Scavenger objective

CraftyCorn

Locate Limon, then play it using the TV cart.

Use the updated search notes below. Older level-15 and individual-credit reports predate Patch 2.

Evidence reviewed 28 October 2026 (older footage); Patch 2 checked 30 October. The video predates Patch 2; use the dated update for changed requirements.

The official notes give a shift-related change, not a fixed room, minimum spawn shift or numerical drop rate. The TV-cart requirement comes from the older roster screen.

Read the Patch 2 search note below before planning around older player reports. Keep using the current-run map; no fixed route is established.

YOUR UNLOCK QUESTIONS

Where can I find Limon?

Patch 2 increases Limón appearances on Shift 7, with further increases on later shifts. It does not give a guaranteed location or percentage. Treat this as a search priority, not a promise that every run contains Limón.

Official Patch 2 release notes · 28 Oct 2026; checked 30 Oct ↗
Do I need to reach level 15?

Level 15 came from one earlier player report. It was never proof of a minimum. The official shift guidance is above; it also does not establish that earlier appearances are impossible.

Official Patch 2 release notes · 28 Oct 2026; checked 30 Oct ↗
Is a VHS tape enough?

An ordinary VHS tape is not established here as a substitute for Limón. The older roster explicitly names Limón and the TV cart. Use that named objective; a lore tape and a character unlock should not be assumed interchangeable.

Will everyone in the group unlock CraftyCorn?

Yes: Patch 2 awards CraftyCorn to everyone in the lobby when its unlock condition is fulfilled. Earlier reports of individual-only credit are outdated. Each player should still check their roster; reconnect and late-join edge cases are not documented here.

Team contribution goal

KickinChicken

Reach the cumulative 20,000 quota target for KickinChicken.

Patch 2 lowers the former 25,000 target. Log each new deposit once; carried or loaded loot is not an extra deposit.

The older roster screen required one session. Patch 2 changes the number but does not explain cross-session, death or reconnect credit. This worksheet keeps one session at a time and cannot verify an unlock.

We have not established whether a disconnect, death or late join preserves eligibility. The phase tracker is a note, not proof of an achievement.

A fixed price, restock rule and guaranteed stock are not verified here. Do not assume a price quoted by an unsourced wiki applies.

Check the Doohickey Den for the named character offer. Open the PlayCoins field note below to distinguish spending money from quota loot.

YOUR UNLOCK QUESTIONS

Does the buyer alone unlock PickyPiggy?

No: Patch 2 grants PickyPiggy to the whole lobby once the purchase requirement is met. Check each roster afterward; no late-join or reconnect guarantee is established here.
