Loot

One or more items that can be picked up from a defeated enemy's remains. Can also be used as a verb, to loot, as in "loot the corpse".

Usage
Press the T key while targeting the dead enemy to loot select items from a corpse (useful when your backpack is getting full). You can automatically loot a corpse by walking over it. You will hearing a clicking sound effect and see the items you have just looted in the chat area and in the announce area on the righthand side of the screen.

If your backpack is full then you will not be able to loot unique items, but certain other items such as ammunition, med packs, etc. will stack up to a threshold granted you have any amount already in your backpack.

Tips
Looting the Machina Control Chip from Machina will disable their ability to self-resurrect.
