“The scaling can be used for a lot more than what the artists were using it for,” Cain says. Visually, these beasts are scaled up from their regular counterparts – but the technology that produces that effect goes in both directions. Out in the wilderness of The Outer Worlds, you may encounter “mega-fauna,” which are especially large versions of specific creature types. The concept came from an unexpected place: huge monsters. During our time at Obsidian Entertainment, we talked to the team in detail about one of these weapons – the shrink ray – and about how the science weapons in general are implemented in The Outer Worlds.Īccording to co-director Tim Cain, science weapons are designed to have “inexplicable effects that we thought would be funny, and we didn’t care in any way if they were realistic.” The shrink ray is a perfect example of this philosophy: It collapses the space between atoms, causing creatures hit by its continuous beam to grow smaller (and stay that way as long as the beam remains focused on them). These unique items are difficult to find, but thorough explorers who amass a collection of them are treated to a variety of outlandish and entertaining effects.

Overusing our search engine with a very large number of searches in a very short amount of time.

Using a badly configured (or badly written) browser add-on for blocking content.

Running a 'scraper' or 'downloader' program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection.

Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine.

There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic.

Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.

Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests.

If you are using the Brave browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse, then send that data back to a third party, essentially spying on your browsing habits.

We strongly recommend you stop using this browser until this problem is corrected.

The latest version of the Opera browser sends multiple invalid requests to our servers for every page you visit.

The most common causes of this issue are: Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests.
