice, fire against fire, energy against storm, etc). If I couldn’t switch types, I drew cards or healed until I could do so. 

There were several turns where I used the same type within that turn (Fire, projectile, energy, projectile).  

Hope this helps. 

What characters was the person who got the unlock playing with? Is there a screenshot? My gut is telling me it has to be with the other members of the Freedom Five using their non-variant character cards.

I wish I could reliably beat Progeny to test this stuff out. Unfortunately, much like Omnitron for some reason, he consistently hands me my behind. It’s those Damn can’t play cards followed by destroy all your stuff followed by 2 scions of frost followed by can’t play cards followed by destroy all your stuff I just can’t get past.

How many copies of his mode cards did you discard?

What do you mean "ner same damage type twice"?

Finally, some progress! At least we havr something to test now.
