Gifts from Secret Admirer

Receive gifts when opening the shutter with Secret Admirer. The main gifts form a priority chain; cassette and note rolls are additional.

Availability and notes

  • Choose Secret Admirer at the start.
  • Day 2 gives the special gift for certain. On other days a gift comes rarely at first; the longer you go without one, the more likely it becomes, and one is certain within 12 days of the previous gift.
  • When the daily gift arrives, the main gifts are checked in priority order and the first one that applies is given. Cassettes and notes are extra chances and do not replace the main gift.
Frequency
On gift days, a random eligible cassette is occasionally added; never if Music Cassette - A Bao A Qu (Corrupted) is ineligible.
per shutter opening
Quantity

Conditions
  • Except day 2; requires the daily gift roll to succeed.
  • An extra cassette roll after the daily gift succeeds; independent of which main gift is selected.
  • Prefer cassette types absent from your cassette player. If none are absent, all 14 types are eligible.

Dumping Ground

Scavenge for random loot and bonus finds. Injury or bad luck can leave an attempt empty.

Availability and notes

  • Close the shop and unlock night outings. An outing must remain; serious wounds, a crackdown or recovery required by Agoraphobia prevent travel.
  • Maimed prevents access. The location must also be open.
  • When The Butcher is hunting you, select a backpack containing a gun.
  • Without Skip Intro, night outings are introduced on day 2; with Skip Intro they are available from the start.
  • Start with 5 scavenge attempts per arrival: add 2 with Proficient Scavenger, subtract 2 with Careful Scavenger, then apply the rounded event adjustment; the minimum is 0.
  • With Degenerative Osteoarthritis, you lose one attempt per week after the first week. If the count before event adjustments falls below 3, you cannot scavenge.
  • A fresh wound prevents scavenging. Every attempt uses up one attempt, whatever the result; the count resets on arrival.
  • Without Skip Intro, early scavenge attempts skip minor-wound rolls for a while and major-wound rolls even longer. With Skip Intro there is no such protection.
  • Fresh Dump lasts 1 day each Wednesday: the rubbish-group weight is multiplied by 0.5, and injury chances by 1.25. Other loot groups are rebalanced.
  • Georgio's Assistance adds 5 scavenge attempts and prevents injuries. Paid help lasts 3 days; its daily random-start chance is 0%.
  • Lucky and Unlucky affect luck. Positive luck can prevent injury, but that attempt still yields no loot; negative luck can make an otherwise successful attempt empty.
  • Loot rolls occur only after both injury checks and the bad-luck check are passed. Item chances below are per successful scavenge attempt.
  • Before protection, minor injury is (5 + 1 × previous attempts)%, major injury is (1 + 0.25 × previous attempts)%. Carrying an owned Flashlight divides both by 2; event changes then apply.
  • Careful Scavenger, injury protection from an event, or the matching protection when Skip Intro is not selected makes that injury roll 0%. Each injury chance is limited to 0–100%.
  • An actual minor injury needs the minor-injury roll to hit (the screen shows its current chance before you search); the better your luck, the less likely it is.
  • An actual major injury needs the minor-injury roll to miss and the major-injury roll to hit (the screen shows their current chances before you search); the better your luck, the less likely it is.
  • A scavenge attempt succeeds only if both injury rolls miss (the screen shows their current chances before you search) and bad luck does not leave you with nothing. Success gets less likely with each attempt since arrival and the worse your luck is.
  • An owned Scav Scanner carried outside adds a separate loot draw at the displayed chance: initially 15%, increasing by 5 points per upgrade to 100%. Bonus bags, cassettes and tool-related finds are not doubled.

Cost

  • Up to 1 night outing; returning home uses it. Scavenging itself takes no extra time.
  • The day after an outing, you miss out on up to one normal customer unless you have Short Sleeper.
  • An actual minor injury raises wound severity; a major injury raises it much more. Major injury is checked only when the minor-injury roll fails.
  • Finds must fit in the carried inventory and be brought home.
  • Paid Georgio's Assistance costs 50 credits for 3 days.
  • Each Scav Scanner upgrade uses 1 Electronic Parts (Common). With Tinkerer, the material is kept with a 20% chance; otherwise it is consumed.
