I tried to farm treasure hunters on public servers yesterday and almost everywhere was empty or with dead bodies, after almost 1 hour and just a few hunters found, I decided to give up and play alone in my private server... There all the spawns were active and I managed to farm around 50 pails, basically cleaned almost every location there... I know Bethesda is not fixing the enemy spawn bug until later this month with the next update/hotfix but this is way too frustrating.

I also feel like hunters got a lower chance to drop ornate pails now. Unless I was extremely unlucky. But after a few friends told me they haven't looted ornates pails at all either, I'm starting to think there might be a bug with their drop rates too. I mean after hunting about 50 of them, and no single ornate pail drop... How strange is that? Is anyone experiencing the same?

Hey all, We know that there haven't been quite as many Treasure Hunter Mole Miners around as we're all used to seeing during these events, due to a bug affecting enemy spawns. We're actively working to fix that issue as soon as possible, and once we do, we're going to hold another Treasure Hunter weekend to help make things right.

The fix is still in testing, so I can't promise a date just yet, but we're now aiming to roll it out sooner than the patch that's coming later this month. If that changes, or if I hear any updated information on timing, then I will let you know!

As far as Ornate Treasure Hunter Pails go, we haven't adjusted their drop rates. But since there's a smaller chance for Ornate Pails to drop vs. the others, it is possible to run into some bad luck. I'll bring up your reports with the team though, so we can double check that there isn't anything unintended going on with them.
