Some questions on safe storage - Epoch

[zombieland78 42]

Me and my friend are constantly wetting our pants trying not to die all the time, so we've decided to try and build somewhere to put our stuff.

 

The issue is that we need to do loot runs but all our precious harvest is on our possession all the time. So here are a couple of questions:

 

- Trying to build a little hut with a lockable door. Apparently you can only find locks on business suit zombies. This sounds a bit far fetched in terms of likelihood and meanwhile we have an unlocked shed! is there a better way to get a lock? Maybe they can be bought?

 

- Leaving our stuff under a bush - if one of us left a backpack under a tree and went off to loot, does it definitely stay there until server restart?

 

- And same question for tents? Or do they stay there semi permanently?

 

Cheers :)

You should probably specify what you are playing, none of the things you are talking about are part of the DayZ Mod.

Backpacks should stay until restart.

The lock will not lock your shed. You will need to buy a car with a key to lock. Or build a base with a locked door using wood and the lock you find. Anything left in a backpack after server restart unless it is on your body will be erased.

Build walls around your shed. Get a lock and craft a door. All can be done with wood and a hatchet.

A tent and anything you put in it will stay, until it is destroyed or looted by someone else. Same theory, lock your stuff by making a base. Or find a house. Put a door on it and lock it.

All that info though only as far as I know applies to the epoch mod.
