@hayhor The loot is fine. You just need to find POIs with a good loot supply to start with. When the map was new and unknown I had a terrible time finding loot because I didn't know the map. Now we have our favourite POIs to start at and it's not an issue. Just need to learn where to look/land. But that took time, it was frustrating at first as plenty of times landing at a new point just had NOTHING and you were in trouble early on.

@RockDokRock I've learned the map more too and try to stick with the same PoIs I've had luck with, but the problem here is with rng. I've had situations where a PoI that paid off well one match had absolutely no guns the next, just some sparse ammo and some ordinances, and we found ourselves running for like a dozen buildings trying to scrape together some loot, with many of the open snack bar like roof structures being completely empty.

While other maps also have this issue at times it is way more noticeable here because there is so much dead space with no loot, and you have to walk large distances to go around walls.

With a map like this it needs better rng for the loot. Otherwise, I see no point to learning the PoIs when they are this inconsistent.

I actually like the map... but like hayhor said... the loot is what makes the map not fun to play.

@AymCTL Exactly. I can drop at any POI on WE or KC or SP or Olympus and be fine for loot. Even the small ones. Edistrict is an awesome map, it just needs to fix the loot issue.

  @hayhor I think they had the right idea with Olympus tho. Give us a chance to ride around & explore the map a couple of days. I liked that idea but they never did it again.

    I would like to suggest two more changes to this map.
    firstly, since this is supposed to be a night map, remove the buildings that have no loot and only serve to segment the map. Replace them with open hills or roads that are truly dark so as you traverse those areas it is more difficult for others at distance to see you. This makes open traversing more interesting and safe, it gives recon an additional role of helping spot opponents in the dark, and it help make far more obvious the loot is where the lighted areas are at. This would really make it a night map and a sniper’s paradise.
    second, a vehicle would be nice. With headlights so the driver can see the road or highway in the very dark areas. I don’t care if it’s the trident but maybe a jeep, or something like a halo warthog with a gun on the back. The headlights would help give away the vehicle position. That would be really nice.
    i mean this map has streets all over the place. It has vehicles everywhere. Why can’t we drive any of them?
    we should be able to jack a ride from time to time.
