Jar of acid

There are also green (I think) barrels that have a chance to contain acid, though not by looting. You have to break it down.

IMPORTANT: Don't ask me why, but for some of these containers (like the medical supply cabinet) you have to harvest the container before it's looted. If you empty the container, the block itself changes to an 'empty' version and the chance for acid does not apply to empty containers. Also, technically every container in the game is empty until you open it. So if you harvest before opening the container first, the loot won't spawn. Best advice to make sure you get the loot and the chance for acid is to do the following:

  • open the container > close container without removing any loot > harvest container (with ax, wrench, pick, etc.) > loot the spawned backpack

I thought this was fixed in A22.  I will have to check, but I recalled getting acid when I harvested the medical supply cabinet after I emptied the container.  Or maybe that was just an already emptied one I harvested.

 
That would be great if this is fixed. It never made sense to me. I just haven't noticed a change in 1.0, so I figured it was still the case.
