Looting Jeremiah's Cabin

[Aagje]

One of the things which always slightly irked me about Jeremiah's Cabin in Story mode (as opposed to Survival) was that you couldn't use any of the indoor containers without losing Jeremiah's trust. On my most recent playthrough, I found a solution -- simply loot his cabin at the very beginning of Episode 2, before you even set off to the Hydro Dam. You'll get a whole bunch of Trust loss notifications, but it doesn't go below 0. Once you return from the dam, you can then gain trust with him as normal -- and even though the containers are still listed in red (implying trust loss), you can use them normally, placing and removing items with no effect on his trust. In a way this can be used to *gain* his trust, simply by giving him his own Pork and Beans cans back to him once he wakes up.

 

Presumably you could do something similar once his Trust hits 375, but honestly why wait that long?

 

Don't know if this should be considered a bug or not, but it's definitely something I'll be doing on any future playthroughs!

now if only we could get an outdoor container in survival mode

Perhaps not a bug, but at least a minor exploit.

This exploit works for Grey Mother too. Oversight by Hinterland most likely. But what pisses me off more is that Jeremiah somehow knows you're stealing from him when he's unconscious on the bed....

But that's rather what I'm getting at -- he *doesn't* know you're ransacking his place. He wakes up, all his furniture is broken down, all of the gear in his locker has been replaced by your dirty socks, and you just give him a "who, me?" look.

I'm specifically talking about taking one small item.

I admit I've never robbed Grey Mother nor Jeremiah. From what I've seen in Jerry's hut you can use the crate outside, and everything which is not part of the quests can be put in there and taken out with no hard feelings. Grey Mother's storage on the other hand ceased interacting after filling it with firewood. I personally drop everything on the floor, I just try to make stacks of similar stuff.

From version 1.27 changelog:

*[Wintermute] Added container for player gear in Grey Mother's House and Jeremiah's Cabin. Using these containers will not affect Trust levels with either character.

So no need to drop your stuff on the floor
