    Love these changes. It feels great pulling intact miniguns and fistfuls of ammo out of drones.

    1. Minigun Zirax tend to drop a lot of rifle ammo, and by a lot I mean 300+. Happened several times in a Drone Base on Omicron moon. Went in with 60 cartridges, emerged with 1000+.
    2. Enemies still drop pistol ammo despite the fact they do not use pistols.

    All Pistol Ammo was removed from the drops - are you running an old savegame?

    Yes, it is a lasting playthrough since the end of december, just when the solar panels came to stable. Should I start anew?

    Is it possible to allow for, to place specific loot in multiple POI containers, not just one?

    Combat mechanoids drop pistol ammo here and there. Fresh 7.6 start. Or were you just referring to Zirax drops?

    gday devs

    Signed up to the forums just to say that the new poi loot in god awful. I play exclusively multiplayer, and raiding Poi's was a good way to get some rare materials and items, eg repair bays, or an arty turret from a loot container to help with blue prints. Now, i get as much loot from raiding 8 poi's as i do raiding 1 old pre Nerf. Raiding Poi's actually had a reason, there was risk and reward, now i have absolutely no reason to raid them. Changes to the loot table for the ai npc's are great, but i really am bummed about the poi's.
