Bane Spider Ruben

I just did Bane Spider Ruben's arc this weekend for the first time and I have to say I really enjoyed the story. The final mission especially was very cool.

Curiously, though, I only found this arc by chance. I logged on to a villain I hadn't played in a while and wasn't sure what I wanted to do, so I hit "search for contact" just to see what would come up, and I got Ruben, who wasn't on my contact list. Certain characters and references in the story make it clear this is recently added content. Seems like most of the newer contacts are added to my active contact list when a character hits the appropriate level, and is indicated by a pop-up, but this guy never was. I checked some of my other villains and none of them had Ruben on their active (or for that matter, inactive) contact list, although they also could get him by selecting "search for contact" if they were in the right level range.

Is Ruben normally introduced by another contact? Or by completing a mayhem? I looked on Paragonwiki but there's almost no information about this contact yet.

Don't remember if he's one of the ones introduced this issue or not - if not, then he's one of the ones you just "walk up and shake hands" with. (Found Linda Lockhart and... bah, the art museum guy... the same way heroside.)

And I now want a Reuben, but have none of the fixin's. Bah.

Odd, the trend for the several years seems to have been to make new contacts as obvious as possible, either by having other contacts give you an introduction mission (Dave Wincott, Jim Tremblor for example) or by auto-adding them to your contact list (Keith Nance, Dean McArthur for example). I haven't had to actively seek out a new contact in forever. I guess I need to use the "search for contact" button more often. Either that or pay more attention to the release notes.

And thanks for the heads up about the two heroside contacts. That was the other question I forgot to ask--whether or not there might be other new contacts I've overlooked.

Yeah, he's from the newest issue. There were four - the three you mention plus... um... Brother Something-or-other (the Luddite guy).
