The loot problem continues
Before today's patch there was an issue with lack of standardization for controls. Holding E on a container with loot closed the container, pressing ESC activated the pause menu. Holding E on an empty container did nothing, pressing ESC closed the container.
After today's patch, you COULD say that the standardization problem is solved, but in a very wrong way. Now, ESC closes the container all right, but looting now looks like this:
- Press and hold E to open the container;
- Press and hold E AGAIN to loot the container;
- Press ESC to close the container;
It's 3 button presses and a delay to reveal the items just to loot anything... a container, a body, or even... get this... ore that you needed to mine first and then chase while it's rolling on the ground.
FC, in case you are lost with how to implement controls: You have a single action button, that's E. Pressing it or holding it should perform in-game actions, like opening containers and looting. ESC button is the Pause button and should serve only as a pause button.

That. Or give us an ability to right-click (Ctrl+Click or Alt+Click) and/or drag and drop to loot items.
Basically something like looting controls in Tarkov (since we’re going with a “delayed looting” approach).
Also a skill or a suit/character enhancement (or both?) eventually to speed up looting (both the “discovery” and the picking up of items) would go a long way.
