Is loot random or pre-set?

[khermann]

I know at least some items are static, but are there any random loot tables, or is everything pre-set in terms of what drops?

 

I'm sure this is covered somewhere, but the search feature here sucks because you can't search more than once without the stupid flood blocker kicking in. Thanks, Obama.

Both. Some loot is somewhat random, some loot is completely static.
