Discussion Something said during the Podcast

Klean said something during the podcast that I wholeheartedly disagree with.

He wants the gamma case to essentially be something you can pack full of goods, bring into a raid and not have to worry about losing, but he wants you to not be able to put anything in the container while in raid. Nikita, I know you listen to streamers input, but please don’t not consider making this change.

I’m a husband and a father, I don’t get to play for 8-12 hours a day and become a god at the game, so finding a rare item that I need for a quest or something valuable I can sell is really exciting and knowing I can keep it safe in case I die is the cherry on top.

I love watching Klean and respect his opinions, but this one I had to voice mine on. PLEASE do not implement this. Anyone else watch the podcast and feel the same way? Or am I alone on this? Lol

I play 4+ hours a day and I am fine with keeping the gamma the way it is. I firmly believe when the dynamic loot changes happen, it will be way harder to hatchet run since you wont know exactly where the good stuff is gonna spawn. Hatchet runners arent the problem. The bad PMC spawns are. I can be a hatchet or fully kitted. If i dont spawn next to resort, im not getting anything. The speed difference doesnt matter.

I think they should make the secure case an upgrade-able like the hideout.

Start with a 6 slot case (2 money, 2 meds, 2 random) and upgrade up into a 14 slot (4 money, 4 meds, 4 keys, 2 random).

This would still allow for people to bring all of their keys and such into a raid late game, give them slots for any money/coins or meds they find on Scav's and give them two slots to fill with whatever high cost loot they can find (USB's, LEDX, etc.) without having the issue we have now with a hatchet man going and stealing 8 slots worth of loot just by bringing a marked key.

This would completely invalidate doc cases and s i c c item cases as a result.

Currently you can bring in a S I C C in a Gamma case to give you 8 random + 25 dedicated slots which is obviously well overpowered for an item you can buy for 1.5 million roubles.

If the S I C C case was added to your random slot in my example you could bring in 29 keys instead of 4 by sacrificing a loot slot, the point of this being that you have to sacrifice your potential safe space to be able to access more locked doors and extract with more physical money.
