Beachcombing got nerfed?

[H34VY_R41N]

On a fresh run since the last hotfix I find literally nothing (empty trunks, rotten fish and carcasses) after blizzards in CH.
Was it nerfed or just me being unlucky?

Pretty much my results as well although I still cook the rotten fish. Ruined to 50%...or bear/wolf bait :)

I don't risk carrying stinky stuff along the coast )

I'm making an assumption that you are playing on Loper?

At least my experiences from the latest blizzard combing were overwhelming: woollen underpants, half-condition hatchet, four broken arrows and one intanct, some shoes, rifle cartridges and cloth. And painkillers.
Ofc I'm playing on stalker, so all of this stuff can spawn. Imo it's been either just really bad luck, or its based on your difficulty level.

I understand, that mode does matter, but I got much more loot before the update at the same settings. It needs more testing, probably just bad RNG roll.

Hinterland probably tuned beachcombing.

I remember when it was first introduced the amount of salvage I got while in Desolation Point was pretty astounding. Then it was tuned and the yield of stuff fell to so poor that I didn't bother until Bleak Inlet which had fair to good beachcombing results from the spots where beachcombing debris would appear.

Beach combing was OP when 2.15 came out, now it is dramatically less in my experience.

In two Interloper games, one old, one new, i found the same in the Fishing boat - saw only once in each game.

Usually is Rotten fish, deer or wolf carcass, firewood, painkillers, cloth piece, eventually a cat tail or Birch bark and sometimes a low tier clothing piece in suitcase.
Lockers and boxes always empty.

Anyway beachcombing it's a good pastime for latter gamer, but PITA in early game, specially if rotten fish cause FP.

My plan in the latest Interloper game spawned in DP was stay in CH, but don't find hammer there so need go search in PV, and return then again for pick the bedroll - forget in the first time.

But drop this plan of stay in CH-DP because:
- Don't find mag glass
- The fishing hut near Fishing Village don't have door, so are in the visual of the wolf in the pier.
- The wolf in Jackrabbit are patrolling at right of the house, not at left as usually, tricky get there with fish.

Nerfed about 3 days ago in my opinion. Boats and canoe not appearing . Loot still worth checking but the bounty of gear seems to be over. I am happy for the extra 30 birch saplings, hatchets, hacksaws, cloth, leather, flares and stims I found via intensive beach combing in CH on Voyageur.

I am now in Ash Canyon and will eventually go back to Coastal Highway. I half-way expect to see rather less debris on the icy shores that before. Not that it wasn't fair before but I will see whether it declined back to what it had been or worse.

No real reason for this post except to hear my own text: on or about April 26 I opened a metal container in BI with SEVEN HATCHETS in it

I found red toolboxes, though. In 2 different loper runs, now. In the current run I found one in DP and one in CH. Quite a good find, regarding the fact that they've become more elusive than thermo britches. I also found saplings, tons of firewood and workboots.

in interloper i found matches twice and wool socks at 95% and quallity tools and even if it got nerfed its still overpowered and it destroys the conservative feel of the game because why to wait for mag lens when you find matches and why to save extra clothes when you can find them on the beach and why to repair close to max value when you find so mutch cloth in the beach

[Blizzard Walker]

Despite dialing back the beach combing loot the last two CH beach walks after blizzards have been generous - playing on Voyageur. I found my first flight jacket, 1 old fashioned park, 1 new took, 4 intact arrows, 2 broken arrows, 1 hatchet, 1 knife and 1 hacksaw.
