[2020] Storage Chest Disappear within a Quest POI

Originally posted by Ragequit Inc.: It is as intended, essentially. Activating a quest resets the whole POI.

(I always put my loot chests in the middle of the road)

This. short version is it's intended and there are reasons for it. Just plop your chests out on the road; Or don't do quests in POI's you know you have storage chests and stuff in. (You can always abandon quests instead of doing them.)

The area is only reset upon interacting with the floating '!' marker at the quest location; So you have plenty of time to cross reference your map or memory, or even just check inside real quick if it's a place you're using for storage.

Just say no.

And to make sure theres loot there for you to get; And to make sure there are zombies inside for you to kill for the quest; And to make sure the placement of the quest bag is there if applicable; And to make sure the player hasn't turned the quest house into a killing floor for the zombies that spawn..etc, etc, etc. Lotsa reasons for why.
