You also get to double loot the "end room" POI containers because you went through it two times which is both useful and cheesier than a bottle of Cheeze Whiz since those are usually among the best loot crates in the entire POI if they are not the absolute best. The second trip through is easier since you now know where 95% of the hidden loot, good loot, and zombies will be so it's less risk and almost no surprises unless there are a couple extra zed spawns and the zeds don't end up in the exact same locations both times. You're already at the POI so you don't have to go to another location to scavenge and loot. You might not think so but it's cheesier than an Ed Wood movie marathon and I can't imagine how can you possibly think it's not useful. There is zero shortage of POIs to loot (SP rwg anyway,) and I like doing trader jobs, so if I'm going to clear a poi twice I'd rather get 2 rewards for it. I'm completely neutral on double dipping. I don't really think it's cheesy, or useful. I don't know about MP servers, I only play single player. Originally posted by ⚜ JOST AMMAN ⚜:I meant, that the devs haven't put in the game a mechanic specifically to stop the player using this "trick". There was a more post-apocalyptic feel to the game, a more survival/scavenging vibe, and sadly it's mostly gone now. intended) settings you used to have to scavenge a lot more than you do now, and it was harder to find good loot. I guess if you turn loot to 25%, turn off loot respawn, and turn off air drops then traders and re-setting POIs with missions become a lot more important than it is normally. If they didn't want players to do it they would not have coded the system this way or they would have added another system to prevent it from happening. Why did JOST say allowed? Well, the developers designed and implemented the current POI re-set system and haven't put any other systems in place to prevent a player from double looting a mission POI. This is why many players consider it cheesy. all come back so you can dismantle them every time you re-set the POI meaning you have unlimited resources to work with. Everything in the POI re-sets, not just the loot containers, so that means anything you dismantle, like sinks, fridges, lights, beds, computers, pipes, couches, chairs, etc. Loot the building then start the quest and loot everything again. From reading the forums I do know some players choose not to do it because it makes it a bit too easy to obtain a lot of good loot from the cache at the end of each POI.īy default all loot containers will respawn loot after 7 days (by default - so it's what the developer intends as the normal gameplay experience) so you can also pick up a lot of general loot from the rest of the containers in the POI by double looting if you haven't visited that POI more than once in the last week, or if it's your first time at that location. I'm sure some people might decide to ban double looting mission POIs it on some private servers but I would guess that not very many players would ban it. what do you mean by "allowed"? would a server full of people consider banning this strategy or something? Originally posted by ⚜ JOST AMMAN ⚜:As for the "double tip" on POIs, that's "allowed" but considered cheesy. and the cash plus item rewards are more than enough reward. The XP comes from going to the POI and fighting zeds, scavenging, etc. There should be zero XP gain for completing missions. Traders offer too much in the way of rewards and they always offer certain items once you complete a certain number of missions - such as the guaranteed bicycle which makes it basically pointless to try to make one. Double looting may be considered by some to be "cheesy" but the developers have not taken any steps to prevent players from doing it, such as not completely re-setting the POI when we trigger quests. You can somewhat mitigate this by dropping the loot percentage to 25 or 50 percent, or you can choose to use traders sparingly, but keep in mind that on standard loot settings this abundance of loot and the ability to re-set a POI and double loot it is clearly what the developers intend as the normal gameplay experience. The other issue with this is that the loot at the end of most POIs is too good and in tier 3+ there's too much of it. Yes, you can double loot any POI re-sets with missions and it's not just loot from containers that's doubled because you can scavenge every single thing inside and it all comes back when you hit that yellow exclamation point to start the mission. You can buy almost anything you need from them even though there is some RNG involved in determining their supplies and you can run missions over and over to gain xp and dukes very easily. Even without the perks that boost traders I think that traders are currently better than they should be.
