Incredibly bad luck with food/drink can spawns

[coolboynaked 0]

I've lost (almost) 2 characters in as many days to the same thing: every town I check there's no food/drink.

First character:

Made out like a bandit from Cherno with 4 cans of food & drink, an AK off someone he killed with a hatchet, and 2 morphine. Headed north, looting every town along the way. For 4 hours of game time and after looting about 7-8 small towns and 2 big ones, did not find a single can of drink or a water bottle. Died of thirst despite starting out with a huge reserve of drink.

Second character: Left Elektro with only 1 cans of bean, 6 (!) cans of drink, a shotgun, but unfortunately no morphine as a sniper was watching the hospital. Headed to Cherno. Got morphine there, but was out of food and hungry. Met up with a friend who gave me some cooked steaks. We hunted players in Cherno for a bit then we seperated and I headed north, looting Vysota, Mogilovka, Staroye and Msta. Did not find ONE can of food. Right now i'm resigned to my death as I will die of hunger while travelling from Msta to Dolina (where there probably won't be any food anyway)

Losing characters like this really sucks :(. I've yet to find a matchbox in this game that wasn't on another players corpse or tent.

People argue theres too much or too little food and drink but truth is get a axe, hunting knife and matches u got infinite food, get a water bottle infinite water, you could go live in the woods and only leave for water, i think it's too east perhaps

You know how rare matches are, right?

Whether you die of thirst or hunger is total luck.

Cans of food are so common, between them and finding matches I find it hard to starve to death but I do keep a canny eye on the meters. When I have cooked meats and find myself either looting food off of zombies or in a town, I'll eat the canned goods before resorting to the meats.

Farmer zombies have food/drink. VERY helpful tip right there.

They're supposed to be common, but eventually all loot spawns get replaced by tin cans as more and more people filter thru towns, resulting in what happened to me in the OP

Ooooh BTW: In a very long session i visited the same supermarket again and again and i was under the impression that when i leave the main object in the loot spot the co-objects will actually respawn after some time ... so actually giving you a small ability to control loot spawns. Might be total BS, though.

Anyone with a similar impression?

That seems to have changed ... nowadays it feels like matches are the new spam.
