Additional Information

Who the hell thought this was a good idea? This isn't base raiding, this is dickheads going around griefing. Bases were fine before. There is absolutely no need for this item to exist in this game.

The landmines were enough when players hoard them and put them on spawn points using iZurvive.

Event Timeline

I agree these new items are way to common... I think the Claymore and Plastic Explosive should be heli crash loot.

Detonators/remotes should stay military zone loot not heli crash

I've found 5 claymores at Tisy Military, way to common

I find them all over Livonia and no trains even though the update note said there would be trains in livonia

I don't find THAT many, I think it's fine like it is at the moment.
Also remember that we need to be able to find enough of these explosives in order to be able to raid/destroy bases as grenade damage to doors/walls has been nerved by A LOT. Bases cause huge server performances issues and therefor the amount of bases needs to be reduced to a minimum.

The problem is that bases are getting raided multiple times a day. What's the point in building a base if 6 dudes who are horny for each other but too homophobic to admit it hoard all the grenades and PE and just go around trashing bases? Makes the game unfun.

we also had players report that the same shed always spawns multiple plastic explosives. Wiped our test server and sure enough that same shed is still spawning multiple explosives. We do not have loot turned up (in fact some of it is turned way down) but it seems the world doesn't have enough space to place these industrial tagged items so it constantly chooses the same places.

I've never seen anything like that when I play on vanilla servers.
I tried 'farming' plastic explosives and detonators at the industrial area of Novodmitrovsk and the mine next to Severograd for a while but never found more then one of these items in the same building. I don't know where you look but each time when I loot these areas I mostly find one or max two explosive related items.

There is also this bug where plastic explosives are getting bugged and left unusable when you try to arm them (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T166144). So half of the explosives you find can't even be used.

Go play on Livonia, they're all over Dolnik and other gold tier loot zones
