Loot tables adjustments

[Lady Kyrah 1110]

We all know now that as it stand, military gear only spawn in a handful of places.

What i suggest is simple, every single loot spot should have the entire loot table available.

However the chance for everything should obviously vary, what i mean by this is that even if it's 1 chance in 1 million that there is an AK in a barn, this chance should still exist, any gear should potentially be anywhere, the only thing is that gear that is not normally found in this setting should be possible, but extremely unlikely.

That would mean that sometimes, just sometimes you get lucky and find something unique where you did not expect it and it would release a little bit of the pressure that is currently on cherno/elektro/airfield.

THe scenario is totally possible if you think about it, maybe some soldier accidentally lost a clip in this barn during the retreat, it's very unlikely, but not impossible.

Agreed. I don't even bother checking barns, regular houses etc. any more because I know there's never anything worth my while in there. Would be just a waste of my military grade bullets to kill the zeds outside for some Makarov mags and beans.

I'd like to see more important stuff spawn in far away villages, like toolboxes, knives, and matches.

I guess I would be ok with this.. but the percentage chance would have to be so minuscule that it wouldn't even effect much anyway.

[Lady Kyrah 1110]

That's the point, that the percentage would be minuscule but that now and then, it would happen, instead of now, where everyone is certain it won't.

I agree with this. Or a soldier has been eaten in that house and turned into a zombie for example... Or a survivor that died there... There are a lot of ways to explain as to why is a military grade weapon there. (I would expect the farmers at Chernarus to have some AKMs just like in the ArmA 2 campaign when they resisted against the Chedaki)

As Grunt said, there's plenty of reasons why military gear would be in places other than just the military bases, not the least would be that when things really went to hell in a handbasket the surviving military people would likely have scattered like cockroaches and wound up dying in other places. Also ex-military folks who went home but kept some of their issued gear or bought their own after they got out.

Hell, it isn't even the zombie apocalypse and if you went digging through my apartment you'd find a DMR, a PVS-14 nvg, civi SA Mk12 and loads of other gear. Sure, I'm probably the only guy in my entire neighborhood with that stuff, but it still shows the possibility to find it in a residential area.

Places like Humvee's and tanks should be able to have the possibility for the military loot.

[Lady Kyrah 1110]

Well i'm simply basing myself on the idea that in quantum physics and the theories of the multiverse, everything is potentially possible, how likely it is to happen is the big question.

This needs to be a thing.

[DemonGroover 8836]

+1 why not. If a guillie suit can spawn in a supermarket why not an AK in a barn

Yes the game needs this for longevity IMO. Also it is a prerequisite for the idea in my sig :P !
