jabbajaws77 1 Posted August 16, 2012 Ive never lost a thing and have swam between the islands many times.Mainly cause there are many good tents to loot on them.Maybe it is server dependent as someone stated on another thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riemer 23 Posted August 16, 2012 It was implemented as a sort of realism mechanic.If you watch the opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan, you will notice some of the fully-geared up soldiers drowning in the water, and this was historically accurate, as a lot of gear can be .... detrimental... to swimming. So the game ditches your gear for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
