[PS4] No More Flares as Loot Once You Have 6 or More [v1.03]

Support and Bug Reports
1

Platform: PS4 Slim

Steps To Reproduce: Acquire 6 flares or fireworks and then search for more. Ad infinitum.

Images / Videos: N/A

Host or Client: Solo

Players in your game: 1

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature. At present, once you have 6 or more emergency flares or fireworks (and probably other throwables) in your inventory, you will NEVER find any more as random loot. To exceed this maximum, you have to temporarily drop the ones you have and go find more before picking up your original stockpile.

Still exists post v1.03

Update: I just suffered a hard crash (as in so hard I had to pull the power to reset the console), and when I started back up again, this issue had resolved itself. Iā€™ve got ten fireworks in my inventory and more keep popping up in every toolbox and backpack. :slight_smile:

Update 2: Aaaaand itā€™s either bugged again, or the containers I was looting just happened to contain emergency flares and fireworks - as unlikely as that seems. :frowning:

1ste post was feedback, not a bug. I would think that was obvious :stuck_out_tongue: have you ever had a bug? Because itā€™s pretty clear when itā€™s a bug. Now if the flares where constantly lootable from a chest, thatā€™s a bug. Finding a lot of the same loot. that is never a bug.

Iā€™m not sure you understandā€¦

But Iā€™ll give an example:

  • I have 4 emergency flares in my inventory. (4)
  • I loot a few containers, find another flare, and pick it up. (5)
  • I get into a battle. Donā€™t use any up. (5)
  • I loot a few more containers, find another, pick it up. (6)
  • I loot a thousand more containers and NEVER find another flare. (6)
  • I get into another battle. I use up a flare. (5)
  • I loot a few more containers, find another, pick it up. (6)
  • I loot a thousand more containers and NEVER find another flare. (6)
  • I temporarily drop all my flares on the ground. (0)
  • I go loot a heap of containers until I have 6 flares. (6)
  • I go and pick up my other flares from the ground. (12)
  • I loot a thousand more containers and NEVER find another flare. (12)

Need I go on? Do you understand now that this is probably a bug? After all, even if it was a ā€˜featureā€™, itā€™d probably be max. 5, not 6.

Aaaa now you explained it clearly :slight_smile: Seems they did this so you donā€™t end up with 100 flares in the game when you ā€œloot allā€ all the time. Still doesnā€™t seem like a bug. More a quick fix on there part.
