FAQ
In the Jungle start questions
Do you need to finish DAVE THE DIVER to play In the Jungle?
No. A completed main-story save is the recommended route, but New Game includes a Skip to Jungle starting point for players without a finished save.
Why is the In the Jungle DLC not starting?
Confirm that the content pack is installed and the base game is updated, then fully restart the game. For the normal route, load a save that has cleared the main story ending and return to the boat with Cobra so Dr. Bacon's introduction can trigger.
Can you start In the Jungle from an unfinished save?
The normal DLC trigger requires a save that has cleared the main story ending. If your current save has not reached the Epilogue, use New Game and select Skip to Jungle instead.
Should you use a completed save or Skip to Jungle?
Use a completed save when possible. It keeps the story in order and preserves your earned equipment upgrades. The developer also warns that a Skip to Jungle start cannot earn main-game achievements.
