About

The VR Karkinos is a Fantasy-type creature found in the Genesis DLC, representing the simulation variant of the standard Karkinos (cave crab). It shares the CaveCrab name tag with its base counterpart but is a distinct entity used within Genesis's VR mission environments.

Admins targeting this creature specifically, for spawn commands, kill commands, or mission troubleshooting, should use the entity ID Crab_Character_BP_TameSTA_C rather than the standard Karkinos entity ID, as the two are separate entries. Using the wrong ID in a SpawnDino or DestroyAll command will not affect this variant.

Because this creature is tied to the Genesis DLC, it will only appear and function correctly on Genesis maps. Attempting to spawn it on non-Genesis maps may produce unexpected results or no result at all.

Run admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Missions/ModularMission/Gauntlet2/STA/Endless/Tames/Crab_Character_BP_TameSTA.Crab_Character_BP_TameSTA'" 0 0 0 0. SpawnDino takes the full blueprint path followed by spawn distance, Y offset, Z offset and level, so you can place the VR Karkinos Creature precisely instead of dropping it on top of your character.
