Location
The Mothership Pilot spawns inside Skinwalker Acres, a region of radius 8 centred on 46, -28. It occupies slot 4 of 4 on that spawn table, and being a unique boss it clears only 0.2% of rolls — and only when no other instance is alive. It shares the table with 4 other creatures.
Others on this spawn table
- Black-Ops Guard 200 HP
- Captured Grey 140 HP
- Escaped Xenomorph 1,600 HP
- Grey Operative 180 HP
Strategy
- Only one may be alive in the region at a time — clear the trash first so nothing adds mid-fight.
- At 120 a hit, two connected swings will end most unarmoured players. Armour matters more than damage here.
