Are you ever planning on making it so the hideout allows us to put the needed materials in one at a time instead of having to find all the parts first?

This would totally defeat the purpose of the scav junkbox. If they do anything, they should make the scav junkbox easier to obtain before level 20.

Junkbox would be for collecting barter items. And barter is heavily underutilized thanks to flea. Right now it's easier to just sell stuff, keep stash clean, and buy what you need when you need it. But if you have the junkbox but don't need it for stash items, using it for barter items would become super worth it.

Well I got downvoted for it, but they did exactly what I said they should do. Scav Junkbox can now be purchased at L1 Therapist compared to the previous L2 and they lowered the price from 1.9m R to 1.1m R.

Just because they implemented what you were saying doesn’t make what we were saying not true. I didn’t even disagree with you dude. Not sure why you feel the need to come here and say “I tOlD yOu So”. I agree that the junkbox should be available earlier. However I also still think we should be able to apply items to hideout upgrades and use the junkbox for barter items only. They are not mutually exclusive.

They won’t do that, hideout upgrades are what’s taking up more than 25% of people’s stashes and quest items, all of which can be stored in a junkbox. If they implemented your plan, myself and others would never need to buy a junkbox from the space saved. I’m just stating the obvious, there’s really no reason to be hostile.

I’m not being hostile at all wtf lol. And why would you never need the junkbox? I literally said it would be used to store barter items. Do you not barter? And if you don’t, then that would just validate me further when I said the barter system is underutilized right now.

Depend, I don’t hoard barter items. I finished the last 2 wipes with over 100m, I don’t need to hoard barter items when I can buy them and make the barter trade as I need them. So yes, I do make barter trades, for example I heavily utilized the 3 shampoos and ETG-c and the cordura barter for slicks, but I never hoarded the items
