The most important update required!

(jemstar) #1

The most urgent update required for Dirty Bomb is the addition of at least a cross on the outside of the med bay in Underground!!!

Many updates ago the then control room was renamed to the med bay with out any reasoning at all.

However there is nothing in the map that suggests that there is anything medical about this strange empty room.

Also why is the med bay so important to destroy?

This has perplexed me for ages and causes much stress and anxiety to my everyday life!

Please dirty bomb fix this anomaly.

Thanks for listening!

The lore construction will probably happen after full release.
Heck, I’m not sure if merc bios are relevant to canon anymore…

Well, the concept art of underground shows it as an actual medbay, but I always assumed most of those props were cut for optimization purposes.

Even in the game itself though, it’s clear that Underground was being used for the storage and transport of dead bodies. Of course they were probably transporting other things, but bodies are what we see most. Because of this, a medbay would make sense.
However, what doesn’t make sense is that destroying the fan controls, which also happen to be located in the medbay, somehow clears the gas from the lower levels of underground. You think the CDA would clear it anyways so they could move cargo, but here’s my theory:

The CDA are informed of Jackal’s plans to attack the london underground to destroy their supply route (which had previously been used to treat people of radiation sickness and store bodies for transport of those less fortunate, hence the medbay). They use the medbay’s fan controls to flood the underground with toxic gas, so Jackal can’t reach their target.
However, jackal figures out that destroying the controls activates a safety feature that turns the fans back on, allowing them to safely reach their target.

I agree that it’s weird we have to destroy a med bay (which nothing in game indicate this is one) to evacuate gas in elevator. But in general, maps have funny details now since the mofo update i think : i recently figured the building near the middle mg in Chapel is an indian restaurant, you can read menus inside, on the right wall.

Speaking of background, mercs bios should be more detailed in game. They could even extand the comic book to each merc presentation in the barracks.

Well rather than put a cross on the wall they went back to the “Fan Room”.

Yep I knows is an old thread but as this was a very important update required I felt it was important to revisit.
