I benefited greatly from losing my main weapon/side ammo. Down to 150hp after being 'accidentally' shot by my little brother, we both ended up with much needed bloodpacks and other medical supplies. As well as a map and compass. Fair exchange for a winchester+slugs. May have picked up hacked gear, still have 8 grenades and 10 m4/m16 magazines in my backpack. Not sure if this is normal loot from military buildings/cars. Dunno if I like having to choose between forgoing a load of backpack space for an axe/hatchet or using it as my main weapon to collect wood. I suppose this reinforces teaming up, only one person need to bear the burden/ be a mule.
