The Loot Timer is another game mechanic used for judging the length of how long it takes to open lootable items. For example, it will take 10 seconds to open a Decayed Sedan. This implementation causes an additional difficulty, especially when you're being chased by hordes of zombies. Anyway, you can disable it in the game startup options, increase or decrease it.
