How does the "Loot Amount" Difficulty slider work?

[Burt]

What setting yields the most loot, I or III? I've played with both of these and haven't noticed any large difference, making it hard to see which one increases the difficulty.

Thank you.

Ya Idk. But I can say, although not for sure, that III might be the highest, though I think that I put the Loot Amount to III, but I did not find the shotgun Item/Weapon nor could I get / see It anywhere at the Site of the Trailer, at 1st Spawn. Idk which one of the Names is what the shotgun is, Remmington 700 or Remmington 870. Although I think It might be the Remmington 870 since the 700# for the Remmington 700 definitely rings a bell for the gun AKA Rifle that was in 3.0 and the one that is found in the Trailer as a Primary Weapon. But I did get back into that Saved Game later and saw that It was on Loot Amount II, so That might be why I didn't see / have / pick up / find the Weapon as a Loot on the Site of the Trailer at Spawn, though I'm pretty sure that III is the Max for the Loot being able to Spawn with the Most of for the Loot Amount Setting, I just Toggle It to III even if It's not the highest because It does make the most Sense, to be the highest and the Max. But of coarse, I am Definitely Not Certain for Sure. For Now I think you Should Set It to III for the Max, Unless Someone Else Gives Another Reply Saying AND Prooving Me Wrong Otherwise.

I believe 3 for loot is more stuff, at least that is what everyone is saying. When playing with it I had plenty of Meds and Ammo and won the game solo.

I think I've Found the Solution, and WAY MORE stuff that You Might've been looking 4. some other ppl have this problem too, Ive seen. So Hopefully this helps and/or Solves the Problem.

I have found that no matter what I set the difficulty settings to, the game always sets them all back to II as soon as I start the world and won't let me change them anymore.

I am pretty sure that is a visual bug as bigfoot's health when i set it to 1 stays the same upon reloading. So if you set it to:
Health : 1
Damage: 1
Loot : 1
When you reload it will show 2 in all three but the actual values will be the original 1 values from what i have noticed.
