loot bags

[Marc]

I bought 7 days to die 2 days ago.I got version: Alpha 18.4 (b4) I can loot everything but zombies.Someone said maybe my version zombies don't drop loot bags is that true? If yes I want my money back I get Infected and can't find a cure and die by the 2nd day (game is no fun ).

[xTRACKERx]

then go for refund. nuff said^^ and jes some zombies drop lootboxes. sometimes.

No guarantee you'd find anything to cure an infection even if they could be looted. There's mods that may help with that, and learning proper tactics of when or when not to engage in melee, breaking off and running if you DO get hurt in order to avoid further damage and infection.Wearing armor, smashing tree trunks for honey etc..

But seriously, If the inability to loot a zed corpse is your "F this noise" breaking point, then yeah. Refunding is probably your best option. Cause it's only gonna get MORE difficult and you'll end up hating it.

Men, this game is in alpha for 7 years... Why you bought that?

[Marc]

It is what Green Man Gaming sent me.So this is a outdated version?

[DthBlayde]

nope. Alpha 18.4 is the stable release so it is up to date. Many of us here are running the experimental A.19 version, so you may see conflicting information but as it is now you have the current "retail version" of the game.

Yes zombies drop loot but it is rare. If you're having trouble then adjust the game before you start. There are many different settings from which to choose from to get the game to the point you like playing it.

I would strongly recommend watching some YouTube vids to learn how to play the game. If you are getting so hung up and mad over zombies not dropping loot all the time, then refund the game and move on!

This game was supposed to be a challenging survival game, but there are many settings to make it as easy as a milk run, where zeds do very little damage to you, and you can 1 shot most things by simply changing the settings.

Loot bags are rare and relying on them is unwise. Find some honey or antibiotics. Look for a pharmacy or check bathrooms in POIs. You could also try burried supplies quests.

Armor helps against getting infected, AFAIK. If you find glue or duct tape (check trash piles), you can make cloth armor in hand like so: cotton (white flowers) -> cloth, glue + cloth -> duct tape, cloth + duct tape -> cloth armor.

But your best bet against getting infected is not getting hit. Try to keep your distance by using a bow or a spear and kite zombies. And always keep plenty of stamina in reserve so that you can turn and run in case that they start charging.

as others have said, zombies sometimes drop stuff but it's rare. That should never be your primary source to find anything.

It sounds like your issues are due to being a new player. This gsme does have a learning curve, and it doesn't hold your hand beyond the most basic starting tasks. If you're not sure how something works, this g orum will answer your questions. (Or watch one of the many "getting started" videos, just make sure its for A18.)

But if you need to loot everything you kill, for sure get a refund because this isnt that gsme.

[Danzigsam]

Its a steep learning curve, and you can die early on just from bad luck. Starting out is a damn pain, intentionally, but once you get your skills up and get a base put together it gets easier.

Zombies very rarely drop loot now, but when they do its good stuff. They DO seem to contain a ton of experience points, which is definitely worthwhile.

Please refund, you're crying about the game ONE day in, probably stage zero with pretty much no difficult at all, by day 30+ you will destroy your computer, maybe this game is not for you, just refund it already.

[Morbs]

If you want to like the game, keep trying. When I first started I died and restarted at least 4 times before I began to get a grasp of things. Besides, dying isn't something you can be unfamiliar with in this game. Just do your best not to lol

[frostyglen]

I first bought this game on console, and that was an utter piece of trash. But I loved the idea of it, so bought it for PC. 800 hours later and I still love it. I think you need to give it a chance, Bud

[kerrytt]

For the infection, look for tree stumps and harvest them. There is a chance they will give you honey, which is good for minor infections. It currently (A19) cures 5% infection, but I can't remember if that applies to Alpha 18...

[Crater Creator]

By all means, refund it if you want. But if your main disappointment is not being able to loot all the zombies, mods exist that offer that kind of gameplay. My own ComSenMod is one such mod.
