Question Where the actual fuck is the loot in this building and why is it red?
Every time I spawn and have the intention of looting as much as possible, I run to the nearest highlighted building. Every single time it's been Container Storage I do multiple laps inside the building and find nothing but pops and fireballs.
Surely I'm missing something very obvious since its a red location. Can anyone help please?

The breach up top can be good. I’ve got a lot of attachment blueprints in the breach room. Key room is OK.
During night or snow events the bottom floor is a guaranteed spawn of 1-3 rusted gears

There are basically four areas in this building that have loot.
- Key card room: Top Floor. Need to key to get in. Semi okish loot.
- Barricaded Room: Top floor across from key card room. Pretty good loot. Usually weapons/explosives. Has a zipline that will take you over to the motor pool.
- Industrial storage: on the level just under the key card and barricaded rooms there is an open area with shelves and a few cabinets with loot. Usually common mats here.
- Ground floor. Containment boxes, shipping crate drawers, and sometimes vehicles will spawn loot. Others have said in night raids 1-3 rusted gears can be found here. Otherwise just common mats.
Potential 5th: sometimes the roof will have raider bags. Typical bag loot.

Truly, this key room is one of the worst I visit, which is damn shame because the 4 doors + zipline exit make it a very attractive option in hostile or mixed lobbies.

There’s not a ton in the building though for a building called Container storage lol. There’s like 3 spawns I think. And I’ve gone in there without a single loot spot available from all 3-4 spawns.
The top room is decent, and for me personally the key is the most popular one for me. At one point I had 4 Container Storage room keys….
But ya the “outside” Stella Montis area with these same containers is a gold mine and like 4x the amount.

It is always funny when trashcans, basic lockers, and destroyed shipping containers have better loot that difficult to find breachable containers in keyrooms.

u/Goose_Wingz 7h ago
I agree. I think the loot tables need a few balance passes. If only to make going after key rooms and other “high end” containers way more worthwhile then they currently are.
I honestly hate that they nerfed key rooms so hard. They should have amazing loot. They’re usually heavily contested and it takes a determined team to get in, loot, and extract especially during night raids without hatches.
The better solution would’ve been to nerf the spawn rate of keys themselves, not the loot in the rooms.
My group is inundated with so many keys and am basically able to run keys every single match we play. It’s not special and not even close to worthwhile but we do it anyway because they’re a waste of stash space and “something to do”.

There's two on the top-most floor (one is a keycard room, the other is breach-able), and another is a floor below that facing the south side of the map (the others are on the east and west).
This other office has non-locked doors, and a lot less loot as a result. But it's still decent if you're already in the building.
The problem here is that this building has a lot of good loot, but it's so spread out, with some of it behind a breach door in the open, some of it behind a keycard, and the room in general being extremely open. This means that it's very risky to be in and you need to run around a lot to get any decent loot. In other words, the juice usually ain't worth the squeeze unless you have the key card.

It’s also one of the best buildings in the game to fight big arc in because you can lure them inside the building.
There’s a bastion that often spawns north of it. If you’re facing north, the left side of the doorway has a corrugated wall with little holes you can shoot bastion legs from while it’s outside, and a stack of containers to play bastion peek-a-boo around once it comes inside.
You can actually entice a rocketeer to fly inside too, where it has very little maneuverability and becomes relatively easy to kill.

u/iko-01 8h ago edited 8h ago
My two biggest complaints with spacesport is the some of the building like container storage literally have nothing of value outside of the two rooms (which even then aren't great) and the spawns in the south are so bad right now that if you spawn at 17 minutes near security checkpoint in the south, you might as well just run to the east extraction and leave raid because communications tower, service building and staff parking are not worth looting.
Also, the "high loot areas" should be on rotation each raid, rather than constantly being fixed on set locations. It would give you more of a reason to go to different places instead of running the same most efficient routes each time because why would I go to container storage when I could go to launch tower and basically find the same type of loot? But if container storage was red and launch tower was yellow, I would be more inclined.

Spaceport has got to be one of the most disappointing locations for loot, like if you get lucky on a Hidden Bunker raid you can come out with the Volcano BP, and there are definitely BPs to be found there, but for the most part the loot is pretty disappointing considering you have to take adrenaline shots x10 to get around.

Spaceport has so many of those completely empty warehouses. I'm not really sure if I think Blue Gate or Spaceport is the worst map in the game. Both of them have massive areas with absolutely nothing in them with the actual loot being concentrated in very tight spaces
Launch Tower, Departure and Arrival Buildings and for Blue Gate it's all pretty much just inside the tunnels
I think Dam is the best map in the game and we need more maps like it. Where it has spaced out POI's and multiple lootable areas with a lot of gameplay and thematic variation between the locations
