Will items I leave behind in a location stay?

[Grigard]

A few examples I'm worried about. If I bring along something and have to leave it for whatever reason, can I loot it back if I drop the item in a container?

Second Example: If I kill a person and do not loot his corpse, will it be there the next day?

Third: If I kill a person, take the loot from his body and then put it in a container. Will it be there the next day?

I got one of my characters killed ( Pavle ) while he was trying to sneak out of a place and the night after i found his corpse with Katia and took back all his staff, the owner of the house didn't bother to loot him and left him with all the items .. I think you can take and leave whatever you want from various containers ..I am not sure though .. Some places get visited from others and maybe they take what they find ..

Yes, yes, and yes as far as I'm aware, with 139 hours in the game. While I haven't written down every item and it's amount, I can come back to areas days after I leave stuff and it's still there.

The exception is the supermarket with the looters instead of the soldier. They will clean out the area if you let them, which leads me to kill them and take their stuff too.

EDIT to my post above. I used to write down items and amount left behind so as to know what I could pick up on my next looting run, especially when I would quit the game for that day. That became tedious really fast.

I'd like to see the devs add an inventory dialog for each location of stuff you revealed at those locations when you click on it before a looting run.

Alright. Thanks a lot! Any way to get the soldiers at the Outpost to stop firing on sight?

I think I accidentally took one step too close or something because they drew weapons after I had traded them. Now I have a cart full of pure alcohol and I want to trade them.

From what I know, If you kill someone not on your team, the next night their corpse wont be there. :P
If they were on your team, then yes their corpse will be there along with all the stuff.
If you leave anything anywhere it will most likely be there the next night, unless its somewhere where there are people that do walk around digging through piles like some scenarios at the supermarket.
Now if you made the guys mad once you will never be able to go back there safely xD If you want to stop their firing you will just have to kill them, sorry. Good luck!
