About

The X-Megalodon (Retrieve) is a specialized variant of the X-Megalodon that appears during retrieve-type missions in the Genesis DLC. It belongs to the Fish creature type and is distinct from standard X-Megalodon spawns, using its own entity ID Ocean_Megalodon_Character_BP_RetrieveNonTarget_C.

Admins targeting this specific variant, for example, to force-spawn it during mission testing or to clear it from an ocean zone, should use the entity ID rather than a generic Megalodon tag, since the X-Megalodon name tag is shared across multiple variants. This creature is only relevant on Genesis maps where retrieve missions are active.
