Entropy Zero 2 - Getting the Crowbar or USP Without Cheats

By starting Chapter 2 from New Game, you can potentially grab a Crowbar or a USP Match from rebels you have kicked. It's only one or the other, so choose wisely! This also costs you your Gauss Pistol, but it's a small price to pay for a reliable melee weapon or pinpoint accurate 9mm shots.
Exploit originally documented here: tvtropes.org/p.... All I did was go through the motions and document each step.

It's interesting how the crowbar was never intended to be used by Bad Cop, yet USP is fully animated and functional and doesn't even reuse metrocop viewmodel from the prologue

[@YossarianAssyrian]

Yeah, it's an odd detail I'm not sure what to make of.

[@Yourlocalwordrobe]

they propably wanted to add usp but were like "what if we add this smg from beta and laser usp?" "jerry you are a genius"

[@Cyonsia]

@@YossarianAssyrian I animated the USP in case any mappers wanted to use it in custom content. The crowbar admittedly slipped my mind.

[@YossarianAssyrian]

@@Cyonsia Oh, cool! I hadn't realized that.

[@danielsurvivor1372]

​@@Cyonsia Slipped as in you wanted a custom crowbar animation where Bad Cop arms are visible? 😮

[@lilian-pvz5126]

Interesting, I also like how the crowbar is listed as "Overwatch punitive rod"

[@YossarianAssyrian]

My guess is that it shares the same text as the Stunstick.

[@hatti...]

If you use E to pick up a crowbar 3650 says "worthless"

[@YossarianAssyrian]

I had a good chuckle when that came up in my playthrough.

[@zorgapb4691]

Let's be real, he prefers the Stunstick

[@Yourlocalwordrobe]

fr you can atleast cook something with stun stick@@zorgapb4691

[@lazabush]

when i tried, he didnt say anything smh

[@pasta1549]

@@lazabushshould be one in chapter 2, at the warehouse. Deal with the first sniper and stroll around in the main warehouse part with all the blue goop barrels. Should be one on a table, just pick it up

[@kiervip1594]

By the way there is 4 types of pistols you can pick up
1 Gauss (I think I dont need to explain)
2. Arbeit Pistol (12 ammo and bad damage) [p226] (in place where you find scar zero)
3. Usp (dropped from rebels)
4. Glock (20 ammo and burst mode) my personal favorite and one shots every single rebel in head.

[@YossarianAssyrian]

I never knew the Arbeit Pistol could be picked up! I should try doing that sometime. The Glock is something I've been meaning to grab as well.

[@Megajaybreaker4]

There’s actually another weapon you can get. There are a few members of the jump team that have a unique pistol. It has a different world model but the same view model,but it has the property to swap between semiautomatic and three shot bursts. Wouldn’t recommend using the three shot burst due to it having a REALLY long delay between shots after use.

[@YossarianAssyrian]

I think that's the Glock from Counter-Strike: Source. I didn't realize you could obtain that as well!

[@Megajaybreaker4]

@@YossarianAssyrian ah,I thought it would’ve used the HEV view model like the rest but I guess it could be a exception.

[@shiragamishiro1954]

The USP is god damn OP
It can one shot rebel on the head and it pretty accuracy
No wonder dev don't want us have this pistol
Because it unfair for rebel

[@tortila5653]

In hard rebel with usp three shot me with 48 hp

[@JJMDthelilypod]

I discovered one myself where you can enter chamber catacomb with weapons at the start

[@YossarianAssyrian]

Cool! I would love to see that.

[@TheNineHearts9]

Would had been interesting to use the crowbar and 3650 calling himself “the anti freeman”

[@Communityofweirdostv]

One of the first things I tried when I finished the game was piling up supplies in the room where clone cop explodes the floor under you, taking you into the Arbeit facility. I tried to see if I could get the Arbeit pistol and was blown away when it actually worked lol

[@YossarianAssyrian]

Do you have a video of that? I'd love to see how it works step-by-step!

[@nolmc]

I found a way to get weapons past the emancipatiom grill including the usp. So instead of being forced to use the gauss pistol you can keep the usp through the whole game

[@YossarianAssyrian]

How did you do that?

[@nolmc]

@@YossarianAssyrian I made a recording of how i did it, but its quite laggy and low quality. ruclips.net/video/EB5Ntozchmw/видео.html

[@protoversesigma]

hope they will add 3650 hands for crowbar in the future

[@YossarianAssyrian]

Same!

[@lore644]

really i hope they do it for all the weapons, even things like the gravity gun and displacer pistol/“portal” gun

[@YossarianAssyrian]

@@lore644 I do, too. The bonus weapons have a lot of potential for custom maps and such.

[@Cyonsia]

🤔

[@Operative_Prototype]

also you can pick up NPC's Glock it actually kidna good

[@pasta1549]

I shit you not I tried this on hard with the usp and it was singlehandedly the best decision I made. Made just about to the end with some I picked up from rebels and Jesus the accuracy is generous compared to the gauss

[@danielsurvivor1372]

Can't you get usp from Scar Zero as well if you do some shenanigans?

[@YossarianAssyrian]

I honestly don't know. How would that work?

[@diegosuazo2883]

USP is so broken

[@YossarianAssyrian]

It is really powerful.
