So I finally cleared the camp NW of rattay. After I killed the bandit leader I was excited to open the very hard lockpick chest only to find nothing! Is this normal? Just seems weird to have a chest like that with no reward.
yea thats normal. its because all of the loot was on the bandits you killed. thats where they put there loot / gear / weapons when they go to sleep at night. if u were to kill them at night , a lot of stuff would be in there that they would normally have on them… i always open them to check no matter what. half the time something is in there and half the time it was all on the bandits.
As stated above, all bandit equipment gets stored there when they go to sleep. There can sometimes be loot in there such as a necklace, potion and chalices etc, but it’s not 100% from personal experience.
