Notes
It takes about 5 to 10 minutes for the game to actually spawn him but from here on everything is handled automatically by the game.
Note, vehiclesVehicles can instantly kill Winters and his shields, keep that in mind when placing your Phalanx SO. It’s best to place him in a dedicated area that can’t be reached by vehicles, as seen in the Goat Simulator heist.
Winters will only spawn when playing your map through Crime.net Online and on at least Very Hard diffculty. You won't be able to see him in editor playtesting.
