** Also more or less true in earlier installments. While drugs, money, and ammo can be found nearly everywhere, large stashes only appear in abandoned military bases, gang hideouts, and the like.

** It's fairly odd that weapons and ammo are scattered all over the rest of the game: bear in mind, this is a science facility, and most of the guys who where stockpiling these weapons were researchers. This is also lampshaded with various in-game emails, for instance, being from the security division, asking the science staff to give up any weapons they may have stashed to avoid any "incidents".

* In ''[[FiftyCent 50 Cent]]: Blood on the Sand'', you buy guns from an arms dealer by contacting him on pay phones strewn throughout the levels. This despite the fact that some of the levels are set in [[strike:Ancient]] Napoleonic desert castles, or even in one memorable instance, ''inside a burning building.''

* The weapons laying around in ''Left4Dead'' and its sequel are generally implied to be left behind by other people, who have either been killed, turned into zombies, or already left the area. Occasionally the area around will actually explain it even further, by showing a dead body nearby or setting up an area to look like it had been someone's hideout.

** You also have oddly convenient weapon-switch lockers strewn all through the second game. One of which is in a clinic.
*** '''Mordin:'''Weapon stash necessary. Frequent attacks from Blood Pack and Blue Suns mercenaries. Need to even the odds.

* For a place that's trying to torment you constatntly, ''{{Silent Hill}}'' is awfully generous with ammo and health boosters lying strewn randomly through the empty streets. This is not to mention what sort of mental hospital or prison would leave guns or ammo lying around. A player can sometimes finish a playthrough of the game with ammo for all weapons clocking in at over 100, and enough health drinks, medkits and tourniquets to keep the series alive after Silent Hill: Homecoming.

*** This explanation had been done years before in ''HalfLife'' when you get to Xen. A lot of the supplies you find there are strewn near the corpses of scientists wearing HEV suits much like your own.
**** Did you just say HalfLife came out years before ''{{Doom}}''?

**** Did you just suggest HalfLife came out years before ''{{Doom}}''?

* For a place thats trying to torment you constatntly, ''{{Silent Hill}}'' is awfully generous with ammo, guns and health lying around, that it presumably created and left for you. A player can sometimes finish a playthrough of the game with ammo for all weapons clocking in at over 100, and enough health drinks, medkits and tourniquets to keep the series alive after Silent Hill: Homecoming.

** A brief note suggests that they are transported in by the same time travel that Sam used. [[SoYeah Yeah.]]

[[AC:MMORPGs]]
* In ''NeverwinterNights'' (Shadows of the Undrentide), 'so old it's useless' armour and weapons can be found. Otherwise that game is a worst offender.
** In the base game most containers have random treasure based on your level. So based on what level you are, you can find hundreds of gold pieces, a +2 warhammer, and some gems in a ''rain barrel outside a whorehouse''!
