How does item spawning work in Arc Raiders?

Loot and items spawn in locations appropriate to that item - for example, "Antiseptic" will spawn in Medical areas and so on. Every map has multiple areas that match one or several of these terms: Industrial, Medical, Security, Residential, Old World, Commercial, Nature, Electrical, Exodus or Mechanical, and so on. Some places can be more than one location type as well - for example, the Power Generation Complex in Dam Battlegrounds is both Electrical and Industrial.

Items have a chance to spawn in any container/location in an area that matches their type. Antiseptic can spawn in any cabinet in a Medical location, but it's not guaranteed. Higher rarity items, of course, are less likely to spawn, even when you're in locations that match their location type.

I've omitted a few equipment items that are not tied to specific areas and locations, because they can simply appear anywhere and are simply low odds, or require you to leap through some hoops, such as calling an Arc Raiders supply drops. That includes the following:
