But just like you go around breaking into houses and taking whatever you think you need or want, well, other survivors do the same thing.

If some other scavenger comes around and sees that loot, and you or I or another ally isn't around to claim it, that other survivor is just going to take it. So try to detail someone to watch your stuff - whether its at a base or in a vehicle.\n Also, we've teamed up to better our chances of survival. Other people are going to do the same, forming little factions just like we did. If you open the faction manager (keybind '#'), you can see a list of all your allies, as well as all the other factions you've met so far.
