[ Known]Solace Bridge Outskirts: Fresh Zombie Organ Drop Rate

QA.483
Solace Bridge Outskirts: Fresh Zombie Organ Drop Rate seems off.

Killed over 100 of them, no Organ Drop. I could be unlucky but seems like a lot to kill and get completely none for a FTUE quest.

 

@Aartemis

Bug entered - thanks for reporting!

 

Followed up in QA.487 - Same Result.

I have a newbie ranger account, went through all the starting quests here again, got to this point and got stuck killing Zombies for the Organ to no avail.
Just FYI.

 

Submitted: 44700

Thanks!

 

Still Have not gotten any up through and including QA.490

Kind of rough not being able to finish the scene. Anyone else getting lucky finding these?

 

There's quite a few pipes in the scene to spawn a fresh zombie. These zombies have about a 50% drop rate for this item. I verified being able to acquire one as of latest, 490.

 

Is there now an unlimited zombie spawn?
In B487 I ran out of zombies at some point in time (had them killed before I got the quest and didn't find the glands in inventory)

 

Pipes? Do I need to do something to spawn a particular type of zombie? Like Alpha Wolf? Does it say Fresh Zombie?

I have just been killing whatever spawns naturally.

 

yes, turn the wheels on the pipe in the graveyard, there actually is a spawn called "fresh zombie"

 

Ok @Attenwood now that makes sense. Perhaps having the Alchemist mention something about the pipes and the fresh zombies correlation. Not sure its very easy to put that together.

That being said, I turn the valves and Fresh Zombies spawn. Once. I can't turn the valve off and it does not reset. I *did* get a fresh organ and when I returned it to the alchemist, he took it, and marked the quest cleared, but then I got it again... I tried to go back and see what happened but I had no dialog explaining to me he even took it. So I went back to get more fresh zombies but the pipes were already on, except one. Turned it., spawned the zombie but as mentioned elsewhere, it despawned once I killed it and before I could loot it.

I went back to the guard captain who moved me onto the Fishing quest. SO I think I completed the quest but there might be a bug there. I will try with another character and see if everything works the same or if I can recreate.

 

OK, ok. I see what happened now, the Zombie Despawned Faster then I could loot it, so I THOUGHT I got it but did not. With a second character I successfully got it and turned it in.

ALSO - I noticed the verbiage is better. I see the Alchemist DID say how I could draw them out, but its not written that way in the Tasks list. On mouse over on the task itself I see it does say they drawn to toxic smell. SO, I think its good.

 

Ok, ONE last thing on the Fresh Zombies.

It seems turning a pipe will spawn a Fresh Zombie, but only one. If someone came in the map before me and turned on all the pipes, there would be gas everywhere and no Fresh Zombies to be found. Do the pipes reset after a given time? I don't see a problem in Single player but in Multi-Player, if you have a bunch of new players, I can see the inability to spawn a Fresh Zombie as an issue.

Thanks for Listening!
