Line of duty Series 3 Ep4

Denton is taken to AC-12, where she demands a formal apology. She reveals she has a recording of herself and Arnott in a compromising situation that she will use against him as evidence of perjury if they do not comply with her requests. Denton is forced to work as a supermarket cleaner and later records an exploitative parole sponsor trying to pressure her into sex. Arnott, who is losing confidence within the department, meets with Denton and asks for help in finding the link between Sands View and Hunter.
Cottan is awarded with a commendation for his perceived bravery in arresting a corrupt police officer, Bains. He then proceeds to tell Biggeloe and Fleming he is concerned about Arnott's behaviour and that Arnott is carrying a firearm in his jacket. Bains confesses to killing Waldron on the demands of his unknown contact, but insists he did not murder Kennedy. Arnott and Fleming confront Hastings, saying they believe they should question a retired officer on the subject of allegedly reporting to a mother that a sexual-abuse complaint of Roach was dealt with, resulting in Roach being charged and sent to prison. The mother saw Roach in the newspaper some time later, so knew she had been lied to. The death of a former social worker at Sands View, ruled as a suicide, is reinvestigated due to allegations that he attempted to report the abuse to police and may have been murdered to prevent his case being pursued. They eventually interview former Vice Chief Superintendent Fairbank, who claims to remember no details of the case. He and Hastings share a handshake that Arnott identifies as Masonic.
Cottan meets former colleague DC Nigel Morton and threatens to derail his pension if he does not hand over the last known evidence of Cottan's true allegiance – a mobile phone and SIM card with records of calls made to Hunter. Morton tells AC-12 'The Caddy' is probably still alive, leading Cottan to create a presumptive profile which he deliberately engineers to fit Arnott. Morton hands the phone and SIM to Cottan, who then destroys, in a car park (where Cottan was prepared to kill him had he had not complied), but it is revealed it was a duplicate and Morton still possessed the items in his car

## Usage & Description

Due to the Pumpkin Splicer being locked to the Incendiary  element, it is most effective when used on flesh enemies.

## Notes

* The Pumpkin Splicer does not share a hybrid with any weapon or grenade mod.
* Due to it being an event item, the Pumpkin Splicer will require the player to have the Bloody Harvest event active in order to obtain it.

Interstate 5

**Interstate 5** (I-5) is the main north–south Interstate Highway on the West Coast of the United States, running largely parallel to the Pacific coast of the contiguous U.S. from Mexico to Canada. It travels through the states of California, Oregon, and Washington, serving several large cities on the U.S. West Coast, including San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Portland, and Seattle. It is the only continuous Interstate highway to touch both the Mexican and the Canadian borders. Upon crossing the Mexican border at its southern terminus, I-5 continues to Tijuana, Baja California, as Mexico Federal Highway 1 (Fed. 1). Upon crossing the Canadian border at its northern terminus, it continues to Vancouver as British Columbia Highway 99 (BC 99).

I-5 was originally created in 1956 as part of the Interstate Highway System, but it was predated by several auto trails and highways built in the early 20th century. The Pacific Highway auto trail was built in the 1910s and 1920s by the states of California, Oregon, and Washington, and was later incorporated into U.S. Route 99 (US 99) in 1926. I-5 largely follows the route of US 99, with the exception of a portion in the Central Valley of California. The freeway was built in segments between 1956 and 1978, including expressway sections of US 99 that were built earlier to bypass various towns along the route. US 99 was removed in 1972
Interstate 14

**Interstate 14 (I-14)**, also known as the "**14th Amendment Highway**", the **Gulf Coast Strategic Highway** and the **Central Texas Corridor**, is an Interstate Highway in the U.S. state of Texas that follows U.S. Highway 190 (US 190). The highway was named for the 14th Amendment. In 2005, I-14 was planned to have a western terminus at Natchez, Mississippi (later from I-49 near Alexandria, Louisiana), extending east through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, before ending at Augusta, Georgia, or North Augusta, South Carolina. Advocates of the Gulf-Coast Strategic Highway proposed extending I-14 to I-10 near Fort Stockton and the junction of US 277 and I-10 near Sonora, Texas.

**Contraband** items are a new addition in Redux: Omega, and stand in as the rarest items in the game. Said **Contraband** items are either unobtainable items, or extremely rare collectables which are often hard to come across.

## Notes

* The Harmful Take does not share a hybrid with any weapon.
* As with all content within Redux, the Harmful Take is NOT available within base game. It is a modded item.
* Due to it's ability, the Harmful Take's element is very rarely an important feature of the gun. This is a result of the element changing on reload.
* As hinted at in it's ability, the Harmful Take has a built in Elemental Projector effect. For this reason, equipping an Elemental Projector with the Harmful Take equipped will not result in any additional bonuses.

## Trivia

* The Harmful Take is a direct weapon replacement for the Kaos DAHL Assault Rifle.
Lich

Lich, also known as "Zombies", are dead that have been revived by a Necromancer. These undead were forced to do the bidding of the Necromancer they serve. Lich are some of the most feared creatures in all of Seistia, especially to those whom knew the deceased one. A lich's body acts on the influence of the Necromancer's wishes, though half of its spirit is actually awake. Imagine the torture of perhaps killing/maiming innocent people or even those you once held dear and unable to stop yourself.

## Appearance

They will look exactly like their former selves, except they will be decayed and misshapen. Eventually they shall become a skeleton or simply decayed beyond measure. During The Great War many wore armour, though after it they were simply wearing what they had died in.

## History

Lich were founded by Nazologia Six-Hundred years before the events of the books. Nazologia openly expresses his self-loathing of creating these animated-dead, yet Morgause states that he had a small smile around his lips when a Lich was forced to kill her husband.

## Powers and Abilities

Lich can be flexible and careless due to them having less minds of their own.

* In extremely rare cases, it is possible to obtain **Pearlescent** as early as level 2 due to a rare bug which is encountered within the Loot Pools. You can also obtain them the same way via the Diamond Loot Room
* In even rarer cases, it is possible to obtain **Pearlescents** from Vending Machines.
Line of duty Series 1 Ep2

Gates continues his investigation into the double murder of the two suspected drug dealers, and forces a less than co-operative witness to talk by threatening to label him a police snitch. Meanwhile, PC Bannerjee and PC Larkin respond to a silent alarm at a block of flats and catch a burglar, Lee Plater, in the act. During interrogation, he confesses to a number of other offences, including a break-in at the house of a pensioner whose complaints are being dealt with by Fleming. Arnott interviews Nadzia, the waitress who gave Gates the free breakfast, and she reveals that a tall, slim and dark-haired woman was in the cafe with Gates. A search on the police database reveals that a number of burglaries committed by the offender caught by Bannerjee and Larkin were at properties owned by Laverty Holdings PLC. After visiting a hairdressers, one of the properties owned by Laverty, Arnott suspects that Laverty is running a money-laundering operation. The investigating team realise that the dealers' murderers cannot have found what they were looking for, but find a secret hiding place, where they suspect the drugs may have been stashed, which has since been emptied. Gates confronts Laverty over the death of her accountant. She invents a story but Gates realises that she was laundering money. Gates arrests her, but on the way to the police station she persuades him to release her. Meanwhile, another drug dealer is found dead on the estate, hanging from a lamp post with his fingers cut off, but Fleming realises that Gates has disappeared and informs Arnott. While Gates and Laverty are together in her house, masked intruders force their way in. Gates is knocked unconscious, Laverty is murdered, and Gates's fingerprints are placed on the murder weapon.
Eridian Focusing Stone

> “**Tannis believes this Relic has been passed down through the Eridian timeline to manifest rare currencies to those who consume it's knowledge. Perhaps doing so will result in something rather special?**”
>
>

**Eridian Focusing Stones** are a new item added in the Omega update for Borderlands 3 Redux. They serve as an exclusive reward within the Guardian Takedown, and are a Non-Instanced item. The Stones can be obtained via defeating Scourge the Invincible Martyr at the end of the Takedown.

When a Focusing Stone drops at the end of the Takedown, players will encounter it much like any other item in the game. Going over to the Stone and picking it up will instantly make it vanish and convert into 1 Diamond Key which is then awarded to the player's inventory.

## Notes

* As mentioned above, **Eridian Focusing Stones** are a Non-Instanced item regardless of game setting. This means that if a Stone drops in the Player's game, it will drop for everyone in said lobby. If the Stone is picked up by one player, it will disappear for everyone; and the player who picked it up will be the only person who receives the Diamond Key

* **Focusing Stones** are most identifiable by their unique red exterior and loot beam. This is due to the Stones falling under the new **Contraband** rarity.

* **Focusing Stones** can not be dropped by Anathema the Relentless or any other enemy within the Guardian Takedown
* It is possible, although rare to receive multiple Stones from Scourge when defeating him.
