Ocean crawlers sometimes give me a green lantern or a blue lantern upon death. Why both and not just 1?
Why do I get renown for killing skeletons when I kill ocean crawlers?
Why do Ocean crawlers continue to attack downed crewmates?
Why do I get killed by an electric attack and not get a white lantern?
Why is their poison green and not purple like all other poison?

maybe they watch a lot of zombie movies and are strong believers in the double tap
Inadequate internal testing is the answer for all these questions and oh so many more!
Guess they really wanted to avoid leaks and as such play testing wasn't as thorough as it should of been.
Hopefully the big numbers of people who were working on this update aren't punted onto EVERWILD, and they hang around to optimise and 100% fix Sea of Thieves from top to bottom
@paparug420 They got a lot of new fans with this update, but I do worry how these issues may have colored their expectations.
@galactic-geek definitely, hopefully the HotFix that is coming exceeds people's expectations before too much irreparable damage is done
Fingers crossed
@galactic-geek I don't mind getting sometimes green, sometimes blue...but the other points I agree with

You sir, can have an upvote!
Zombieland for the win
@galactic-geek I also wondered why it was such a random drop rate - some drop, some don't. It feels odd given how animals always drop meat and skeleton captains always drop a skull, key/orders, yet these guys are suddenly random.
I suppose perhaps it is to stop us gem stocking for massive rep gains!?

I think that's the case too.
I have been thinking about that though. Are we going to get Captain-like Ocean Crawlers in the future? Or are they always meant to be the troglodytes of the Sea? Is their spawn rate higher than it's supposed to be right now on account of the new TTs and event? I think the answer to that last 1 is yes.

Now you've got me curious. Maybe there's a consistent pattern that we haven't noticed yet. Perhaps a specific type of ocean crawler gives blue as opposed to green... or maybe they give you a different light if they kill you from the deck of your ship as opposed to on land?

No, I think it's because they replaced some of the skeletons with some of the ocean crawlers while other OCs are all new - it's also why you get the skeleton pop-ups with them. I think it's just incomplete programming.
