shtf style tube burry cache

[commanderbash 102]

I think it would meet most/all interest if a shtf style of burial tube was added to the game with either a 2x8 or 2x6 storage space(vertical). these tubes could be constructed of pvc pipe found at construction zones , duct tape or glue to hold the bottom endcap on. and buried anywhere with a shovel.  the marker for it (deployed in-game model) could be a dirt hill a few inches off the ground. so it would be very easy to overlook unless you were actually looking for it, but still be noticeable enough that you wouldn't bury it in town or at the curb of a street. with such limited space, you could leave yourself a small packet if you respawned in that area like a vest and some water, or a pistol and a spare mag and can opener. there's a big difference between what you can store for yourself with 2x6 slots and 2x8 slots, so that would be the one thing that would take consideration.

• it would provide very limited storage for those who want there to be little if any persistent in game storage options.
• it would be labor intensive limiting the number that players would care to place
• it would encourage players to stick to certain servers (lessen server hopping) as the persistence of items is server specific
• it provides easter eggs for perceptive players and gives another reason to follow players acting odd rather then KOS

 to reduce number of containers on server it could be made that each time it is opened it would reduce its quality one level or just completely destroy it, what ever works better for balance.

 

any for ANYONE that says its unbalanced, there are currently 6 main spawning areas with more to follow, to have even a pistol near each you would have to find the items to create and bury the capsule AND the items you want to have buried AT LEAST SIX TIMES, find SIX different hiding spots, and where it has no ownership, anyone can open it and take the items. this is allows players to provide a small cache for themselves, or help out a new player they meet by telling them where it is. its too small for main weapons (melee or rifles) but it gives you just a little start of what ever you want to fit in its limited space. providing its still there when you look for it ;)

these are real things, they're not hard to make IRL, and the time entailed in setting one up would definitely limit their use
