Only adjusted curves, and I think it's pretty clear that it's Bs and not 8s
slender lodge
I think it's
sharp flame
again I believe it's a substitution cipher
slender lodge
What's that
sharp flame
one letter = another letter
all the 1s represent the same letter
all the 0s represent the same letter
yknow
sharp flame
and by the sheer amount of 1s in the final word it should be easily recognizable (from the other side)
as in, if we see the word (in english or otherwise) it should be pretty obvious that it's our word in the cipher
slender lodge
It could be the other way around too tho right?
The bottom line is 8 characters
Much like an 8 bit binary
If we figure out what B and A are in 1s and 0s
We could potentially find a denary corresponding to an ascii
But that's just something I threw in a hat
I think your theory is solid fish
sharp flame
I personally am gonna look through Kommissar X names, Spaghetti Western names, to see if there's one which has an 8 letter word with that one letter repeating
although you're right
the only numbers there are 1,5,9 and 0
and letters A and B
slender lodge
the only numbers there are 1,5,9 and 0
A, E, G
And. A0
So not numbers to alphabet
Hmm this might need some digging for sure

Was going to comment on the discussion about "password vs passcode"... I remember that discussion back on the Amiga BBS-era... so as long as it is in ASCII, it is a password, regardless if it is letters or numbers... ._.
(but all passWORDS are lowercase regardless if it is letters, numbers or any other characters in the ASCII-table, hehe)

I will say I think Rob's second image singling out the Cowboy hat and the AK is 100% intentional and important. The last time they shared a second clue image it was to put us on to a THEME of asteroids.

its in the doc... primer dots on the bullets

Also again Embark art department, you are killing it on these renders that second image with the hat boots and AK is gorgeous. these models are on a whole other level. I kind of want to know what you're using to render these cause they look like photos. It can't just be unreal is it marmoset toolbag or something? Off topic but damn they are just crazy good.
Absolute gold Dar, what I wouldn't give to pull a cashout building down right now 
Man idk why but this one the clues fit a lot more loosely in my head. Not drawing a lot of firm leads here. I want to focus on the clues that are found on the AK and Hat because of the second image, I also want to try and see if it links to the themes from our previous hunt. We've had a firm theme of astrology/astronomers in two of our hunts so far.

Could the dots on the 7.62 rounds correspond to placement on the pigpen cypher? They shift slightly usually in the North South West and East pattern on the primer
Does it change what the cypher outputs at all?
Or is there another cypher that is done by dot placement?
slender lodge
its in the doc... primer dots on the bullets
Oh right
I accidently called it Pringle bullets
timid solstice
oh i see haha
sharp flame
the more I think about this, the more I believe we should be seriously considering the Western theme of the image
1A was Comets and Fire
Aethusa -> derived from fire
Aethusa 1064 == comet
slender lodge
I think something definitely is the decoder for the musical dot thing
Either primer marks or the gun marks
sharp flame
If I had to guess, the answer to this one is now related to a Western theme
quiet silo
The musical notes remind me of a player piano's cylinder
Also a VERY western instrument
Player piano's were frontier tavern standard faire and you see them in lots of western themed media
timid solstice
self playing piano is in a roll though
so it would be about 10 notes and impossible to play

I found this cipher online which looks quite close to what we thought was musica...
I think the code we’ve found must be musical notes though because it runs a scale at the end (it actually sounds melodic), which you wouldn’t expect from code making up words. If that’s correct, then the question is - is the actual song important (makes it very hard!), or does it just point us to something like the player piano that was seen in a lot of saloons in spaghetti western movies?
slender lodge
dashyy
Hmm yeah but how do we decode it
Which dot corresponds to which note at which octave
pure loom
We might not need to - we might only need to recognise it as music and that is the clue
slender lodge
Like hum it in our head?
Oh just as music
But it doesn't look random like there seems to be a flow to it making me think maybe it's a specific song
pure loom
Duh made a digital version of the song a day or two ago - it sounds familiar but is probably too short to pin down to an actual song
pure loom
Lots of songs run scales like that
pure loom
Oh did he post it here
Yes, if you search for Duh’s posts you’ll find it
slender lodge

Yes, this one
pure loom
There are a couple of sections in the first half that are out of time, but the end works well - but I’d say we shouldn’t be expected to recognise a song from that small section - it’s way too short and many songs could sound like that
slender lodge
how do you guys decide which note it starts at?

How come yours sounds so different to Duh’s version?
wintry lantern
idk xd
pure loom
Oh - Duh’s follows the scale right down, but yours aligns the notes more level, if that makes sense
This is why I think it’s unlikely they’d expect us to actually identify the song. Even a trained musician would struggle to do that because the piece is so short. There are probably hundreds of songs that have little scale runs like this one does (when listening to Duh’s version).
slender lodge
https://flat.io/score/634d8abdfd58470012358535-my-music-score?sharingKey=70a908c...
owo this sounds nice
but yeah i agree RHB i dont think as well that we'll be able to find the exact song from something we dont even know the scale of
wintry lantern
slender lodge
unles.. its not a song 
pure loom
Maybe we’re just meant to guess something like Ennio Morricone, who was a very well known Italian composer - he wrote the theme for The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, which everyone would recognise.
So a more general music clue
Perhaps
pure loom
unles.. its not a song <a:aPES_LulExplode:619845779305136129>
If it’s not a song though, then it’s unlikely to make a word because it does run a scale musically - words don’t usually just run nicely through the alphabet
slender lodge
idk maybe they're reciting the alphabets
pure loom
Unless you are DEF
I think it’s definitely A song. But if we’re expected to work out THE song from that, it is a very big ask.

Kind of looks like a comet, eh?
Yes, I thought it might relate to Giotto’s painting in the cathedral in Padua - there are hints of blue and orange in the image and Giotto’s painting is all blue and orange.
Giotto used Halley’s Comet as the star of Bethlehem in that painting, which is why the Giotto spacecraft that passed Halley’s Comet was named after him.

I found the painting on the ceiling of the arena chapel interesting
First being that the ceiling is called a Vault
