Detailed locations[edit]

The table below describes the location and route of all known Veteran Dominion Supply Wranglers. "Return behavior" describes whether this particular wrangler will walk back and forth in a continuous loop, or whether it will despawn and respawn, effectively teleporting back to the beginning each time. "Required bases" indicates which bases Dominion must hold for the wrangler to spawn.[verification requested]

Behavior[edit]

Dominion Supply Wranglers have no associated event, but they follow a particular pattern. They will spawn at a set location in Dominion-occupied territory, accompanied by a friendly Pack Marmox (that is, friendly to the player). Then, they will walk along a set path to their destination (not necessarily another fortification). What they do after reaching their destination varies: on some routes, they will despawn and then respawn again at the start of the path. On other routes, they will not despawn, and instead walk back to the start to repeat the loop.

Once they are killed, their Pack Marmox will become a Scared Marmox and then flee. In the process, it will drop its packs and leave a Reclaimed Supply Pile where it was. The location that each marmox flees to appears constant, and it will despawn once it has reached it.

After a short while, less than 5 minutes, the wrangler and marmox will both respawn. The order in which the two respawn seems to vary. Note that, If you are trying to complete Special Mission: Disrupt Supply Lines, you should only kill the wrangler once the marmox has respawned. Since the achievement is progressed by collecting Reclaimed Supply Piles, which only drop when the Pack Marmox flees, killing a Dominion Supply Wrangler who has no marmox will not yield any achievement progress.

If the base that they visit is captured, both the wrangler and their marmox will run away together and despawn.

Notes[edit]

  • When Dominion forces reclaim the map a while after the completion of Defeat the Claw of Jormag, all wranglers will be able to spawn again. This may not grant much opportunity to kill them, however, as the map at that stage is typically less than 2 minutes away from closing.
  • Sometimes a Dominion Supply Wrangler which has completed its route will fail to despawn. Instead, it will walk directly to the start of its route, walking through midair if necessary. It should eventually teleport back to the correct point on the route.
  • Sometimes a Dominion Supply Wrangler may spawn without a marmox, in which case it will continue without it. The marmox may or may not respawn. If it respawns, the marmox may spawn at the beginning and run to catch up, or it may spawn beside the wrangler.
    • The Vloxen Mine wrangler is especially prone to losing its marmox, sometimes permanently (including across multiple respawns).
  • There is an exception to the required bases for each wrangler to spawn: The wranglers which spawn at Point of interest (map icon).png Wolf's Crossing Bridge may also spawn during, but not after, Defeat Vishen, Nicabar, and Ranoah, and seize control of the bridge.
    • If one of these wranglers spawns during the event, and is killed before its Pack Marmox spawns, the marmox will spawn later and stand still, not changing state, for the rest of the map's lifetime.
