XBOX - No loot 60-70% of the time when looting machines

I took this photo. On the right hand side where the loot should be the loot box is completely blank this happens time and time again. I wonder if I should delete then reload the game again?

Thank you for responding.

I knew this would happen. I’ve just killed my first Reaper and NO loot!!! Nothing!!!

What a complete waste of time.

Something I forgot to mention - this is happening in the Farmlands region. Because I was trying to get my first Reaper I spent virtually all my time there. I did spend 45 mins over in the Island Himfjall and it didn’t seem to be happening there.

Further to the above I only just purchased the American and Russian weapon packs. I don’t know if this has effected the game since I downloaded both weapon packs.

That’s very strange. The larger Machines should always drop some form of loot, their loot tables are not supposed to be completely empty. That goes especially for the Reaper. I am going to adjust the title a bit to & move this to #bug-reports, see if we can straighten this out.

Thank you for looking into this matter.

What I’m going to do today is deleting and re downloading the game without the US & Russian weapon packs and see how I get on. Also going to try more areas to see if they’ve been effected like the Farmlands have for me.

I don’t know if this if any good to the team that looks into these things but my Xbox User tag is Knotty Problem - appropriate here methinks.

I’d also try a random multiplayer lobby to see if that changes the drop.

Hey @Knotty :wave:

Let’s see if we can figure this out…

Have you completely closed down the game between play sessions? Or have you left it running in the background and resuming it? IF you haven’t been closing the game down (quitting the application) between play sessions, please try that out and let us know if loot starts appearing!

If the above doesn’t help, what AliasDJA mentioned would definitely be interesting to test too;

Since you are getting this with all machines I am unsure if this is a case of the issue below, but I think it’s worth mentioning that we have a confirmed loot issue with some machines on the live game (See posts below for more detailed info).

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for reporting! :pray:

Are all those bugs mentionned here limited to the console versions?

Those two loot issues with Runners and Seekers are present on all platforms.

Hi Thank you all for having a look at this. I’m on XSX and I don’t close the game down when I finish playing. I either just switch off the Xbox, or just move over and start playing a different game (loads downloaded on my Xbox).

What I’ve now done is delete the game and reinstalled without the US & Soviet weapons pack and it seems to be working for okay so far. I’ll give it a full day and then I’ll install one weapons pack at a time give that 24hrs and then reinstall the last weapons pack and hopefully it’ll stay all good this time.
:+1:

So… We can expect the patch next year, right? (Not this year.)

Thanks for the quick reply earlier! :grinning:

Right I’ve managed to get and destroy another Reaper - this time I did get rewards. However, as mentioned by others, 50-60% of runners have no loot.
I’ve just downloaded the Soviet weapons pack and I’ll see how that works out now.

Weird…

I started playing this week, on Steam, and containers and downed enemies (I think they were all Runners) had a lot of loot. I’m playing on Skirmish, alone, connected to the Apex-network-thingy.

EDIT: I should also mention that I only own the two story-related DLCs. I don’t own the other ones which are cosmetics and weapons if I understood correctly.

Hi everyone. Unfortunately I have to report that I’m getting the same problems again. No loot from Runners, Hunters and now a Tank - all in the Farmlands region ( my favourite area).
I have all the DLCs and the weapon packs, but only have the US pack downloaded as it appeared with the Soviet weapon pack after a couple of days I would start to not receive loot from destroyed machines, so I ended up deleting the Soviet pack. However, the no loot problem has just started to return.
I’m play on line, but my game is set to invite only.

Hello. I’m reporting that loot creates from Runners, Hunters and Tanks are empty - all in the Farmlands region. It’s very frustrating because i love this game. Any advice as to why & how to fix it?

Hi @Bilko

Looking earlier in the thread, are you planning single or multiplayer, or both? Are you running the game vanilla or do you have any dlc/all dlc? Are all dlc instead or have you uninstalled any of them? And which Xbox are you using?

All info you can provide will help the devs understand the problem better!

That said, feel your pain! Farmland is one of my favorite areas in the game…

Single player only, Xbox one. Vanilla? dlc? Sorry not up on the lingo. I haven’t uninstalled anything. Playing from Disc & have installed both Russian & US weapons pack recently. I can’t remember when this started, not that long ago and today has been really bad, most machines have had empty loot cages.

My bad!
“Vanilla” would mean “base game”, from disc or store, and dlc (downloadable content) would be like “Felix rising”, US weapon pack and so on.

Is it “only” farmland that is affected?

Ok lol, yes disc & dlc, Felix Rising & both recent weapon packs. I’ve only noticed it in Farmland, but will check the other zones & get back to you.

Okay!

I have the same problem!

I discovered it today, and I can agree that it is 2:3 ratio of the machines killed that are empty when trying to loot them. It is as stated above in the northern parts of the farmland and the marshlands, in the parts revamped in the landfall update.

Played in the same area a few days ago and everything was ok. Returned today to finish off some rivals and the problem is present.

Playing on Xbox series X, GZ v2222273

Ok had to stop my game for the moment and reply as its frustrating me to no end atm. I recently spent some time in the South Coast Region, didn’t really have any issues there. Back to playing Farmland region today & boom, most of the machines I’ve destroyed have empty loot crates. I also visited the Forrest Region near the border of Farmlands and the same thing happened, empty loot crates…
