Loot! How does it work?
Loot! We all love it, we all want it. But, as grubby Cyberpunks trying to crawl our way out of the coffin hotels and the Wastes, where does it come from? (Could've sworn we've had this discussion, but I couldn't find a specific thread for it. Anyhoo.)
If we're poor and aspiring 'Punks, and we want ourselves a snazzy new suit, if we can't get far enough uptown to smash in a storefront window, we'll probably want to pull it off of some ganger we lay low. A member of Slaughterhouse or the Bozos, not so much, but possibly from a member of The Kennedeys posergang. (Provided you don't riddle the suit with bullet holes first, of course.)
I'm hoping for a logical loot system. Cops should have a fairly narrow inventory of what they can spawn (standard issue police gear.) 'Punks in the Combat Zone should generally have equipment that runs the scale of poor and shoddy, to that nice piece of wiz tech that they boosted (though, the wiz tech should have less of a chance of spawning.) I wouldn't expect Corporates to be toting assault rifles, and I wouldn't expect Solos to be toting cyberdecks for Netrunning.
Dumpster diving along restaraunt row, you shouldn't be able to find ammunition, but possibly food, smokes, and mabye a body in the dumpster of the Mafia run joint.
What say, folks?
