	A Loot Cache is a special object that gives items to the player upon frobbing. A closed bag, for example. The player frobs it and receives an arrow. He frobs again and receives a health potion. When the player frobs the third time the bag is empty and the player gets nothing. These kind of objects could be useful for random stashes in the map. Mapper could prepare such a bag and teleport it anywhere in the map upon each mission restart, making the loot be in a different place each playtime, increasing replayability of the mission. When placing Loot Caches, be sure to make them seem unusual and different from their surroundings, luring the player to go and frob it.
