Do zombies not carry loot any longer?

[Carlzilla]

Of the 4 zombies I've killed so far in A17, not a single one has been lootable. Is this a new thing where zeds no longer carry loot or is this a bug I should report.

 

Thanks.

Every once in awhile they drop a big yellow loot bag. "Usually" something useful. It was changed awhile back so they weren't an easy source of loot.

Thanks. I haven't played since A15 so it's been a while.

 

Not sure I like that change...I'll probably end up changing it back.

The loot they drop is usually pretty good; food, weps, ammo, usually several items. similar to a safe or create, but with its own type of loot.

 

One time i was looting a tool store and got 3 loot bags in a row while clearing it out and then a 4th one after killing 2 more zombies that came in the building. Luckiest loot i ever got from them.

I like the new change with it, instead of looting 50 zed and getting mostly misc/garbage items and maybe some glass jars or water and some brass you can get some really good items if even only 1 dropped something.

Give it a chance.

 

At first I didn't like it at all.

I have several base designs for A16 that maximize loot.

 

Now we don't have to spend so much time cleaning bodies and, when you do get loot, which is rare [3%], it's really good.

 

After playing this awhile I'm really on board with this.

I like it.

 

Who knows, maybe in time you will too.

If you do decide you want it back, I've put things mostly back to the way they were in A16. At the very least may save you some time if you want to tweak it yourself.

Ah give it a try. You just don't have to worry about the 99% of the bodies having trash loot that was worthless. Saves time and memory. Change is good.

The loot needs a longer despawn timer, needs to make it through a night when fighting a horde.

 

Also spike kill XP please for SP. (shameless plug)

I like this change except that it has made Bones super valuable. Perhaps the most valuable commodity in the game (on a server where you need to supply Shotgun Shells for 4 trigger-happy players as I do).
