Canned Muffins 82 Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) As of last patch it appears can openers in the loot table have significantly been reduced. I looted towns like Polana , Berezino, and the new town and found no can openers at all. Previous to the recent patch I could come up with 2 or 3 from server several hours after restart. However now even after several minutes after a restarts on low population servers it seems that can openers are extremely rare as well as certain cloth items. Items like the 2 slot striped shirts and base ball caps(blue, beige, black, red) seem very reduced. Oddly enough after looting these towns I have found at least 20 + weapon cleaning kits. I have a feeling someone switched can openers with the weapon cleaning kits in their spawn rates. Edited January 28, 2014 by Canned Muffins 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knifeparty 109 Posted January 28, 2014 I also seem to find a ton of hack saws.. I went to the berezino construction site, and I found four of them. Two were stacked on top of one another. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps it is just for testing purposes but I may just wait until the next patch to jump back on. Have played about 20 hours of the new patch and I really don't enjoy the new loot table its very lacking and empty worldish. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The loot tables and respawns probably won't be fixed for some time to come yet despite in my opinion they are critical elements to the game and should be quite high on the "To do list" Also glad to see there is someone sporting my muffins... good on you :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yorkie065 78 Posted January 28, 2014 Perhaps it is just for testing purposes ... This will be the reason why so few can openers, and soo many hacksaws. The devs want to make sure that everything works the way it's intended and eliminate any bugs people come across, especially as it's brand new stuff. We'll see this sort of thing with a lot more of the items that are going to be implemented between now and the release. I imagine once everything is all in and tested properly, only then will we see proper loot tables with balanced spawns. Even then I imagine can openers to be pretty darn rare considering it's perks it has over the quite large number of things that can open the cans of food.

knifeparty 109 Posted January 28, 2014 With that being said, I found two can openers in about two hours of play time on a server with about seven people on it. so I don't think it's horrrrrrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
