Dragging And/Or Carrying Bodies

Recommended Posts

This would be an amazing feature to have. For example, if one of my teammates goes down in battle, I should be able to have another teammate cover me from sniper fire while I run out to carry the fallen teammate back to safety, being significantly slowed down as a result, increasing the suspense and risk of going back for a fallen comrade lol. Another cool thing you could do with this is hiding bodies of zombies and other survivors you've killed so that you aren't leaving a trail a blood and carnage others can track you with lol. 😅

Bodies and zeds despawn rather quickly when there is no one around, and if there is someone around do you really want to stick around and waste time hiding bodies ? Given the size it should take 3 times more than a crate takes to bury. Also shovel either takes one of the main weapon slots, or enormous 16 slots in a backpack with 6 kg weight. Sounds like a lot of effort while still leaving a trail of moved ground which will be easy to see for anyone who follows you.

Being able to move a corpse into a defendable position to loot them would be amazing! Also, it would be good to drag bodies out of buildings since we can’t bury them inside.
