Hunter Mega Base Loot

[EntitY]

Anyone else find that (although lots of fun) the loot payback for raiding the mega bases isn't really worth it? Especially the cost of making the breaching charge, and then grenades to get through the inside doors really adds up. I would expect loot inside to be better, like regularly finding solar panels, lots of electrical components etc.

Did you really expect the loot to be something amazing? I certainly didn't.

Likewise, I know it won't be worth it, but ColdGames can always tweak it. Hopefully he does.

One breaching charge, some shotgun shells, and hits with the pick/hatchet and all of the doors are gone. I agree that the loot should be kicked up a bit...especially if you use the BCU cracker. I'd expect to get a solar panel/windmill in at least one of the 4 boxes, every time.

Probably too new to know that raiding a hunters base has never been worth the effort. I suspected that this would be the case from past experience which is why I haven't even played the update.

CG, might want to begin to listen to your clients. I have read the same laundry list of gripes, suggestions, complaints for over a year and there are many others who have witnessed the same lists for 2 years plus. At this point, I find you to be a negligent dev. It's your game, granted but if you plan on making a living at this game moving forward, you might do well to LISTEN.

I see that this discussion is old, but wanted to chime in here as well. I turned on hunter after build in easy mode for a bit to learn the game. I made 4 breaching charges ( one for each door and decided not to wait for the BCU charge.) I blew the doors killed the hunters and all I got was diminishing returns. If base raiding is a large part of the game then the reward for the raid should be worth at least the cost. I got nothing but basic stuff I can make find easily without raiding. Not asking for a gold mine but some high level crafting mats and a base item would be nice. or at least let us salvage things we need from the hunter's bases. Cuircut boards, glass and metal etc.

Breaching charges should only be used on the metal door. Use cheaper items on wood doors.

While i've seen screenshots with claymores, solar panels and such in the crates of the hunter bases, when i decided to raid them i was extremely unlucky, thus underwhelming experience. I play on easy, does that have an influence on the loot?
I raided both bases the same day, as they were close to each other, second being the fortress. All combined, i got a mere 2 grenades, while i wasted 8 or so on the doors, plus quite some molotovs. No claymore, no solar or somesuch. One hunter jacket, that's it. Bit of glass and ores, nothing to write home about. And i broke every door to be sure.
Think i'll solely rely on the found grenades and make tons of molotov's bc they're easy to produce... Those breaching charges and crackers are too expensive, imo.

Have i been just unlucky or is the good loot extremely rare?
Has anyone ever found some phosphorous in the hunter bases? I assume no?

ive got i think 17 hunters jackets . ive gotten more than a few solar panels as well . it is hit or miss . also use molotovs on the doors , cheap and easy . one molotov then half door hp gone and pick it , you can use 2 but you will likely mess up the floor above .
