We're moving "rare" loot away from potential PVP centers and we're placing lot more loot on outskirts of the map, thus making players to go around the map in order to find rare items, rare ammo and meds. While best weapons are still be available by participating in various activities, we also making sure that players who really into more exploration gameplay will be able to find nice items by just looting world. Yes - this won't be the best way to do that - after all our game is PVP shooter and we promote that, but you'll be able to do it by just playing solo and exploring world.
Exploring world also have it's own benefits as there'll be certain high end items, that will only be available either by high level crafting or by looting world.
