In this Star Citizen gameplay video, we take a look at the new looting system in 3.24 PTU to see if we can still loot NPCs. With the new changes, there are a lot of questions. For example, can I still loot NPCs easily and store their armor in a box? Well, I wanted to find out for myself, so in this video, I explore exactly that.

just put all the armor you have on in the box down to underware the just click on the undersuit of the dead guy and it will instantly put his armor on you then rinse and repeat
Several thoughts: 1 - It is much quicker to put your armor into the box, then swap armor from bodies to you, and repeat. 2 - I really want to see boxes have "hard points" where you can put things inside by tractor beaming an item to the right spot, like attaching a weapon to a ship. Bodies have these points in 3.23, but they don't work... 3 - 2 SCU boxes are much better than 1 SCUs =) I was concerned with how this would work, so thanks for sharing!
I was able to attach a rifle to a dead body's hardpoint in 3.23, so that system _might_ work... from time to time 🙂
@Jan_Strzelecki Interesting, every time I tried that, the item just disappeared, but hopefully, it means this is the design intent.
@@havocnchaos Did it disappear, or did it go into their inventory? I've noticed that some NPCs have two rifles in their inventory - one that they used to carry and is lying next to them, and... a spare? 🙂
@Jan_Strzelecki No, at least when I did it, it definitely did not go to their inventory. I have, however, used the new looting UI to equip bodies with multiple guns in situations where I didn't bring a box =)
The sleeveless Ninetails vest is worth over 2K credits, which is more than most of the guns are worth. And you can store several in a large backpack.
Edit: also one of the jackets is worth the same, tho I can't remember which, so 2 of them are worth and 1 is trash
I'll remember this next time Thank you 🙏
The new loot screen should detect "containers" (boxes, armors, closets, etc) near us, and allow us to select between them, so we can move stuff between them.
This is classic CIG, 1 step forward, 3 steps to the side. Dev make new feature... comes incomplete, or not very well thought of, and now we need to jump through hoops to just do the most basic thing since modern gaming was invented 25 years ago.
Literally looting bunkers is identical to before. Nothing has changed. You still open the inventory, drop the items, and add them to the box. Not sure why people are freaking out about the exact same looting mechanics we have now in 3.23?
@@Billy-bc8pk Because before was bad too. And before 3.23, we only had one UI to fight with, now we have 2... for the same purpose!!! Why do I need to drop every piece of armor and item into the floor first, select the box, and then drag them into the box... why can't I do that in one single UI, in one or 2 clicks.... literally every other game with looting or equiping mechanics does this... since the 2000s!
@@DavidLimaGoncalves No they do not, because no other game has physicalised items with physicalised cargo boxes like Star Citizen. Your inventory and looting is only done directly between your avatr and the items on the ground.
@@Billy-bc8pk That's irrelevant. Your goal is to move an item that is NOT physicalised and inside a UI menu to another UI menu (literally... every game with looting mechanics does) .
We don't need the physicalised part for this... we don't need to move it from the UI, into the ground, into the UI again... it's an extra step completely unnecessary, and extremely annoying when dealing with dozens of items.
The only time we need the physicalised part is when we want to actually put an item in the world.
@@DavidLimaGoncalvesdont even waste your time arguing with the dude.
This might be a hot take, but I think a faster way might be load the Corsair with the corpses, and then strip and store the gear in the boxes on your ship when you're out of the area.
Could be, then you just need to attach the weapons to the bodies first, which can be done with the tractor beam.
I usually just put all the bodies in the elevator, then put them in the ship
Floating inventory windows that could be re-sized, re-located and altered from icon view to line item names would be an improvement. Then opening multiple inventory windows to drag and drop between panes. Almost like common windowing interfaces we use on PC's already.
That would be amazing
It's nice to see boxes that are usable. Boxes on PU are very buggy, requiring annoying workarounds to put things in or out.
Oh yeah.
On the bright side, since currently boxes have troubles retaining visible content when switching between the quick loot UI and the normal inventory screen, it's possible to load them with an infinite amount of items 😁
Awesome video dude - there are many ways to go about it, but I truly wonder what the intended experience is and how CIG want this to work one day...
Thank you, hopefully they figure something out that's a better experience but for now it will have to do. Just need to make the game and stop over engineering things.
this is literally how i looted bunker before, did it in 3.22 as well nothing has changed except that its easier to sell them now.
I've noticed that when I use this method, I lose weapons. I think there's a limit to the number of loot items that can be on the floor. I've noticed several times that weapons on the floor will start to disappear if I loot armor pieces before securing all the weapons in a ship or container. Weapons on the floor definitely start disappearing, I'm just not 100% certain of the cause yet. Weapons are generally worth more UEC than armor, so if I'm running out of floor space I'd rather figure out how to prioritize keeping all the weapons I can.
You read my mind, I was going to do this exact same thing with my cutty red and some 2 and 4 SCU boxes. My only concern is getting the 4 SCU box between the doors at the entrance to the bunker. Thanks for doing this I appreciate it!
Glad it was helpful
always bring a 2SCU box holds all you need. :)
I always come away learning something, we all seem to be floundering a little with this patch, yet your content is always worth the watch, unlike some of the lazy, click bait merchants that read verbatim from CIG'S posts. Kudos
Glad you enjoy my content. I try to teach while doing some gameplay at the same time. It's what I find the most fun to create. Thank you for the kind words 🙏
@@TheCoreGameplay The Freight elevator tips help greatly, its not always intuitive, yet i suppose that's CIG's mindset. Kudos
here's an idea: box detector algorithm that automatically shows you the contents of any box within 1 meter when you're in the looting screen.
Love this content right here, short, concise and to the point. Hope CIG does something to make looting more streamlined going forward, right now at this moment in time, they may as well take the loot crates out of the game unless they're expecting everyone to be carrying a 1 SCU box around with them at all times.
gunna be cool to see everyone with a huge amount of stuff in hangers :D haha, nice vid.. i always use to tractor these muppets outside and haul them off.. its nice to know the box thing is working !!
cheers for the vid

Thanks for this. Just as I thought this will be a pain. We should be able to open the box inventory and then just drag the amor off the body into the box.
We’ll open mind and we shall see
the practical loot goblin way.
Clear bunker
tractor beam guns to bodies you plan to goblin out of the bunker.
drag all bodies to the lift hall and place between barriers.
check floor for boxes (should be at around 20m before tresspass but can skill this step)
stand on lift
Pull drag all bodies toward you (stand center of lift) and place them off to your left side by the lift opperation terminal.
Activate terminal when all bodies are on the lift platform and ride the lift to the top.
throw the bodies out of the bunker doors in to the back of your
fly to hanger
place cargo box next to bodies open loot box remove YOUR clothing
then interact with every corps and "Drag" their undersute to your body
access the storage box remove clothing in to box again.
repete this on all bodies then open loot bodies again make sure you remove any lose GUNS from the Old window (open container not loot)
it takes longer because you can't just drag the armor OFF the body to the ships internal or a stations local storage anymore.
Maybe also having a way to RECYCLE bodies for a currency system possbly make it so corpses can be exchanged for Clone gel and clone gel has to be bought at market rates or harvested from unused bodies (because everyones an android quanta)
i tried make a video about loot goblin but i suck at explaining
Usefull video, I learned something today, thanks 👍🏻
It is not necessary, I'll make it easier for you, keep your Suit in the box and stay completely naked, then go to the body you want to loot and put on the suit in question, when you do this, automatically all the Loot of the character in question, you will be wearing it. Repeat the action, Until you finish looting everything
I tractor the corpses to the elevator and then toss them (literally) into the back of my Cutty. I then fly directly up to a safe distance and strip them for loot. I then toss them out the back of my ship to decorate the bunker's entrance. It's a bit dark but it make the tedious process of looting a bit more interesting.
I feel like I've seen your work before 😂😂
@@jonathanmays9324 I would hope so. What's the point of decorating if no one gets to enjoy it?
Oh I'm definitely going to be looking out for your work now🤣
As all the armour is linked to the undersuit, if you drop the undersuit from a body it drops all items attached to it.
I tried that but doesn't work anymore. You need to do the undersuit last
If we could store all the bodys in a box lol, that would be easier. You could unequip everything off them inside the box. How many bodys can an 32 SCU box hold? All of them...
Thanks for the great tips, liked and subbed
Thank you, welcome to the sub club 😁
I might have been doing it wrong earlier patches as that’s how I used to fill boxes.
so they just added an extra step for looting... Soon all the players will have death stranding boxes on their backs.
Would love to have a spot(s) on the boxes that you could use a track beam items into it.
I honestly only ever look maybe 1-2 armors then the rest is guns
Thanks for the video!
great video! simple, concise, effective and pleasant to watch :)
Thank you
Great to see SC is getting to a point where if you have a life, you won't have time to play. Greattttt
Oh nice - it looks like CIG has fixed the quickloot system not properly switching to standard inventory, and the trespassing timer, too.
Have you tried doing Orison missions? Do you know if they've been fixed too?
I haven't tried them yet. I'll see if I can give them a go. It's something I haven't experienced yet since I got back into Star Citizen but want to
While this is good for bunkers, this doesn't work (at least for me) at locations like mining outposts, I can't get the box inside the buildings, so you end up carrying out each piece one at a time.... a real pain
Can you load your ship with the bodies, fly to an outpost and strip the gear off at the freight elevator, then cross load into your boxes. The distro HRT merc missions would be easier, the distro center has a bunch of cargo elevators.
Might have to check it out soon, thank you
I though by having the box next to the bodies you could just open the box inventory and drag the armor directly from the bodies.
You could also just drop your stuff in another box and then naked go to loot the bodies drag just the undersuit (that should transfer everything to your char) and then put the stuff on the box
That's a great way to do it. I just don't want to be caught naked when a player shows up😆 pp out and all with a weird body hmmm🤣
@@TheCoreGameplay for sure, we need better ways
I used to do this in 3.22 however in 3.23 I’ve had the Infinite Container Bug which the “workaround” hasn’t worked either, so I’m hoping this comes back to the PU as a working feature.
Keep in mind though that selling all items at the Cargo Center will provide less profit by a large amount at times than selling individually, as this is also something I’ve been doing since 3.22
So far the containers hasn't bugged out on the ptu. Fingers crossed that it stays like this.
I'm super lazy so I just instantly sell but it's probably worth it to put in the extra time and sell it for more.
@@TheCoreGameplay I generally keep the higher selling items for individual sell, and sell bulk of the lower cost stuff, but also really depends how desperate you are for money.
@@EmissionGaming DigThat32 has a very good video on that called: “storage box not working”. I’d recommend you check it out
Yeah, losing 1k on the loop isn't very much ... Well, I'll be doing this now whenever I take bunker missions, it's going to take more time, but the added income will help ... basically making a 20k bunker run into a possible 60k run in exchange for a few extra minutes looting (10 to 15 more minutes).
So now the only way to loot is to carry a box around? So we will be defenseless since we are busy using a tractor beam to get the box to your ship. Easy target for anyone to kill while doing so.
Learned something new! Thank you very much ;)
Happy it was helpful :)
Excellent video, glad you are dispelling some of the other vids out there saying that looting is impossible or that it's not possible anymore.
I don't understand when they said all items are physicalized then why when you loot helmet or legs it turns into a small box instead of being a helmet laying on the ground .. you had there manny small boxes so how do you know which helmet is which ... is this a final stage how they want it to be or some temporary solution because suddenly poping up small boxes instead of arm-armor is really bothering me and definetely it's not immersive quite oposite so wanted to know if this was their vision or it will get better also I find those big boxes doesn't hold that many items is that intentional... ?? small box like the one you had should hold i think way much more loot ...
Boxes are placeholders -- suit lockers are coming soon(TM) for physicalised armour.
@@Billy-bc8pk thank you
The fastest way is once the bunker is clear drop your gear on the floor then every body u come to drag the undersuit into you then to the box that will move everything then once done put your gear back on and off you go 🫡
Can't you still just drag your stuff into the box and then quickly drag the under suit of the body onto yourself which would then loot everything all at once?
Yeah.
U can use size 2 scu boxes for bunkers
I just didn't bring with but a great way to be more efficient
i haven't played in a while and probably won't. the game is currently a mess but THANK YOU for these videos. i am hoping chris comes to his senses and makes a game!
Some armors worth 3 auec?
This new system won't affect me, I only loot what I can carry. The only time I ever brought a body back to my ship was when I found a dead guard in the heavy crusader armour.
also get a 2scu box is easier to work with
Agree definitely more effective
i honestly hate the new interaction system. if it had of just been the prompt change and swapping the inner thought list with the wheel it would be great, but they rewrote the coding entirely and now you can't physically pick up items without a circle jerk of BS.
This was what worries me, looting being ruined with everything needing to be physicalized.
Local inventory was perfect ... sucks they removed it.
So many extra unnecessary steps "for the sake of realism" ... that in the end, just all pile up against the game being a fun experience, they should really allow for some level of "magic" ... make it too tedious and you'll alienate the player base by wasting most of their time.
Wow! what a time sink! 😢
Why not take the bodies to the ship, fly somewhere safe, then loot bodies in safety on ship?
That's a great option for sure. I just wanted to see if we can still look npcs. I think having the box right there without having to move them is just a little bit faster but not safer
@@TheCoreGameplay once I replied I did then consider the time aspect to transit all the corpses and indeed it would take allot longer.....so probably not any better.
I’m just seeing a feature built by a developer who doesn’t play the game.
It's crazy that not a single person in the verse has a wallet on them. Sure, you could strip the clothes off their back, but I would rather take the $20 they have left over from lunch.
🤣 you got a good point or give us a little data chip with their aUEC on
Mobile glass wristband is your wallet you should beable to transfer the funds to your like nfc would be cool but you would need to hack it
Congratulations CIG, you've made the most tedious looting system in an MMO ever! That's a feat and a half. MMOs like SWG figured out lotting in 2003-04.
An ethereal container at a click of a button isn’t fitting for this game. The looting has some mechanical issues but this is just a boneheaded comparison.
@@Crittek Nah, the bone-headed decision is CIG making the gear boxes in bunkers etc. fixed instead of movable. But they never think about interlocking systems as a whole.
People who play MMOs want looting to be intuitive and easy to navigate. This system is clunky, cumbersome, and will downright drive casual players away and if you think this game will make it financially without the masses of casual gamers playing it, I want what your smoking.
Clunky, clunky, and clunky... CIG just does'nt get it. Why do a thing in 1 step when you can make it take 4 steps. Good on you for showing this craziness of "forced realism"
Is there still local storage at thise big sites? The sites with an east & west enterance and ship hanger?
There isn't a local inventory anymore in 3.24.
Gone are the days of being able to leave a weapon or armor stash on a planet
They are getting away from the magic bag of holding. Its a real lfe sim.
I don't mind it at all. I think it's a good thing
Sure, but the UI could still be less awful lol.
Why can’t we drag from bodies to nearby container? You know, like you would in real life? Real people would just be tossing what they looted in the box like Kobe.
doesn't work in armistice zone
SC becoming more and more time consuming every new patch... I'll have to leave my job at some point to play this game.
The thing is: We HAVE to buy boxes, we can't craft it, yet. We buy it, we put in our ship, go to the location, put the box inside the location, kill everyone, loot the armors and weapons just to be unable to put in the box due to a bug that marks the capacity of the box with an infinite (8) symbol that CIG is too incompetent to fix.
Result: You lost 3 hours of your life for nothing and enter in a state of fury, breaking everything in your room and stop playing SC for a year.
Is that the goal of CIG? Creating those stupid unnecessary things to annoy us and waste our time?
Sorry, but I have better and fun games to play instead of this crap.
i have seen a lot of crap in games.
a lot of very disgusting behaviour just ruining games for profits.
SC and CIG are very different in that regard.
it's just plain incompetence.
Loot citizen
This has to be the most stupid mechanic ive ever seen in any video game.
this looks so tedious
All around waste of time.
I see alot of whining on channels about the new looting, the game HAS always been moving in this direction. CiG doesn't want you to be able to pick up every scrap you find UNLESS your willing to put in the time. Your looting looks pretty good you have a fair understanding of what's important to you to take and what to leave. Me, I'm a pack rat. The new system slows me down a bit, but I still manage to take nearly everything. Like you I normally leave the dudes without armor but I take the handguns
💯
I love the new system. I hated that people could just hide their loot in magic inventories
If nothing else the new system slows the economy down which is a good thing I think
This is a gratifying illustration of why the current patch sucks, and all the CIG talk of loot perks is hollow. I want the physicalized universe. They should have worked out more of the kinks before putting out this patch. Same with Master Modes.
Nah. It's fine. Just make the game unbearable to play.
This is the dumbest system, unnecessary time sink.
The game has always been headed in this direction. Every single item will eventually be stored and have to be interacted with, no magic bags of holding. I like it, but it can be more refined, I'm sure, to make it a bit faster, hopefully.
Thats boring @@MrBucky769
@@MrBucky769 That's fine but I think it's an unnecessary time sink it's not like CIG has never changed direction.
CIG have lost the plot. This looks awful
It's the same as it's always been no?
