Dungeons are rewarding?

    I'm not usre how much this is has been covered yet by other threads, the search didn't yield much.

    I was concerned about the actual amount of reward in dungeons as opposed to random chests/abandoned buildings.
    So far in my planet hopping all the actuallu interesting gear I've found including the ONE piece of Tech I've found came from random chests that sometimes were in abandoned (mostly Apex) buildings.
    Dungeons on the other hand get me truly excited but when I finish exploring a prison/bunker/temple/sewer/digsite I end up coming out with just some pixels and maybe a few common and uncommon crappy weapons that I end up throwing away.
    Is it maybe too much to ask for a dungeon to have atleast 1 guaranteed chest with something decent inside it.

    Particulary frustrating when investigating a bunker on a threat 9 planet where I 1shotted all the monsters and could take their punishment but the human NPCs inside with their rifles and shotguns murdered me in 1 or 2 hits.
    Took me ages to clean it out and while I'll admit I felt awesome succeeding against all odds, it was very dissapointing to not find ANYTHING inside, not even an uncommon weapon drop.

    Am I just incredibly unlucky or is this normal?

    That happens to me too.
    I have found more luck in looting villages.
    I have found 11 instruments that way.

    It's sad when you can get more/better loot by stealing from a village that doesn't care what you do then you can from a bunker with 1 shot shotgun psychopaths guarding it.

    I have only found worthy schematics. All I get really are crappy weapons and not even guns. Sometimes I get some armor, but mainly use it for cosmetics. Pixels are good though, that's something there's plenty of.

    As it stands right now all dungeons are good for is getting one shotted by dudes with rapid fire sniper rifles. Sometimes you might find a tech if the stars align and you ate ten four-leaf clovers that morning for breakfast. I expect this will change in the future.

    Yeah I found double jump and dash. And even then I found those from known tech-bearing coordinates that other people gave me. And they aren't as good as they can be because you can only use one of them at a time and there's no way of switching on the fly.

    Not only that but it takes forever to find a dungeon. Sometime i go in both directions and find absolutely nothing : ( , just today I found the platforming dungeon, got all the way to the end to find an empty room ! Not a single damn pixel or chest in the whole thing. Talk about disappointing ...

    Having to agree. I appreciate that there is a LOT of variation in dungeons, but I also seem to find that villages and above-ground structures are more interesting and more useful (for taking a fireplace or maybe just living there). I also hope that with the new introduction of the grappling hook they'll reconsider most dungeons.

    There actually isn't, at least not yet-- procedural dungeons haven't yet been implemented. Instead the game just pulls dungeons from a pre-designed layout and drops them into a world.
    (I suppose this could have been changed, but last I'd heard, every, say, Apex Lab was laid out the same way.)
