* Anticipatory stockpiles
Randomly placed items, especially ammo and medical supplies, in places you never should find them. Even for less extraordinary cases.

For example:
* Medical supplies on the side of a street
* Ammo stockpile in sewers
* Batteries in ancient pyramid

Unfortunately common in games that have ordinary weapons and unordinary places.
