PC Beakers. Do they exist?

[Arthur Fuxache]

I was offered a Beaker as a quest reward...couldn't help but think what an awful crappy reward......oh how I wish I had taken it....not seen one since lol

I got two beakers yesterday, Day 8. One was a quest reward then the other was from an earlier air drop that I hadn’t got a chance to pick up. Now finding enough acid this seed has been an issue, only 2 thus far both purchased from the trader. Some day I will have a chem station.

the other was from an earlier air drop

The medical-type air drop has by far the best chance to give a beaker. I bet people who play with air drops on don't understand what the hubub is about. At least until TFP notices it and nerfs it a bit.

Mentioned this before, in the last 2 playthroughs the first trader I went to (as part of the starter quests) had a beaker in their inventory. On both occasions I took the option and stashed it for later on in game.

The previous playthrough to that, I didn't find a beaker (either trader or looting) at all and nearly reached day 50 without seeing one.

In some ways I'm fine with this, especially as chem stations are a popular "end of tier" gift it seems, and the traders are happy to sell them fairly cheaply too. In fact, I've put absolutely no skill points into Advanced Engineering at all in A20. The trader has supplied me with everything I need, from benches to electrical traps.

lol

That would be pretty hard core huh?

Im imagining some poor sod playing on your server, just unlocking the workbench and having a mental breakdown when they realise they need a beaker.

Those things really are crazy rare, along with acid. @%$# acid.

lol

If I had a server, I would make traders always have beakers, vitamins, acid and sewing kits for sale.

Not seen a beaker in a20, in loot or the shops but chem work stations are fairly common for me at the traders

There are plenty I've found, we have 3 beakers on day 6 which we can't put to use yet ironically enough.

This morning the traider gave me a choice of a pistol or a beaker. I can make a pistol, I can't make a beaker. I took the beaker. They are rare.
