green-K- 101 Posted October 17, 2013 I'd rather say that are highvoltage power lines and the possible loot spawn was added with 1.8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) The powerlines have their own little loot table, i believe it just consists of scrap metal, tank traps and c-wire. Edited October 17, 2013 by Fluxley 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Planck 7174 Posted October 17, 2013 The powerlines have their own little loot table, i believe it just consists of scrap metal, tank traps and c-wire. And zombies. Oh, the horror. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capo 323 Posted October 17, 2013 i'm not sure whether i like it or not. it's impossible to get a good vantage point on a city or town without having some kind of zombie spawn near you, giving away your position. But for that same reason it's not so bad, i haven't had someone try to snipe me at stary since 1.8 came out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jex 1104 Posted October 18, 2013 I'm glad you raised this, this imo is one of the worst changes they made to the game. Everything industrial spawns here and zombies too so if you follow them, you get zeds all the way plus engine parts, fuel tank parts - you know - the things you always find under power lines (telephone poles lmao) in RL. Can we please have these removed it doesn't make any sense for 2 obvious reasons - 1) why would loot be here - should I check out powerlines in my area for gear now? 2) why the hell would there be zombies every 50 meters at every power line. There's also the stupidity of being able to just run along the lines and end up with an entire car at the end of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, loads of car parts and masses of zoms makes no sense. Making the power lines have a little loot and therefore zoms is quite a good idea, it stops people 'switching off' completely when using the power lines to navigate and goes a tiny step closer to zoms roaming outside of towns and cities.

klesh 2423 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Could anyone explain this to me? Industrial loot will spawn there. There's also the stupidity of being able to just run along the lines and end up with an entire car at the end of it? Did you bother to look at what actually spawns at these power lines? Scrap Metal 70.00% Tank Trap Kit 20.00% Wire Fencing Kit 10.00% Edited October 18, 2013 by klesh 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karmaterror 982 Posted October 18, 2013 Wont this just promote people going to Cherno with loads of tank traps and wire blocking all the spawns off lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StrangeOrange 15 Posted October 19, 2013 Wont this just promote people going to Cherno with loads of tank traps and wire blocking all the spawns off lol What I've started doing sometimes is just going down the power lines and picking up as much as I can, sans scrap metal. Then I find strategic places in the road and put a roadblock there. Wire fence in the middle with a tank trap on either end. I've had people complain about hitting "random crap in the road that shouldn't be there". Passive anti-armor banditry is what I call it. CX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
