Description
After playing the game for a while the looting got to a point where it became somewhat tedious, searching each container felt like a chore despite my character's high Wits and specialisations which seemingly felt as if they didn't matter... If this sounds like you, then I've got just the fix for you!
Works in multiplayer games for your own characters only.
