Footlockers

<< < (4/7) > >>

Trokanis:
Still back to the same issue, needing another alt to do a redundant mundane task to maybe get a chance to get an item for another alt to use maybe. 

Marko:
If people find that many BPs with Luck 1, then i say Luck doesn't matter.

Someone asked me this in PM:
1. How many times should I try to open the footlocker before I give up?
2. Can a footlocker spawn behind a wall, so that I can see it only when I'm close to the wall? (I've seen like 80 footlockers and all of them were clearly visible)

How many times you try is totally up to you. I have opened lockers on the 3rd try for sure, so with Lockpick 300 i try to have patience and try 4 times. One guy said he stayed with a locker for 5 hours and never opened it though, so it sucks that we don't know the full story on the math involved - some people are wasting a lot of time on this.

As for hidden lockers behind walls where view is blocked: i have never found any but i have rarely looked. I cruise an area finding encounters. I often use my Luck 10 big guns fighter for this. I keep F4 toggled off to minimize the interface panel so i can see more. When i find an encounter, i get ready on the Z-key to zoom out when i appear on the grid. The moment i appear in an encounter, i am doing these things as fast as i can, all simultaneously:

1) running toward an exit
2) while i run, i am zooming out to see more of the whole map
3) rapidly scan whole grid for lockers
4) assessing the threat level of whatever populates that encounter

You should know if a locker is there by the time your guy gets to the exit. If i spot a locker, i decide quickly if i can "handle" the NPCs there and either exit, or fight. If i fight and win, i call in my lockpicker guy (all chars have radios) and he opens lockers. If it's trapped, i call in my tumbler, my doctor and my traps specialist. So i'll often have 4 chars standing near a locker plus friends on a good day. This process gets easier with practice.

smegheadcro:
i looked behind the walls 15-20 times and nothing do I stopped

RavenousRat:
There are possible hidden from view lockers, behind wall: North-East of small urban map with destroyed buildings and cross road and inside building: West of map with 2 or 3 buildings, west building with upstairs to 2nd floor.

Edit: Also I can remember behind roof, South of map, destroyed building, but with roof, that covers locker, can't remember the map itself.

- less lockers in encounters

Never been that bad before.
