Make Drybags way less common

[kll4 30]

So currently, nearly everyone, except for players with high-grade military loot is carrying a drybag.

They've got more slots than a small taloon backpack and are even waterproof. I think that because of this the drybags are very special and shouldn't be that common, maybe only spawn very rarely in civilian buildings and commonly in military buildings. 

I still remember that finding a small taloon backpack shortly after spawning was one of the best feelings in the game.

Remember that they are new, being tested and their chance of spawning will probably change, like everything else, in the future.

But they we're oon experimental hive for a few weeks so i thought the testing was done there.

They are implemented on exp initially to see if the will function in the game world, it isnt until stable build where they get the numbers they need to see if they need tweaking from all of our testing. Be patient, soon they will start to dwindle.

almost EVERY new item has an increased spawn-rate at the beginning, so more people find these items.

And the more people find them, the more people are able to report possible bugs/problems with that item. ;)

 

 

 

I don't think drybags should spawn in mil. buildings only or at all.

Not every "useful" should spawn in mil. buildings. There's already a military counterpart to the dryback, which is the SPOSN-tortilla-backpack or what it's called. This backpack may have less slots, but is also waterproof, has a better colour/camo, the model itself is smaller and let's you blend in with the environment much easier.

 

Drybags spawn in yellow, red, blue, black and green. So  ~60% of the time you will find a backpack, which is very easy to spot.

 

 

 

These drybags are used for cano-ing or how it is called ;)

They could still spawn in civil. spawns, but also somewhere on the coast, or in the big ship wreck "Rify", or these small boats:
