World

This page contains information about the items that can be found throughout the world. This contains:

Medkit[ | ]

The Medkit is an interactable healing item that can be found on the map. Interacting with a Medkit instantly stops bleeding and heals 100 health after 2 seconds. As with all interactable world items, Medkits have two charges and cannot be interacted with by the same player twice. Three medkits spawn at every Resupply point. Medkits dropped by medic zombies killed by explosives will become damaged, and can't be used to heal.

Ammunition Boxes, Special Ammunition Boxes and Custom Ammo Boxes[ | ]

Ammunition Boxes and - more rarely - Special Ammo Boxes can be found throughout the map. Special Ammo Boxes will resupply Crossbow bolts, Bomb Lance harpoons and custom ammo, while all other ammunition can be resupplied with the regular ammo boxes. As with all interactable world items, ammo boxes have two charges and cannot be used by the same player twice. One special, one custom and three normal ammunition boxes spawn at every Resupply Point. Ammunition can also be found in ammo sleeves. They will only resupply one specific regular ammo type and resupply fewer bullets than ammunition boxes.

The exact number of bullets that a box or sleeve will resupply depends on your reserve ammo of that type. For example, resupplying your Lebel 1886 at an ammo box will yield 5 bullets, unless your sidearm is an Uppercut, which will increase yield by 9.

Compact ammo is a red package

Medium ammo is a bright blue package

Long ammo is a yellow package

Shotgun ammo is a green package

Custom Ammo Box can spawn at Resupply Point, Towers, Watch Towers and Arsenals.

Custom Ammo Box can be used while holding any valid weapon across all available ammo sizes, for example the Incendiary box can be used with weapons that can equip Compact Incendiary, Medium Incendiary, or Long Incendiary.

Each ammo type listed below can be found in Custom Ammo Boxes:

Bullets
- FMJ

Toolbox[ | ]

The Toolbox is a World item that provides Consumables or replenishes Tool charges. Up to one or two may be found in each compound, and one is guaranteed at each Resupply Point. As with all interactable world items, Toolboxes have two charges and cannot be used by the same player twice.

Looting a Toolbox will randomly grant a single consumable or replenish a tool charge (such as trip mines and First Aid Kits), if possible. Packmule Trait doubles the number of consumables or tool charges that can be received.

The following consumables can be looted from Toolboxes:

Toolbox unused
Toolbox used once
Toolbox used twice

Saddles[ | ]

Saddles can have a weapon holster and/or saddle bag attached to them.

The Saddle Bag is a World item that provides Consumables or replenishes Tool charges. If player's Consumables and Tools slots are full, Saddle Bag will give Hunt Dollars. In Soul Survivor, the Hunt Dollar reward for the Saddle Bags is replaced by an ammo replenishment. As with all interactable world items, Saddle Bags have two charges and cannot be used by the same player twice.

Looting a Saddle Bag will randomly grant a single consumable or replenish a tool charge (such as trip mines and First Aid Kits), if possible. Unlike Toolboxes Packmule Trait doesn't work with Saddle Bags.

The following consumables can be looted from Saddle Bags:

Cocoon[ | ]

The Cocoon is a World item that provides random Beetle. Chance of getting Beetles is the same for all Beetles. As with all interactable world items, Cocoons have two charges and cannot be used by the same player twice. Works with Packmule Trait.

Cash Register[ | ]

Cash Registers are interactable items that spawn randomly in various places on the map which yield hunt dollars when looted. As with all interactable world items, Cash Registers have two charges and cannot be used by the same player twice. As with looting Hunters, the possible dividends are: $50, $75, $100, $150, $200, $500 or $1000, with the chance for a higher value decreasing exponentially.

If the player fails to extract their Hunter, any money looted from Cash Registers, bodies, or coin purses is lost.

Cash Registers have unlimited charges, but cannot be used by the same player twice.

Workbench[ | ]

Workbench is in-world entities that appear in every compound. They have a chance to spawn Gun Oil, a Blueprint, Hunt Dollar or Blood Bond Purses, and specific weapons. Any weapons spawned at Workbenches are variants, not base weapons.

Gun Oil is a rare lootable item that unlocks the next available unlock in the weapon family the user currently has equipped. If weapon family is completed Gun Oil instead gives a random available unlock. Any previous progress toward that unlock is not carried over to the next unlockable item, if any.

Blueprint is a rare lootable item that unlocks 3 random available unlocks from any weapon family. Any previous progress toward that unlock is not carried over to the next unlockable item, if any.

Throwable Lanterns[ | ]

Lanterns can be found throughout the map. Hunters can pick them up, but they are dropped on the ground when switching to other equipment. Lanterns are turned on automatically when they are picked up; they produce light and can be used to improve visibility in dark areas. They can also be turned off and thrown, dealing blunt damage but not breaking where they land.

When thrown, lanterns spread fire in a small area, similar to the effect of a Fire Bomb. The flames will last for 25 seconds and can set fire to Hunters-downed or living-oil slicks, destroy barrels, or break nearby lamps. Unlike lamps, they cannot be shot (unless they are mid-air) or otherwise destroyed in any way besides by throwing them while they are turned on.

Salveskin decreases burn damage and speed of the burning status effect, both while alive and while downed.
Pitcher increases throwing range for all items using the aim helper.

Static Lamps[ | ]

Static Lamps can be found hanging on walls and lampposts or on the floor/furniture. Interacting with them turns them on or off. Shooting or meleeing them while they are on sets the surrounding area on fire. Shooting or meleeing them while they are off spills a small amount of oil which can be ignited by any kind of fuse or other flammable object.

Bear Traps[ | ]

A large trap which cannot be jumped over. Triggering the trap causes 20 damage, inflicts heavy bleeding, and makes a loud metallic clanking noise. Hunters with the Poacher trait can disable the trap quietly, and those with Vigilant can see it through walls within the radius of the trait. Meleeing a bear trap that has been set will spring it, causing no damage. Bear traps can be used as a melee weapon as well, though their stamina consumption is immense.

Barrels[ | ]

Red and yellow barrels will be set ablaze and explode after a short duration when shot. Shooting them with incendiary or explosive rounds or otherwise throwing a Fusee, throwable lantern or other flammable tool/consumable will instantly destroy them. A Hunter that is on fire can trigger the explosion if they get too close, as can grunts with torches, ignited Immolators, and the Butcher. Alert Trip Mines will set them off instantly when triggered (though not the green poison barrels).

Yellow barrels instantly deal 25 fire damage and inflict intense burning to any Hunter in the explosion's radius. Intense flames burn in the surrounding area for one minute. Red barrels, on the other hand, deal enough explosive damage to kill a Hunter outright if they are too close to the barrel.

Most damage sources will destroy green barrels, which release a large cloud of poison gas that lasts for 5(?) minutes and a hive swarm which will target nearby Hunters that are making noise. Concertina trip mines placed next to poison barrels will trigger them.

Salveskin reduces burn damage and slows burning.
Bulwark reduces explosive damage.
The Weak Antidote Shot and the Antidote Shot negate the damage and poison effects inflicted by poison barrels' clouds (but not the hive swarm).

Axe[ | ]

The Axe is a strong and viable rending melee weapon that can be found in compounds and sometimes at Resupply Points. Its heavy and light melee attacks deal exceptional damage and are a strong option against most AI and bosses.

Assailant allows Hunters to throw world Axes.

Sledgehammer[ | ]

The Sledgehammer is another strong and viable blunt melee weapon that can be found in compounds and sometimes at Resupply Points. It deals slightly less damage than the axe but is still a strong weapon against Immolators and deals extra damage to the Spider. Its stamina consumption is comparably poor.

Assailant allows Hunters to throw sledgehammers.

Pitchfork[ | ]

Among the selection of fearsome farming equipment available to Hunters in the Bayou, the Pitchfork excels at stabbing enemies to death. The Pitchfork deals Piercing damage with its heavy melee attack, and is thus a strong choice against Scrapbeak.

Assailant allows Hunters to throw pitchforks.

Shovel[ | ]

The Shovel, another fearsome farming implement, causes rending damage with its light attack and is therefore a strong candidate for clearing concertina. Its heavy attack causes blunt damage and has the added advantage of making the best melee sound in the game.

Assailant allows Hunters to throw shovels.

Piano[ | ]

The Piano can distract AI and play, by default, four different songs.

Gramophone[ | ]

The Gramophone can distract AI and play, by default, two different songs.

Crows[ | ]

Crows perch on the ground, buildings, and fences. They are one of the louder sound traps - if you scare them, they will fly away cawing loudly, which can be heard from a good distance away. It is also worth noting that they fly in the direction opposite to you, which can either give away the direction of your movement or be used to throw off other Hunters.

Crows can be scared by proximity and sound sources like gunshots, bullet impacts (even from silenced weapons), explosions, objects landing near them (decoys, knives). The distance at which they are scared depends on how fast you are moving - running scares them from a greater distance than walking, and walking a greater distance than crouching. Additionally, Beastface reduces that distance.

They can be killed relatively quiet with lanterns, any variant of the Fire Bomb, poison bolts, or Poison Bombs, but the quietest solution is always to avoid them.

Ducks[ | ]

Teams of ducks float in the Bayou's ponds and waterways. Triggering them with noise will cause them to fly away quacking loudly, which can be heard from a good distance away. It is also worth noting that they fly in the direction opposite to you, which can either give away the direction of your movement or be used to throw off other Hunters.

Ducks can be scared by proximity and sound sources like gunshots, bullet impacts (even from silenced weapons), explosions, objects landing near them (decoys, knives). The distance at which they are scared depends on how fast you are moving - running scares them from a greater distance than walking, and walking a greater distance than crouching. Additionally, Beastface reduces that distance.

They can be killed relative quietly with lanterns provided you hit a duck directly, any variant of the Fire Bomb, poison bolts, or Poison Bombs, but the quietest solution is always to avoid them.

Dying Horse[ | ]

The dying horse is a type of sound trap that is mainly present on roads and inside compounds. Triggering them causes them to neigh loudly, which can be heard from a short distance. If a Hunter remains too close to an agitated horse, they can be kicked, which deals blunt damage.

Dying Horses can be scared by proximity and sound sources like gunshots, bullet impacts (even from silenced weapons), explosions, objects landing near them (decoys, knives). The distance at which they are scared depends on how fast you are moving - running scares them from a greater distance than walking, and walking a greater distance than crouching. Additionally, Beastface reduces that distance. A melee to the head can dispatch a horse before it has a chance to neigh more than once.
