Stashes

[ChinWooMan 34]

So I'm wondering if I gather lots of equipment myself as a survivor, will someone easily find my stash if I hide it deep deep into the forest?

just tell me... and no one else ;)

Hide it where you want, there's always a chance someone will find it,

Don't loot piles despawn after some time? I think the only safe way to store your items, besides storing them in your inventory or backpack, is storing them in tent you find and playe somewhere. Still everybody can access your tent and steal your stuff.

The inevitability is that eventually, someone will stumble on it.

The best way to prevent this is to understand the map and general player movements, i.e. Elektro/Cherno moving up to Stary Sobor and NW Airfield, or up towards Berezino. Or Berezino to NW Airfield. There are so many options.

Understanding where players come from and frequent, and then the patterns they take between each of those can minimize your chances of having it be spotted. The real trick is to avoid landmarks, but also not plop it in the middle of the woods where it will be visible for 400 meters. Despite having the camo print, the human eye is going to see the rigid form among the woods pretty easily.

Like always, don't get attached to your equipment.
