loot spawns in official servers
a few unheated rants... hope this is the place for this post...
i am pretty bummed out by some of the changes regarding loot spawns lately...
cant seem to find nails... anywhere... i find bolts EVERYWHERE... but why are nails suddenly so rare? its terrible...
clean rags... use to be plentiful... now they are rare i have to cut up nice clothes seems like the only way to get them now days... i know its not the only way but they are just super rare...
resource places going from having like 5 or so items to just 2 ... like cars always having 2 scrap instead of 4 or so...
brick STACKS going from having like 5 bricks to 2 ... its a stack of bricks... seems like i could find more than 2 non cracked bricks.

if anyone has advice for me regarding these items i am completely open to suggestions...

been kinda frustrated in my searches for these items last few days... but i wasnt going to come on here and blast you guys... just wanted to gently let my concerns be known.

thats exactly what i thought... while i was able to find some bricks there... they are drastically reduced in number.
i went to the scrap yard with my buddy... he did find a box of nails but only a 9 count and thats all we found in 8 hours of looting... we hit a bunch of other spots and dang they are just extremely scarce. lol the bolt count was plaguing me though i found 20 single bolts lol
we hit 4 drops hoping to find nails and no nails... found a drill and some bolts though.

bunkers literary have insane loot right now got an ak 15 and at4 rocket launcher and a grenade launcher in a single run bottom line loot has been nerved in town and out side of locked lockers but if u lock pic in police station and in bunker you get insane drops


so the loot in my experience is way better than ever and might even take another nerf you just have to look in places u never did before

i looted town all day yesterday once an hour and make 40k in cash in a single day that enufe money to fully gear

i feel like most of the complaining is just from people who aren't as knowledgeable at the game and for those people i really dont mind going on a official server and showing the ropes for a whole day i find this whole patch to be fine including the new energy and sleep mechanics i played on my character for 12 hours today and he still only has like 12 scu in tiredness

overall with loot i love it drops lol nerfed but huge bounus on locked lockers now so the trade pays off allot better overall and anyone who knows what there doing will find this loot to be crazy

all testing on all new mechanics done on official so if your on private even if they say 10x loot sometimes that messes with what actually drops ive noticed and you get allot of the same stuff ware as in official its less loot but more variety like with nails you said i can take a pic of my loot from the town yesterday i have about 12 nail boxes from looting all day

also i havent tried air drops yet so since thats all locked lockers im guessing it will be insane loot

i know how to play and have been experienced for a while haven't really hit bunkers in official yet i am building some other things... i have hit them a lot on single player i havent touched any settings on there so i play with vanilla settings... i agree i got some crazy loot in the bunker on single player. ive got okay loot from the towns but i am finding certain items i never use to find... and then some items i really really need i can not find.

i did find a box of nails tho finally. that was cool.

i agree about #x loot servers. i know if you have X times loot you get a lot of normal items ... loot gets sweeter the less X it is imo.

least that reply was constructive and you dident bite my head off for the most part tho all the good loot just moved to lockers and if your opening thoes you will find the trade offs to be way better as you will get insane loot i get like 1 to 3 guns per bunker run and its just the c1 bunker not even a good one

It seems not worth gattering those scarces resources to build something that will be blow up with a fraction of the time that will you spend to build
Building intens should be plenty every where right now because there is many ways to destroy a base. Even more now with the lasts updates.

preeching to the quior
you will see the lockpickers on here trying to AVOID the hard fact lockpicking is seriously slanted broken for the lockpickers

they will say ANYTHING but the fact lock pickers have that advantage...
i watched one of them say
walls are too easy to blow up with c4 , and even c4 is easy to get..
and that locks were "like butter"
doors had to be blocked by foundations to be "safe" and that world houses are un-secureable. but again refusing to just state the obvious... locks are seriously broken in favor of lockpickers

bro
i KNOW theres an advantage
i used it SEEN IT DONE IT
but people dont wanna lose it

The loot rework imo has been a success, its much better now than it was, official seems in the most part well balanced.
Keycards are still an issue, probably worse now, and some items like the gloves need lowering.
On Base building it just takes way too many resources, it was like this before the loot change and the changes have just made it worse, added that the methods for destroying base elements have been significantly increased, its starting to make building a base kinda pointless.

even playing in server with 0.7 loot i have no issues finding nails or making rags, there are tons of clothing around the map and pharmacies are actually decent now too. i find lots of nails, usually in the workshop buildings. can easily find bigger heaps of metal by searching the big piles of metal instead of vehicles. you will get like around 10 ish pieces of metal and sometimes other stuff too. other than a few minor things i think the loot seems fine to me

Thats 0.7 loot... im talking about 8.5 and OFFICIAL SERVERS ONLY
i dont play other servers therefore i do not know.

i found 40 bolts before i found 10 nails multiple occasions.

looting for 5 hours i found 2 clean rags (unless of course i cut clean clothes)
this was also multiple occasions

absinthe father and alcohol in the world are nearly gone... the city pub no longer has liquor on the tables.

Garbage now very very very rarely has loot

Jackets seem much more rare now.

town loot use to be rare guns and while there was a lot of air there is much much more air now. i can still get a bit of loot but certain items seem unrealistically rare. that is my simple point of this post. and im not going to be harsh or anything just simply stating these things. i am not the only person with the opinion there are many others ive been talking to.

I think he means loot set at .7, 1 being default.

I am not the best player here, but loot in official servers is not good. Yes, you can find stuff in bunker lockers and in police stations but screwdrivers are super rare. I ran multiple towns yesterday and only found 1 screwdriver with only one use left. As a new player with little fame points it is not easy for me to travel around the map nor to get any ammo or magazines for the guns I find outside the lockers which is on infrequent occasions.

I think that screwdrivers should be a little more present in the map since they are screwdrivers in a realistic world. You should find them everywhere even in an apocalypse.

Same for me, I spent HOURS of looting trying to find 3 nails to build a chest... I find bolts everywhere but no nails

I like new loot spawn system. Now is it game more challenging. More survival. Yes, I love it. :scum_banana::scum_bear::scum_cleaver::scum_mushroom:
