The Octopus Truck Anomaly is a special event that players encounter during urban exploration, which requires completion through ambush, interception, and quick combat. Some players are still unclear about how to complete this anomaly or how to find the octopus truck. The editor has summarized the location and strategy for this anomaly. The task revolves around a moving truck with a pink octopus icon as the main target. Although the process is short, it is fast. Let's take a closer look below!

The Octopus Truck Anomaly does not need to be actively accepted. It automatically triggers when the player enters the Z24 Coastal Highway area. It is recommended to arrive in advance at the abandoned gas station in the middle of the highway. This is a must-pass curve for the truck, and the remnants of the gas station can serve as cover. If you can't find it, you can open the map; the icon looks like the one shown below. If the target does not appear within 5 minutes, you can exit the area and re-enter to refresh.

The target truck has a dark green body with a fluorescent pink octopus sign hanging on its front, making it identifiable from a distance. The truck travels eastward along the highway at a constant speed. When the truck is about 50 meters away, the player needs to rush out of cover and stop it laterally. If the position deviates from the center of the lane, it may result in a failed interception. It is recommended to use the character's slide skill (double-tap direction key) to quickly advance to the center of the road. After the truck is forced to stop, it will automatically enter combat mode.

Combat does not require dialogue; just start shooting. The truck has no shield value, but it releases self-destructing octopus drones (which explode 2 seconds after contact) from both sides. First, use the Vector submachine gun to shoot the tires and destroy the truck's mobility. Then, switch to a shotgun to attack the weak point on the engine hood (where the red light flashes). When the truck's health drops to 30%, the octopus sign will fire laser beams. At this time, roll to the rear of the truck to dodge and continue focusing fire on the engine to destroy it. After destroying the truck, the anomaly core (a pink octopus doll) will drop on the ground. Interact to pick it up and receive the basic mission reward "Anomalous Gel ×5". If no damage from the self-destructing drones is triggered throughout the process, an additional hidden achievement "Flawless Sharpshooter" can be unlocked, rewarding a limited paint job "Octopus Slayer" (car paint), which needs to be equipped manually in the garage interface.

The Octopus Truck Anomaly tests quick reaction and the use of close-range firearms. The key lies in choosing the ambush point and the timing of the interception. In practice, prioritize damaging the tires to limit movement, and focus on attacking the engine's weak point to significantly reduce difficulty. To achieve the hidden achievement, avoid taking unnecessary risks and use agile positioning to evade the drones, making it a suitable task for new players to practice mechanics.
