Greetings Gamers. Below is reposted a topic on the Audio Games forums. Hope you find it useful and informative.
*** The only viable method of crate hunting in the big warehouse is to check everywhere. If you have a team of at least 2 players, divide up your team, with some of your team searching the northern section while others search the southern portion, with a couple freelance roamers that check the areas in between (assuming you've 3 or more team members). If you're running the small warehouse, there is a distinct pattern you can check. S P O I L E R S P A C E Head south from the truck to 87, 74. From here, you're at a 4-way intersection, with two search patterns to choose from. Pattern 1: A. turn right (West) and run to 44, 47 (Storage). You'll hear equipment right next to you. B. Turn south and run to 44, 74 (Parts Inspection). You'll need to be quick and snappy here, since this room can get quite busy once the window breaks. C. Turn left (East) and run to 104, 74. Depending on which doors have broken, this area can become very dangerous. D. Turn left (North) and run to 104, 47. You'll hear equipment right next to you. E. Turn left (West) and run to 44, 47, closing the rectangular pattern. Pattern 2: A. turn left (East) and run to 104, 47. You'll hear equipment right next to you. B. Turn south and run to 104, 74. Depending on which doors have broken, this area can become very dangerous. C. Turn right (West) and run to 44, 74. You'll need to be quick and snappy here, since this room can get quite busy once the window breaks. D. Turn right (North) and run to 44, 47. You'll hear equipment right next to you. E. Turn right (East) and run to 104, 47, closing the rectangular pattern. These patterns won't guarantee you'll hear every crate, but it does give you the maximum spatial exposure, which means you'll hear a good majority of them. You'll still need to check offshoots, and you'll definitely run into danger zones, but if you're quick and snappy, thigns should go fairly smoothly. I recommand running the search pattern in offline mode for practice, so you can familiarize yourself with the pattern. Once you do have it down, turns become instinctive, and you'll rarely need to even check your coordinates. Hope this helps.
