Towermice Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It doesn't show mats like rubedo or alloy plates. Is this intentional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zh40 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It's supposed to show locations of breakable boxes, barrels, and containers which all contain loot such as rubedo and alloy plate. It is entirely intentional. Your teammates should notify you of materials with the objective feature (default "G" key.) Yay teamwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RespawningJesus Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 To be honest, loot radar is pretty useless. It does give you a heads up of what is around. But, if you explore the map, you don't really need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asbyn Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) To be honest, loot radar is pretty useless. It does give you a heads up of what is around. But, if you explore the map, you don't really need it. True, but it certainly saves me from having to explore said map so thoroughly, thus also saving me time with which to run more sessions.

RespawningJesus Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Touche. But if you play with friends, then you have enough man-power to explore a map with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY13ERPUNK Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 yes currently loot radar ONLY shows breakable crates and the dead grineer bodies that you can loot for ammo/credits I would LOVE to see loot radar get a massive upgrade and show ALL dropped loots and be color coded ammo credits materials mods life energy explosive barrels (cant be red since enemies are already red with ENEMY RADAR artifact [sidenote: would be badass if enemy radar has different colors/symbols for different enemy factions/types]) so that's 7 different colors/symbols needed just for loot yes that's a lot of work to change, but IT WOULD MAKE LOOT RADAR MUCH MORE VALUABLE AS A MOD, whereas right now it is a negligible convience at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direcyphre Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Showing more than it does might get a little crowded, especially when it comes to ammo drops. Thing is, even if you added a bunch more objects to indicate, it still wouldn't be that useful because containers are all predictable, and what drops from containers and enemies you see for yourself when they die. The only convenience I saw was being able to tell if there were containers in the side rooms at a glance instead of walking all the way into it.

Zakalwe Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Loot radar is invaluable to me when famring for mats. It saves a lot of time searching for crates, where I find the majority of components. IMO, though, it should show dropped mats and mods. It wouldn't get too crowded showing those as you'd pick them up before it became an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
