Survival/Bugout Kit: Bedroll, Scrapping Kit, Weapon Mod Kit, Canteen, Etc.

[jestertkof]

Survival is here!

Well, at least in beta, but close enough!

 

However; I now find myself wanting a few things I know are doable in reality, and are often a must have set of tools for any prepper or survivalist. A simple bugout/survivalist kit.

 

 

What exactly would I like to see?

 

1: A bed roll.

Simple as simple. A small bedroll you can throw down when not detected by enemies, And can sleep in for even a few hours. I'd like to see it have some limitations, such as not giving you well rested bonus, IE 5 hours of sleep or less like dirty mattresses. But that is nit picking. It'd be cool if you could see it on your back,

 

2: Canteen.

Reusable, refillable, Say 3-5 uses before it's out then its refillable and has a reasonable weight.

 

3: Scrapper Kit.

When used it activates a work station like interface that allows you to scrap items.

 

4: Weapon Mod Kit & Intuitive weapon 'scrapping'.

A kit that lets you alter weapons in the field. Dose not allow crafting of new mods but only installation of currently held ones. (IE: A way to put on or take off a silencer, scope, bayonet, without needing to go home.) As well as 'Scrapped' weapons return only the mods used to make them instead of base components. Mods being scrapped give you a portion of their construction required components.

 

 

 

 

Yes, I know the limitations without the GECK are pretty rough, but no matter when it comes out, by whom, or in what ever parts it may come out i'd be all over all of these things like green on a super mutant!

 

I could see a REALLY dedicated mod author making this thing and even doing it in stages. Say, Craft the level 1 Survival kit, make it just a bed roll. Level 2 would be the bed roll and include a canteen that refilled itself (IE: When drank it gives you back a container like nuka-cola bottles do), and weighed nothing as long as you had the kit equipped. Level 3 could be an advanced pack to help with carry weight woes, had the canteen and bed roll as well. So on so forth. It'd be a GREAT thing to do, And you could even make it rather expensive but not unreasonable, or even invest in it having it's own side quest. Say, Finding said canteen in a basement at Sanctuary or so.

 

Really the possibilities are pretty good! You could even make a butcher kit that when looting dead animals you gain more meats, and possibly a small campfire kit, or stove kit that uses a fusion cell and a hot plate to cook food!
