Thread: Looting rights for poisoning to death NPCs not working, (just making sure this is out there)

When you poison an enemy and only the poison kills (you don't attack by any other means), you do not get permission to loot the corpse. To get looting rights you have to inflict some other kind of damage (like hitting or blasting the enemy). Being a Combat Medic, Doctor, I have no such other skills to effectively use against an enemy to retain looting rights (my best bet is always to run around trees and the like until they die). Just making sure this problem is known.

it requires 0 skill points to equip and fire a cdef pistol, rifle, or carbine ( or any other weapon).


and you only have to do 1 point of damage to any bar.

oh and this also happens if you use weapon dots on targets. with my carbine i can easily kill an even opponent just using action shot 1and 2 then running. however if i dont let the gun fire a 3rd time for an actual damage shotthe dots kill it and i get no exp/loot. so its not just a combat medic issue.


theres also an easy fix for this. just make the initial landing do 1 point of damage and prestoproblem goes away.

oh and one last thing this is a great way to power exp people. as both carbine dots + action poison and disease take stuff down pretty quickly. and if they hit it once they get all the exp.


single target poison then action shot 1 ( knockdown + bleed)then single target disease. then run while your friend shoots it. only requires carbine specialist from marksman.
