PC Anyone found Quad pocket mod schems?

285 days in, max level, with all the looting bonuses I could find. have cleared several tier 6 POIs in the wasteland including the crack-a-book HQ multiple times. No quad pocket mod schematic.

I'm legit wondering if my game is bugged or if I'm just the unluckiest bloke ever. Please, make the hurting stop.

 
I found it in my current run, I don't remember when or where.

Day 22, level 59, probably got it in the wasteland.

Glad I dropped in here though, I didn't know they stacked, gives my preacher gloves 2 empty slots something to be good for.

Oh, how about the vehicle armor mod? Has anyone found that?

Well, there's one video evidence and two anecdotes of success.

So one, basically. I'll keep looking.

The schematic is extremely rare.  I've never seen it, though I haven't really put in a ton of hours in 1.0 -- maybe around a hundred.  The person I play the game with said they got one once.  But even the other pocket schematics seem rare now, too.  I just today finally found my first 3 pocket schematic since 1.0 came out.  Thankfully these pockets stack (if they are different sizes), so I have no issue removing all encumbrance slots.

 
Anyone who has found the schematic, go out and play in the lottery. You're guaranteed to hit the jackpot as lucky as you are. The schematic is marked as rare in a loot group that is so flooded with magazines that even finding a schematic has become a rarity in itself.

EDIT: I have now collected all the magazines. That means all boosts should be at zero and yet I mostly find magazines only when I loot bookshelves.

If the quad pocket mod schematic was at least a guaranteed reward for completing the T6 quests, I would be happy because the reward for completing 10 T6 quests and killing shiploads of zombies is very disappointing to be honest. Or trader Joel could sell it at max trader stage for as much as a Q6 solar cell costs.

The schematic is very rare.  It is only a 1.2% chance of dropping in the loot group it is part of, and it is not sold by the traders.

You cannot loot or buy the mod itself.  The only way to get the mod is via the Kill Tourist challenge.

 
I got the quad pocket schem as a trader reward from Rekt. It was after the update that reset my trader missions level, and I got it after a Tier 4 quest to a wasteland POI. Might have been the extra reward set for completing enough Tier 4 quests and I am perked into better rewards from the Trader.

Are you positive it was the schematic and not the mod?  You get the mod from the trader after killing enough tourists, like BFT2020 said.  If it was in quest rewards, people should see it more often, even with a low chance.

 
I will check the bundles tonight to see if it is part of them.  I did check the loot, quest, and trader xml files - none of those had the mod as a reward except for Kill Tourists challenge.  I didn't think of checking the bundles in the items xml file this morning before I left for work.

It was the schematic. At the time I'd read about the quad mod and wondered where you got it. The tripple and double mods were using up a lot of space on my armour, so I ran away and made four quad mods. It was an infested mission if that helps.

Correct, that loot group is one of the rewards you can get - and this is available in all quests, just not infection clear quests.

 
Nope. No double, triple or quadruple schematics. They and their mod counterparts are so rare, they may as well not exist in my testing thus far. I've picked up one triple mod (not schematic) and sell the one pocket mods, which are practically useless.

Could you please tell me which files you are looking at this in?

 
I haven't found one either. I'm not sure why they even added it, it's not necessary since they didn't increase backpack space. The triple pocket mod worked just fine before and they didn't create a need for the quadruple now so no need to find the schematic, it's pointless.

With the update you lost 6 pocket slots in clothing, and one triple in the missing piece of armor, so 9 slots total. Going from triples to quads in the current armor only gives +4; it's currently counterbalanced by being able to stack several pocket mods in a piece, but overall you have less pocket space now. And the ability to stack em feels mostly like a bug... prolly going to change with the outfit changes they got planned.

 
I wouldn't say it was a bug.  I think a dev even mentioned stacking them as being an option, though I might be wrong about that since that was a long time ago.  And I don't think they'll add more places for pockets in the armor/clothing update, so I don't see them removing stacking.  Stacking is already counterbalanced by not being able to use other mods if you're using multiple pocket mods, so it's not OP.

But yes, it's because there are fewer clothing/armor items to put pocket mods in, so you have a larger size that you can use.  But finding the schematic is so rare that it's kind of pointless.  I think they need to increase the odds of finding that a little bit.  Not a lot, but enough that you're likely to find it each game instead of maybe finding one within 3 games or whatever.

The quad pocket mod is definitely not useless as it saves needing as many pocket mods that block use of other mods and gives you an alternative to always needing to use Pack Mule if you want to fully remove encumbrance.
