Spawning Kronos Titan in !Founders

Is it possible to spawn the Kronos Titan ambush in a non-Founders zone? If so, how and are there exceptions?

No.

The Titan used to spawn on the Mission leader once they were out of the mission and the mission was complete. So the leader would leave the mission, and the team would complete it, and the Titan would spawn under the globe in Atlas, or in the middle of a Hami Raid, or all sorts of other places, solely to grief people. So they changed it so his spawn points were limited. I'm pretty sure he just spawns at the mission door now.

From what I've heard, Kronos spawns for the mission holder next time he enters a zone after the previous mission is completed. So you would have the mission holder wait somewhere else while the rest of the team completes the mission, then have him zone to the desired zone. Beware of drones though.

I haven't tried this myself, so I can't say if it's true, if it is something that used to work and has been changed or if it's just a rumor.

Edit.: Too slow

As mentioned, the Titan (and other ambushes) will spawn when the Mission holder enters the next eligible zone (usually where the mission is located). Also as mentioned, the eligible zones are limited to not include many griefing areas like Atlas and the Hive, but you can still spawn the Titan in other zones by exiting the mission via Ouro (not a valid ambush zone) and zoning to IP or Talos for example. You might even be able to do it with Babbage during Synapse TF, if you felt the need for some reason. lol

Without further purposeful testing, I can only say that ambushes are excluded from Atlas Park, Ouroboros, and The Hive. I'd imagine there would be several other zones like Galaxy City, Midnighter's club, PocketD, and maybe even the Sewers that are not eligible too, but I wouldn't be able say with any certainty. Stranger things have slipped through the cracks.

Someone just, not 30 minutes ago, spawned Kronos in talos, right at the base of the hill by the train.

So I'm guessing that he exited by Oruo Portal and zoned into Talos.

A few years ago, a player did a *lot* of testing on this. The post has long since been purged, but I saved the info on the Wiki talk page for Kronos, as well as a bit of testing I did.

Babbage, also, can be spawned elsewhere, but seems to have more limitations. For example, a few years ago when Protector did one of their Robot Rampages, we had about 15 Kronos's piled up in FF, but none of the Babbages we had ready would spawn there. The 2 or 3 Babbages I had ready only spawned when I went to other zones.

Yeah, that was me. I bet the cheap ganker just waited beyond the horizon for the AFK chat bubble to appear...

I've spawned it in Talos before too by porting to my SG base then using the teleporter to Talos. Probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, but luckily nobody else was around so no collateral damage done.

Haven't done it in a while, but I have spawned Kronos by autocompleting the mission that triggers the ambush, then zoning to an eligible zone.

Experiment time. Go vigilante, get the mission. Pocket D then head redside. Can Kronos be spawned in the Rogue Isles?

How does the titan even fit in the sewers? That has to be weird.

Red side could be fun. Grandville in the main square.

Shadow Shard. I don't know how, but it must be done.

That was funny. i was hanging out in the Talos tram deciding which alt to switch to after the team had broken up when i started seeing chatter in broadcast about a Kronos Titan. i headed out of the tram and there was your corpse sprawled at the top of the hill with the Kronos Titan slugging it out with some other heroes at the bottom. Thanks to you i got the badge.

im still interested in seeing a kronos vs ghost of scrapyard fight lol, that would be really interesting lol

Hmmm.... well, maybe. What happens to ambushes if you log out before they have a chance to spawn {for example, O-porting out of the mission, and logging out}. Will they spawn when you log back in and enter an eligible zone?

As far as zones that Kronos can't spawn in goes, I tried to spawn him in the RWZ recently by using my SG base teleport, and he never showed. I then proceeded by SG Base teleport to Independence Port and he showed up there, within spitting distance of Statesman.

Yes, this is the tactic Protector has used on it's many robot rampages (search the web for video). In some cases, I've had a bot held for up to a month before finally logging in on that character and spawning the ambush.

Hmm, should we do a Robot Rampage in Praetoria or Rogue Isles next?
