A PLAN TO TRY
Use the objective prompt to identify a useful item
When an escape needs preparation, read its interaction prompt before searching. Tell your teammates what requirement is displayed and which items you already have. A name that sounds relevant is not proof of compatibility with every objective. Coordinate one search plan so that multiple players are not all collecting the same unneeded object.
Repair Kits: quantity changed, route not established
The patch confirms more kits spawn per match, but does not supply a guaranteed address, exact count or complete repair-effect table. Check the live prompt and available supplies. If a repair interaction behaves strangely, record the object, location, held item and game version. That distinguishes a missing prerequisite from an inaccessible interaction.
Separate world loot from starting items and Perk Cards
Loadout starting items, objects found in the world and Perk Cards are different systems. Record where an item came from and read its displayed description before changing your deck in response to an item problem. A perk upgrade does not by itself establish a change to a loose item’s effect. This page is a category reference; it is not a complete named-item database. A lower card level belongs to the temporary upgrade check, not to a loose-item effect table.
What are bolt cutters for?
Steam identifies civilian bolt cutters as tools for removing chains or padlocks. Match the tool to the current obstacle prompt; the achievement description does not establish a fixed pickup location. Note the map and landmark when you find one, then check your escape plan before choosing a detour.
What changed for weapons and tool durability
Expect less availability of heavy melee weapons, rifles and shotguns across maps, not a guaranteed replacement location. Overall melee weapon durability is lower; the patch separately fixes Bolt Cutters failing to open containers when durability is low and reduces an excessive Wood Axe durability loss. Keep the item, obstacle, map landmark and patch version together in your notes so you can distinguish a spawn change from an interaction problem.
Questions about this guide
Did 1.0.3 publish exact weapon spawn locations?
No. The patch says quantities were lowered across maps and locations but does not give a fixed route or coordinate list.
