The Entry Point community is full of popular misconceptions, and I felt the need to address
some of them.
Anyway, here are 10 Misconceptions in Entry Point.
#1: The Ergo Grip is the best grip If you look at the attachments in-game, then
you'll see that the Ergo Grip decreases spread while the Stubby Grip seemingly does nothing.
However, if you actually check the Wiki, then you'll see that the Stubby grip has a more
useful ability, which is why it's the best grip overall.
The exception is the CBR-C, which is generally better with the Angled Grip.
#2: The Freelancer Heists This expansion is called the Freelance Heists,
not the Freelancer Heists.
This is a fairly minor thing, but it's just a very common typo.
#3: Stealth is canon Ever since the Deposit was released, there's
been a debate as to whether loud or stealth is canon.
However, with the exception of the missions that are loud or stealth only, there's no
reason to believe that either gamemode is definitely canon, since neither loud nor stealth
is contradicted by anything else in the story.
Thus, a correct answer doesn't really exist for most missions, and I suppose both gamemodes
are canon.
#4: Rivera alive is canon In Rivera's Lock code, she's classified as
Missing in Action instead of Killed in Action, which some have interpreted as meaning that
Rivera canonically survives the Scientist.
However, as Cishshato confirmed, Missing in Action doesn't mean "alive:" it just means
that Halcyon never found a body.
Thus, there isn't any objectively correct answer as to whether Rivera lives or dies
in the Scientist.
#5: Entry Point YouTubers are the best players This is something that I've seen a lot, especially
when fans dare me to do impossibly hard challenges.
I would consider myself a good EP player, and I'm better than most people, which allows
me to make guides.
However, I'm definitely a long way from being the best player, and I feel like most of the
well-known YouTubers are in a similar situation.
#6: The Freelancer and/or Rose actually survived Rebuttal: no they didn't
The SCRS Lock code clearly documents Rose's death, while the dialogue in the 2020 Halloween
Hitlist event offers confirmation for the Freelancer's death.
#7: The Freelancer is a traitor There's actually no evidence that the Freelancer
was a double agent during their time in Halcyon.
Yes, they were friends with Rose, but Rose played along like a normal Halcyon operative
without revealing any Phoenix intel.
In other words, the Freelancer was loyal to Halcyon, and they assumed that Rose was loyal
too.
What probably happened is that, when Halcyon realized that Rose was a traitor, they suspected
that the Freelancer might be a traitor and decided to take them out just in case, which
explains why they're so confused about everything in Dedication.
#8: Rose is loyal to Phoenix It's not entirely clear what Rose's motivations
are, but loyalty to Phoenix is definitely not the case.
Actually, the evidence would indicate that she didn't like either side.
For instance, she called Steel Cove to the Lakehouse and wanted the Freelancer to walk
away instead of fighting in the shadow war.
As for why she saved Jackdaw, my best guess is that it was for personal moral reasons,
since he was essentially backstabbed.
She probably intended for him to get away from the conflict now that he was presumed
dead, but instead, he insisted on revenge and dragged her along with him.
Thus, she got herself into a trap where she was simultaneously working for two warlike
sides, both of which would have her killed if they found out she wasn't really loyal.
Again, a lot of this is up to interpretation, but there is no way she was actually loyal
to Phoenix.
#9: Unof is pronounced as uh-nof So, my username is Unofficial, but if you
shorten it, it's actually supposed to be pronounced Unof, not uh-nof.
I don't know why I decided on this, but I've always said it that way, and I guess it's
the official pronunciation now.
#10: Entry Point is Roblox Payday A lot of people think that EP is just a Roblox
ripoff version of Payday 2, but I don't think that's fair.
There's certainly a decent amount of inspiration, but EP is different enough to be its own thing,
and the story and gameplay experience are totally different.
When I first played Payday 2, I had almost no idea what to do or how to play despite
having years of experience with EP, which shows that EP gameplay is far from being a
copy of Payday 2.
Anyway, if you're 13 or older, then I would recommend joining my Discord server, which
is linked the description below.
It's the #1 EP server and the best place to hang out with the rest of the community.
Anyway, I'll see you guys next time.
