Behind the scenes

  • Originally, Koover was not intended to be a ghoul nation, rather, due to a typo by Mechano, ghoul tags intended for Beltran-Levya and the Sinaloa Cartel became Bellingham and the Sinaloa Cartel instead.[1]
  • In 2021, Zusk and wtchappell discussed changing Bellingham's name to Koover, after the country. As of update 4.0, Bellingham has been changed to Koover.[2]

  1. Zusk: "Fun Fact:
    Just found out that
    Bellingham became a ghoul nation because of a typo in 2.0's development.
    Mechano did a push where he wanted to mak SIN and BLO into ghoul nations in our trigger files, yet made BEL and SIN instead ghouls.

    I didn't catch that before we released 2.1, so thatsIn-game spelling why Bellingham became a ghoul nation"
