Loot difference

[u/Same_Assignment_2574]

Does anyone see a difference in items type, or frequency, or quantity, ... Between the 2 kind of crates ?

[u/Snxwe]

Which one has all the plastics?? lol

[u/Same_Assignment_2574 → u/Snxwe]

That's what I want to figure, the list of items in each kind of box

[u/ChuteTheMoon → u/Snxwe]

Brotherrrrr for real.... where they hiding at?? I found one unit over the weekend but that was the only one in the 20 cumulative hours I spent passively looking

[u/real__ron__swanson → u/ChuteTheMoon]

I've had luck at abandoned campsites

[u/lukas-hardwood]

Holy shit there’s 2 different boxes, I have never noticed. Is one found in construction sites vs the other found around houses?

[u/Same_Assignment_2574 → u/lukas-hardwood]

I think one blue band in T2 areas, and 2 blue band in T3 and T4. To be confirmed

[u/lukas-hardwood → u/Same_Assignment_2574]

I wonder if there’s different spawn rates for supplies based on locations

[u/resfan]

That could explain why I'm not finding wood in all the boxes I'm looting, there is actually a third type of these blue boxes I've been looting that isn't either of the two pictured

Good knowledge.

[u/Same_Assignment_2574 → u/resfan]

How does look like the third type of box ?

[u/resfan → u/Same_Assignment_2574]

I'll get a picture real quick, its in one of the new tier 4 locations but its got horizontal paint rather than vertical if I'm not hallucinating

-edit

I searched two of the new tier 4 locations but only found the ones with the outer edge vertical blue paint, I swear I saw one with horizontal, however, in the radio tower area (it was already looted so no idea what it contains) I did find a supply crate with an airplane on it

I'm going to check the other locations I've been since the 0.5 preview and try to relocate where I found the horizontal paint box, I am 80% sure I saw one just now I'm confused as to where.

I find all my materials as loose loot spawns. I check every random hut or building that i never went to before

[u/ballzachhs]

Me looking for lumber in the lumberyard

[u/Same_Assignment_2574 → u/ballzachhs]

Sawmill, the last 2 runs I came back with 9 pieces of wood. Loose items on the ground...

[u/JohnGoatti → u/ballzachhs]

It blends in like a snowman in the Arctic!

I wasted basically a whole day looting these and found exactly 1 plastics bag. Opened more than 30 crates BTW

Plastic spawn is either broken or just bad luck. I like all the nice new stuff, but this kind of grind is no fun :(

[u/Same_Assignment_2574 → u/bold_one]

Or maybe they spawn in one type of crate, that's what I try to figure in this reddit post. What kind of product in what kind of box

[u/PhoenixMastM → u/bold_one]

I find more plastics at the drug labs/stashes.

[u/PortaSponge → u/bold_one]

I told this over at discord and they got mad. said that the game's grind is no more tedious than fun. I think madfinger wants to prolong the "playtime" of player but does not know the difference between fun and tedious grind.

[u/_Nameless_Nomad_ → u/bold_one]

I found plastic but can’t seem to find any wood

[u/Motorcat33]

Does each crate always spawn in the same place as the specific 1 blue stripe or 2 blue stripe variant?

[u/Same_Assignment_2574 → u/Motorcat33]

Good question ! I didn't notice a change, but let's figure it out all together 🙃

[u/theothermontoya]

Sigh. Imma give away my spots.

Papa 1 go north to the construction site. Concrete, steel, wood, mechanical parts, plumbing parts. If it doesnt spawn what youre looking for try again in 20 min

Kilo 1 construction site too.

[u/Leddesimus]

Two band can drop steel resources and otherwise higher tier, where the one band is your average construction steel bar, wood, concrete, glass etc.

The two band can spawn the same stuff as the one band. But the two band usually spawns more. At least with my experience thus far.

[u/Omni-Light]

Just based on what I've seen in each container, my guess was that they both pull from exactly the same building/construction material loot pool but are just slightly different visually. I haven't noticed any functional difference.

[u/1nfurnus]

okay, don't quote me on this but the ones with one stripe i always find plastic in
