Looting Cabinets in West Wood Remake
The remake new floor is furniture - not carpet.
Loot routes should be house clusters, not a grand tour. Hit kitchens and side rooms, then leave. The remake puts supplies inside furniture, which is also where Jerry looks when suspicion spikes.
What to Pick Up on Purpose
- Store and warehouse keys
- Canned corn for contracts
- Beartraps for night rooms
- Flashlights and headlamps - use sparingly
- Pizza and coffee for night survival
- Flamethrower fuel if you have the tool
Night Looting is a Last Resort
One person searches while another watches the yard. No eating during cabinet animation. If a door is locked, bash it instead of screaming in chat.
Cabinets are the Remake New Floor
If you are still picking the carpet, you are playing the original inside a remake map. Budget daylight for cabinet animations.
Looting Without Dying
- One light maximum - headlamp off unless you are the dedicated searcher
- No eating during animation - eating sound attracts Jerry
- Cabinet over floor - the remake changed where loot spawns
- Leave when full - weight limits mean full inventory is slow inventory
- Dump duplicates at a landmark table
