Gotham

Are you implying using them on tents, or just preventing your cars from being stolen?

That or the glowing pants of a female, or even the glowing white shirt of a male survivor, just saying a backpack isn't the most likely thing to get you killed

My personal use for the lock would be a hope to re-create a survivor safe haven in Elecktro/Cherno aka a fort.

Although the Czech pack is bigger, the Alice pack, and Coyote Backpack have more compartments, and possibly more confined space. Also 9/10 times your backpack color isn't going to save your life, especially with blue and white clothes on.

What if I have to kill a clan of 20 out of personal defense? Probably a rare event but still something to think about is killing for personal defense.

Buildings already seem to be blocked off by barbed wire, I'm simply adding a less ugly and more easily solvable problem. If a player wishes to enter the said area all it requires is a simple shot to the lock, or the uncommon crowbar to pry it open. Although an ease to open without the crowbar it blows your cover to use a firearm and you could aggro zombies or alert nearby players to your location. Unlike barbed wire in which you need to find a toolkit and deal with the issue of a very limited spot you can destroy it from if not at all if this area is behind a wall. Although the idea of zombies not being able to open locked doors presents an even better reason to add them! Also to go along with the car bit, I guess this is where you could see a fault, but as unrealistic as it may be you don't see very many players breaking car windows, and the lock would be for the doors of the car and or the storage unit located inside it. This would just once again be a minor setback and would allow for a possible reaction to someone hijacking your car.

Would you suggest it be longer then the current time it takes to place barbed wire?

No offence, the ideas are good in theor intention but what you wantnis more endgame conetent other then collecting stuff and murder, but everything you suggested leaves you to the same point of having everything eventually and being bored of it. Mabye your awnser relys in trying something outside the box? Mabye attempt to set up a fort for newbies in coastal cties. Offer your supplies for trade so that you could possibly get what you need. Start up a caravan and use your Ural tbarter with others. All while taking risks and keeping the survival element in the game.

I would be interested in seeing this feature, but there could be many issues with getting yourself spotted, misfiring real guns, and all around possible bugs. Possible when undeeground structures are added (aka player housing) it will be possible to build a shooting range or paintball course.

I would suggest that instead of individual weight that an items weight be based on the amount of inventory space it takes up, and for weapons the class and teir of the weapon. Say an As50 takes up 50% of your weight, but a lighter sniper such as the DMR or Cz550 takes up 15%-25%.
