question: about loot refresh/schedule

[VodkaFish 38]

Hi,

I play xbox on an official server.

People always seem to beat me to the loot.  I get lucky every once in a while, particularly if I go randomly about out of town.   However, most of the time it seems like the garages/sheds have been picked over.  

In Cherno I struggled with finding nails.   I moved to Berezino and found a lot of nails but could not find any 4 barrel padlocks.   I expanded my search to the city more north/east.   I found some nice stuff, gun cleaning kits, an MP5 which I later threw away lol, and lastly someone's camouflaged base in the woods which I looted for sniper rifle/night vision.   BUT no locks.

Is there a set schedule for garages and sheds to respawn loot?  I've noticed if you leave spawned loot in there it can stay in there for a while.  I've been trying to take everything out of the loot area to encourage it to spawn new stuff.

 

Thanks

"In Cherno..."

"I moved to Berezino..."

 

There's your problem right there. Get off the coast as soon as you can and move inland. You're wasting your time farting around in those areas.

So I've been told, a few times.  hehe.

My thought on this is:  We respawn there so it would be nice to have a base there for when I die.   I building bases along the coast to store basic gear.  I am sure a lot of others do the same.

So no one knows how many times a day, or week, loot refreshes?   or at what exact time?   I get the feeling the people who are out-looting me know the schedule.

AFAIK, it's 48 hrs that items last at the moment. This is getting drastically reduced in the next patch.

Thanks, I thought there might be a time too... like 0100 or something.

I managed to find two locks today looting.   The last thing I need is a pickaxe.  I usually find them all over.  I don't think people pick them up because of the weight.  I have not seen any in two days.   I got lost in the dark earlier, got two more mosins w/ scopes now 🙂
