There are a variety of cosmetic stickers to find! Some of them reference life in the Pacific Northwest, your journey through the Zone, urban legends, etc.
For max clarity on including the pride flags in the detail station inventory at the start - we wanted to include these stickers because the representation of these communities is important to us, and we wanted players to have access to them immediately without the RNG of finding them on a trip into the Zone. Felt weird to make people 'hunt' for their own representation.
This is something we as a studio made the decision to include, and something we'll continue to stand behind.

FYI, developers. I'm not buying any product to be preached to. I wouldn't give much of a shit if you had your propaganda on the RNG. Hell, you could have even put it on a bias in the RNG. But this action and subsequent doubling down makes me keep my money.
It's a shame, too, because this game looks like something I'd play. But I'm not in the habit of supporting things I dislike.
This is one of the things that slowly turned me off to Razorfist. Post-2016, one of the things he frequently went on about was gatekeeping gaming from the left... only to turn around to buy and stream Battletech (2018), which, among other problems, was woke to the point that you couldn't make a normal white person in the character creator while simultaneously making one the main villain.
I'll spare you from having to read an entire essay, but the TL;DR of it is I watched him from his beginnings (or close enough, he started on Youtube in 2011, I found him in 2012), watched his channel grow, and eventually watched him fall (as a person, not necessarily his channel just yet) and eventually decided enough was enough.
I don't think Razorfist has ever been anything other than milquetoast lolbertarian.
Same here.
Any content creator defending or excusing it goes on my block list, and same for the developers who add this content to their games.
