About

The Direwolf (Retrieve) is a mission-specific variant of the standard Direwolf, appearing exclusively in the Genesis DLC as part of Retrieve mission encounters. It shares the Direwolf name tag with its base counterpart but uses its own entity ID, Direwolf_Character_BP_Retrieve_C, which distinguishes it in server logs, kill counters, and spawn commands.

Admins working with Genesis mission scripting or troubleshooting creature spawns should use that entity ID rather than the standard Direwolf's, since the two are treated as separate entities by the game. This distinction matters when configuring mission difficulty, creature counts, or any ini overrides targeting specific entity classes.

As a mammal-type creature, it follows standard mammal behavior rules. Outside of Genesis Retrieve missions, there is no intended context for this variant, so spawning it manually is primarily useful for testing or event setup purposes.

How do I spawn a wild Direwolf (Retrieve) Creature?
