Loot-Pets collect the hard-earned loot for you, but some players of Diablo 4 are unsure about which items the companions should leave behind.
What are Loot-Pets? Loot-Pets are small pets that run alongside your character and accompany you on your journey. They diligently collect the loot that your opponents drop after you defeat them.
Loot-Pets also exist in Diablo 3. There, the little creatures can primarily collect gold, but since the currently running Season 28 of Diablo 3, the pets are also able to collect common, magical, and rare equipment items and convert them into crafting materials.
Additionally, the Loot-Pets in Diablo 3 can pick up “Breath of Death,” which is also a resource needed for crafting.
In Diablo 4, players still have to painstakingly collect and disassemble their loot. Some fans of the “hack ‘n’ slash” series wish to have these little companions back – however, players are still divided on which items the pets should pick up and which ones they should leave behind.
What is the discussion? A member of the Diablo community asked on Reddit whether players want Loot-Pets for Diablo 4. The post garnered 4,500 upvotes and 1,800 comments within a day (via Reddit).
A player replied to the question with “yes,” if the post creator meant the animals that collect gold – 2,200 Reddit users agreed with an upvote.
Another user added that the little creatures should definitely only collect gold and no “trash”: “I certainly don’t want that little rascal filling my inventory with junk.” However, he would be fine with Loot-Pets also collecting crafting materials, he later added.
Other Diablo fans suggested that the pets could also pick up blue and lower items, provided they then dismantle them into crafting materials as they currently do in Diablo 3. This would prevent the “cluttering” of the inventory while also collecting materials.
More players noted that a personally customizable loot filter for the pets would be useful. That way, the pets would not collect useless items, but only what the respective player sets in the filter.
In the comment section, there was also a suggestion that the pets could pick up health potions. However, some players immediately rejected this because it could affect the outcome of a battle.
