Extra stuff in Four Jerks?

[toomanynights]

I loaded Four Jerks mode for the first time. Everything's fine, except for a fact that right after I picked 2 characters, I ended up with 8 pistols, 28 first aid kids and a few hundred pieces of ammo.
It was surprising, so I left, started a new game and picked characters without "Car nut" (maybe the car has extra stuff in it now, I thought) or "Gun Collector" perks. And this time it was the same... but with 35 first aid kids instead.
Does Four Jerks mode always give this abundance of free loot in the beginning? Or maybe I unknowingly activated some cheat mode?

feels like you stumbled upon a bug, i played four jerks once and it never dropped so much loot at the start as a freebie

something similar to this happens in OPP (at least for me), another gamemode where you can pick any familiar character of yours. whenever the game is started, if you have any gun collector custom character at all, you will start with gc's starting guns, even if you didn't select the gun collector character. this applies for any perk or trait that starts with Bonus Loot, not just gc. how peculiar!

I've gathered from the code, that in both Four Jerks and OPP scenarios, once the game spawns all familiar characters on the map, you:
- never get another Familiar recruit for the whole game,
- instantly get all stuff from Familiar Characters even if you don't recruit them.
I've submitted it as bugs via email, hope they can fix it some time.

never knew about that first one! weird!!!

Yeah, they just don't shuffle back the custom characters after they generate them all in 4J/OPP lobbies. It can be fixed quite easily, but then again, you'd run a risk of getting custom characters that you've recruited from those rooms again - and that would be a bit harder to fix.
