About

The Argentavis (Retrieve) is a mission-specific variant of the standard Argentavis that appears in Genesis retrieve-type missions. It shares the Argentavis name tag with its base counterpart but uses a distinct entity ID, Argent_Character_BP_Retrieve_C, which separates it from wild or tamed Argentavis spawns.

Admins working with Genesis mission content may encounter this variant when managing creature spawns, mission testing, or diagnosing unexpected bird spawns during retrieve scenarios. Using the correct entity ID ensures targeted spawning or destruction commands affect only this variant rather than all Argentavis on the map.

Because this creature is tied to Genesis mission logic, it behaves differently from a standard tameable Argentavis. Spawning it outside its intended mission context may produce unpredictable results, so use it in testing environments rather than on live servers without prior verification.
