>>521402342>It does feel a little harder to get a full plate set compared to beforein what way and at what point in the game? Just fewer bandits with real gear pre trotsky or did they downtune loot across the board?
In the launch version I've put about 40 hours into map1 to see how kitted you could get Henry before nebakov and the move to kutenburg.
>a lot of gear actually and at tier3 wagon loot and the rare bandit or solo mercenary camp spawns are the source of all of it. And interestingly after getting access to trotsky but not immediately going to nebakov the spawn rate and gear of the roadside camping bandits goes up.
2 different types of milanese brig, houdskull, saxon bascinet, simple brigs, riders breastplates (both colors), dark kastenbruch breastplates, dark kutenburg breastplate, magdenburg leg armor, the dark simple plate arms, and millanese or tourney gauntlets are the maximum that seem to spawn. one thing missing is arm armor, simple plate arms are the best and 95% of bandits have the brig arms with roundels. The white ones I found as cart chest loot alongside a noble belt, neither spawning anywhere else.
It speaks to them trying to do something neat that right before nebakov there are more bandits physically on the map. No one ever sees that and that seems to be the missing link of gear progression between map 1 and map 2. Like there should have been intermediate quests here to show there is a "change" and buildup to something big.
If they fucked this all up with a gear drop nerf that actually really sucks.
