Please reconsider the loots on the military base

[Mitzuriki]

The journey there is difficult and looting is another as the place is as infested as mall. Imagine clearing the place out slowly just to find little amount of ammos and weapons. I doubt M16 even spawn there. The loot chances there should be increase as the place itself is difficult to secure. Like,literally the only reason to hit on the Miltiary base is to hunt army zombie that has the best back in the game. and Military uniform. What about guns? There should be more than just handguns.

depends on the difficulty your playing on and if you have mods depends on how well stocked the army base is

Install Brita's weapon pack mod and be amazed by how well stocked that place is.

Isnt that the mod that makes every shelf in game to overflow with guns? If you have that why go to military base lol?

I've never seen 'every shelf in the game' overflowing with guns while using it, but maybe that has to do with my loot rarity settings? It adds guns in places that make sense, like police armories and the military base, also adds more to the zombies like police officers and occasionally pistols on regular zombies. Not to mention a whole lot of new firearm types.

It's fun!

I hate to say it but that little military shelter beyond the dirt path through the forest is kinda pointless visiting now, there's a very undefended military shop somewhere near the middle of the map that generally has so much inside it it'll be all you ever need, somewhat. Coupled with hitting a gunshop or two which are also a lot more nicely located than the military shelter and there's little reason to head up there at all, unless you got really unlucky with getting a military backpack anyway.

I don't think the military shelter is finished yet anyway, they might be planning on improving it in a future patch - it has lots of empty rooms and also an awful lot of priest zombies hanging around too...maybe the loot will also be updated there eventually too.

There are soldier zombies there yes, but there's nothing other than their presence that implies that the secret base is indeed a military base.

The gun spawns inside it are for security guards among other things.

Many people will say that it's a military base. And many people expect it to be a place where military gear spawns. People make mistakes all the time.

You're right theres not much in the way of military loot there.....because it's not a military base. It's a satellite station.

Probably those that did not get the airborne version packed up(looted) every they could and ran away in an orderly fashion with their chinooks. Maybe that is what the helicopter event is about?:)
Also i never visited the place, i am considering it...but on my current run so far it would be...suicidical:) (Though i have a plan!)

[Mitzuriki]

For late game you must go there by foot. You need to be prrpared bcuz getting there alone is tiring and crawling with zombies

Honestly, other than the fences and guard posts, yeah. It looks more like a weird office building except for the security stations and gun lockers inside.

There should be barracks and food storage and a shooting range or something. When I first explored it it made me wonder if there's supposed to be a subterranean level or something.

How cool would that be? Underground military bunker!

My own personal assumptions regarding that base is that it was a off-the-record black project site, run by private contractors with a military contract. The assumption would be that it's related to the zombie event, but that might be a deliberate red herring.

And that the military zeds zeds there are the leftovers from an attempt to recover/destroy assets located there? Albeit that seems to make it more unlikely that it's a red herring.

But given that assumption, then it makes sense that the gun spawns there are indeed security guard, as that facility would have been using private security and not military. Albeit the default security gun spawns might seem a bit anemic for some expectations regarding what private security at a black project site would be kitted out with.

But then the question would be "where are the security guard zombies"? There are unused private paramilitary security zombie outfits in the file however.

I dunno, just spitballing here regarding lore and stuff? But my takeaway is that I wouldn't expect there to be military stuff stored there. Better security guard kit seems reasonable, but PZ is exceptionally conservative when it comes to spawning that stuff so as-is is consistent.

With the scientists and security there plus its remote location, it feels like a kind of shelter or test facility zone, yeah. Might even be where the infection began. It does feel unfinished though so it's hard to make an assumption on what kind of place it even is meant to be. The mish-mash of zombies hanging there in such large quantities makes me think it was some kind of preservation shelter, maybe a retreat for VIPs or something...which obviously failed, and failed hard, maybe the classic situation of someone hiding a bite that went unnoticed, etc.
