Privateer Charger with Machete#

This is unused privateer model of privateer with a machete. Can't be seen in singleplayer or coop. He looks almost exactly like a Charger with BZ19 and acts like Pirate with Machete, but instead this one has dirt on his face. He can be spawned in-game with map editor.

Worth a Thousand Words#

This mission seems to be located in some sort of lighthouse, but the only lighthouse in this game is Rook Point Tower, which is located way too far from Amanaki Village. This might suggest that Amanaki Village might be located in a different location at some point, or the game once started in a different location.
