Shovel to bury items / burial can be seen by others if they carefully look

Recommended Posts

The shovel was mentioned here a few times but I have not read about the suggestion to bury items; you could "dig a hole" and place items in there; but other players could see a pile of earth in different sizes depending on how many items you drop in there; burial would work like tents and items would also disappear after some time (server restart); also it will occur that you may not relocate your burial(s) like many squirells or birds use to do ;)

Burial would look similar to the earth you see when there is a crashed airplace or chopper but smaller.

It could also be considered that a burial is a place to save storage server indepent so whatevery server you play on the burials will be added.

Maybe have a max. number of burials to avoid overload or so...

People keep stealing from your tent, which you use to ignore permadeath and pretend that this is COD? Please let you hide it better?

Mhm.

Haven't set up any tent by now and not sure if I ever will at the current time; however this came into my mind as in a real Apocalypse I would simply never ever store anything in a tent, either ;)

Something like an underground tent? I like it. But it shouldn't be with a shovel (Equals millions of holes everywhere) but with some kind of only-usable-once item like tents. That way you can only make an underground cache after you find said item.

Time capsule....

I preffer a 55 gal drum myself, though authentically carrying one around would mean taking up your equiped item slot IMO, and require an entrenching tool to place.

How about using a Container, but it must be a Speziel rare Container.

You should nee an entrenching tool not only to bury items but also players and it should only work on the right surface ( not on compressed surfaces or concrete ). It should just look like a little mound depending on the size of the item you place of which a player would create the largest one.
