looting tanks

[❄Minta❄]

since the update all tank loot has been locked, and tank bodies seem to fly away so i cant even loot them for quests like the Corpse Tank. hopefully the latter gets fixed but as for the former...how tf do i open tank crates now?

I've actually been curious if the drill would work on those locked containers. Otherwise, I'm assuming it's bugged since you could loot them before.

Using the Drill consumable, maybe, if using the drill for them is now implemented??? But you need to balance if what it might contain is worth wasting a ¢6k+ consumable on,, previously it was often just a bunch of mystery meat / mre's

when the tank explodes it launches 2-3 boxes, one of them is usually food yeah but the others contain some valuable components, the most important box on a Corpse tank though, is the one behind it, the tank got stuck on something once so it didnt fly away but it was locked.

i couldnt get into a corpse tank cuz the tank bodies keep flying away into the void after being destroyed but i did manage to use one of the drills on a T90 tank...i think...its all really buggy so i have no idea if the drill got used or not. but i did manage to open it i guess? lol

Historically 80% of the stuff that a tank spews is barely worth bothering with, now if I've got to pay 6k+ for a consumable for something (some component or other) hardly worth more than the drill then I personally ain't going to bother

i brought drills to an ashen mesa run after seeing the locked vehicle loot and it wouldnt let me use them; either using drills on them are not properly implemented, or something else needs to be used for them

You get tank parts now. Sometimes. I just opened one that had MRI rations and canteens and stuff. I was like, good use of 4k drill.

In general, this also goes for Exos, when stuff is burning, it's really difficult to even understand what you are looting, at least for me. Thus I never loot wrecks.

when it comes to burning exo's i just run in when its safe, when im prompted to loot i loot, Exo's usually give some pretty valuable stuff, plus there is the quest turn ins, though i've had a lot of practice ruimmaging through flames in order to turn in the Exo Pilot quest

Yeah that's another quest I have difficulties with, to get the downed Pilot. The flames just make me go into panic mode, also visually it's difficult to make out what you're doing, maybe if they reduced the flames around the vehicle a bit? I don't mind the actual vehicle being on fire or smoking.

If you ping with z the pilot is marked as item. You won't always find them this way but it beats trying to search the flames while the air dog is watching you.

I still dislike the locked tank crates. It would be one thing if they had fixed the flying bodies, boxes, and the speed of item despawn first but why would I bring drills for that?

I didn't even know you had to use drills for that, thought they were exclusively to crack open containers on the swamp map.... One never ceases to learn

So TLDR; the loot system has changed with the Tanks and loot box itself is the tank , HOWEVER the physics of the tanks are too buggy and fly all over even damaging the player, thus making looting said body impossible to acquire certain items such as markava parts and T90 components …. YOU normally could loot them no matter what however now needing drills to acquire said gear can be now an issue due to this bug alone….. so for future till they fix the tanks, don’t go for tank farming in general it’s dead and is impossible to acquire even
