Q: Wouldn't this buff survivors, since they can carry more bullets and kill more zombies? | |||
A: Since it costs an AP to add and remove an item, it wastes a lot of AP to put bullet clips in your backpack if you are planning on using them right away. | |||
Q: If it wastes AP, what is the point? | |||
A: It will be useful if you want to carry around an extra stash of items, such as FAKs and Revivification Syringes, or if you are going far away from any resource buildings and need some extra supplies. | |||

Shrink the map
| Timestamp: --UroguyTMZ 16:28, 14 February 2023 (UTC) |
| Type: Map change |
| Scope: Everyone |
| Description: There are just over 3000 active characters in the game currently likely counting a significant percentage of alts and zergs. Shrinking the map by eliminating the outer first two rings of suburbs would increase the amount of interactions between the remaining characters. This shrink could be increased or decreased depending on future changes to the playerbase. |

Drone
| Timestamp: RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:10, 23 July 2022 (UTC) |
| Type: Survivor Item |
| Scope: Survivors |
| Description: Portable drone, found in mall tech stores, which are pointless as we all know. Encumbrance is 10%. When activated for 15ap they provide an image of a 10x10 grid centred on the survivor, showing the current outside status of all blocks including zombies, survivors and dead bodies.

Would there be a message displayed to the players to the effect of "there's a drone buzzing overhead", similar to a flare? -- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 02:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
Backpack
| Timestamp: Wild Crazy (talk) 20:55, 20 September 2021 (UTC) |
| Type: New item |
| Scope: Survivors |
| Description: This will be a new item found in schools with a 2% find rate and sports stores with a 4% find rate. The low numbers are because, like a flak jacket, once you find it you have it forever. It increases you encumbrance by 30%. However, you can't use an item that is in your backpack until you remove it from the backpack. It costs one AP to add an item to your backpack and one AP to remove an item. An item affects your regular encumbrance until added to the backpack. Items such as GPS, radios, cell phones, and flak jacket do not work when in your backpack. Items in your backpack will not be shown in your inventory, but the backpack itself will be shown in your inventory. There will be a drop box next to the word backpack that shows all the items inside. When you click on an item in that drop box, it removes it from your backpack (1 AP).
A: Since it costs an AP to add and remove an item, it wastes a lot of AP to put bullet clips in your backpack if you are planning on using them right away.
A: It will be useful if you want to carry around an extra stash of items, such as FAKs and Revivification Syringes, or if you are going far away from any resource buildings and need some extra supplies.
