It is like every time I mention this issue, people will usually use their past knowledge to quickly doubt this. Because they all believe the JSON should be working like it suppose to. However, I don’t think it is the case this time, they can be causing issues with new update, for example the stacking issue during 1.19.

I do think the json spawned in items are affecting with CLE even without being interacted with. I have tested it for ours by using contaminated zone loots. When we have M4, VSD, AUG, AKM in our json shed, we could not find them in the toxic zones, we have 2 players checking both zones at the same time. As soon as the json shed got removed, we can start finding these guns. I even test it on a LAN server for hours. So dig a little deeper please.
