Is there ever anything in visor?

[Tasty Bunny]

I dreamed of find something like mathes there one day but kinda feels like wet dream now

also what is the purpose of fule cover? is this story mode related thing? I assume there are lovely gas inside there but no way to pull it out!

Nope. Never.

Lots of stories of people finding things under a car visor, no screenshots or videos given as proof.
Never found anything there myself, in over 5000 hours of playing on multiple platforms.

Fuel covers have been able to be opened for as long as I can recall. Perhaps a function that has yet to be added to the game, or one that was intended to be added, but scrapped for some reason. For now, it is just a fidgety thing you can do if you re so inclined.

Car visors will stay down or up if you place them that way, and some of us use them to show at a "quick" glance whether we have searched a car. Me? I leave the driver's side visor down if I have fully searched and removed all items from a car interior. I leave the passenger-side visor down if I have full searched and removed all items from a car trunk. Both down means the entire vehicle has been searched and all items removed. Both up means the vehicle has not been searched or that it still contains loot (that I may or may not have a use for- sometimes you have to leave things behind to prevent becoming too overburdened).

Fuel caps do not stay open IIRC, so so no use for marking a vehicle as searched or not- just a fidgety thing to do (that can allow a predator to sneak up on you, or attract their attention to you if you are trying to draw them in for hunting. Wolves in particular seem to detect your noise and movement if you stand there opening and closing that thing...)

That's not a bad idea.

I used to flip up the hood of the car on the exterior to mark that I had looted it, but then I realized that it blocks your visibility if you jump inside the car (e.g., from a predator), so I stopped doing that.


+1 to never finding actual loot under a car visor

If you use Time Capsule to play an early build (when there were something like 1-2 maps), then you'll find something, but even so it's rare.

The real question is why you can no longer find anything under a visor. I suspect that it's related to something being held in reserve for future Wintermute chapters.

In Wintermute, is it possible to find a key underneath a visor? (e.g., episode 1 Milton)

There was probably at some point plans for a siphon gas mechanic out of the tanks of cars for use as accelerant, but they probably decided it would be too strong or too weak to include. I imagine you could hop from car to car to get guaranteed fires, which would solve water and warmth and leave you only managing food.

Might have been cool to be able to search visors to find keys so you could start cars for a limited time until the gas in their tank burned away. Really depends how long after the collapse this is (Gas only lasts so long)
