Loot Tables

Version francaise : Tables de butin

Loot Tables

Live Wire adds three items to the vanilla loot lists, and a few other ways to get solar cells.

How to read the tables

Project Zomboid tests each item independently at each roll of a container list. A weight of W gives about W % per roll at normal loot rarity (before sandbox loot settings and zombie density). The Rolls column is the number of rolls of that vanilla list.

Approximate chance per container = 1 - (1 - W / 100)^Rolls. For placeable furniture items like the solar panel, vanilla applies the "Other" loot modifier (0.6 at normal rarity).

• At Electrical level 8, make a solar cell from 5 electronics scrap + 1 aluminum.
