stashing your gear....

Recommended Posts

Would it be possible to use entrenching tool to dig a hole to be able to cache weapons and gear ?

I feel like if you ever did this you would lose your gear? And it would in real life possible ruin your guns

Tents and storage are a tragedy in this game because they remove the consequences of permadeath. So tying the cache to your life and only being able to create one, then deleting it on death is the fairest way to resolve this in my opinion.

Maybe a little mound of dirt appears in the ground tagged to your body. When you look at it, it tells you if it's yours or "Unknown's" (Of course, we'd assume you wrapped all of your stuff in garbage bags first to keep it environmentally protected.)

It'd give a better use for the entrenching tool. Also, letting other players loot it would just be par for the course. This isn't World of Warcraft, this is DayZ. You shouldn't even be able to keep your stuff after you die in the first place.

I was just thinking about this too.

There should be a way to dig. In real life you can dig and use a poncho and stuff co cover the hole and make a secret hideout, also use branches and stuff.

If we could pick up small pieces of branches with leaves on it, it would be possible to trow them and stack them over our improvised hole...basically how good you are and how much time you take to cover your hole determines how hidden it is.

It should have the same AI hidden factor as a ghillie suit, in regards to zombies, but for hiding from players, it should just be up to the individual to make a good jobs a positioning various leaves and branches.
