Better loot

[xdesperado]

While I enjoy the game a lot I think combat and the decision to loot the bodies of your victims could be improved.
If I run into a group of AzTek guards let me take their armor and weapons to sell instead of just an occasional file or med kit and some pistol ammo.
Also make the loot more fitting to the opponents faced. If I just gunned down half a dozen hunds why do I find 3 clips of pistol ammo? What are dogs doing with a secure data file?

Currently there is little motivation to loot opponents and personally my characters try hard to avoid or escape fights at all costs as the reward for such is heavily outweighed by bad rep and heavy heat.

With the possibility of much better loot I would be much more inclined to create a character geared towards actually hunting down Corps security or gangers as an alternative to just running contracts all the time.

We are holding off building and re-building the looting system pending the introduction of components and gear upgrades.

We won't be adding wholesale "loot 6 pistols" type looting, but the loot catalogs are already based on number and type of enemies defeated. They just aren't very variable or exciting.

When you can snag pieces of armor kit, nano tech, weapon upgrades, ammo, chips, pay data, etc then looting will be more fun.

That stuff will have to wait just a little while longer.

After you get done filling your enemies with holes, why would you want their armor anyway. Taking the time to do a major search of the bodies and take off armor and weapons would give time for backup to come and start shooting at you. Do not get me wrong, I have also wished to be able to loot armor and weapons and hope that feature comes soon, but you must be careful what you ask the Trese brothers for, their tricksy with the precious!

You can pull out ammo, meds and data disks, but can't grab the gun out of their dead hand?

It does sound weird that you can grab all that but not a gun. I have faith in the brothers that the future of the game will include better looting of the fallen foes that foolishly tried to frak us

ntsheep - have faith that we will update CK until you are happy with looting. But faith requires patience

[ntsheep]

Of course I have both faith and great patience with you all. These games are great and the only regret I have right now is that I was not able to help with the funding for the new Hero's game. Sadly I am stuck between jobs at the moment.

ntsheep - we understand. A good share on your Facebook or G+ wall is worth more than a few bucks! Especially with so few hours to go!
