About

The Alpha Megapithecus (The Center) is the hardest-tier variant of the Megapithecus boss encounter on The Center map. As a boss-type creature, it does not roam the open world, players must summon it through the appropriate terminal to trigger the fight. Admins running The Center should be aware that this variant is distinct from the standard Island version and uses its own entity ID.

When setting up admin-controlled spawns, event tests, or difficulty scaling, reference the entity ID Gorilla_Character_BP_TheCenter_Hard_C to target this specific variant. Using the wrong entity ID will spawn a different tier or map version of the boss, which may not behave as expected in a Center-specific encounter context.

This creature carries no DLC requirement, so any player on a server running The Center map can access the fight without additional content purchases. Keep that in mind when designing progression gates or loot table configurations for your server.
