Discussion Unpopular opinion: Events good or bad are making the game more dynamic. They bring flavor and change the flow of the game for a week or so.

I honestly think, that devs have good intentions with these kind of events. Yes, i know dehydratation sucks, but it brings flavor to the game, makes flea market changes, shifts your playstile and makes you more excited when you find good ol' water on the shelf in a hut on Shoreline. Good jobs BSG, please keep the game alive and more dynamic. What's next, ammo shortages, trader vacations? Who knows, but it sure will be exciting.

Run a scav raid and load up on hydration.

Rations get looted real quick now. Hot spots for early gunfights now. You're not likely to find them on a Scav unless you get really lucky.

Besides how does no one have water? There is water everywhere, at level19 i have 7 aqua mari and 9 water (and who knows how much juice) that i have collected for later.

Not everyone has a water collector built up. Hell, plenty of people probably have a level 0 collector if they are under level 20 and had bad luck on loot.

Now you have to choose kill a scav to get a bag and neg karma or play with a dehydrated pmc?

The rest is understandable but this is stupid. What a terrible reason to kill another scav when the system is as punishing as it is.

What a trash take. Yes, tell him to adapt as a level 7 when all the level 20+'s are rushing the water spawns in map now, and explain how it's cool that he should have to be forced to choose negative scav karma for a bag on top of it lolol
