PC What is in the crates we bring back to the traders?

[Sjustus548]

Whenever you do a Fetch quest or a Buried Treasure quest we always bring back a crate that the trader is wanting bad enough to send us out for.  I'm wondering what could be in those crates.  I thought just supplies like food, medicine, ammo, and the like but in Buried Treasure quests we keep that stuff while just giving them the crate.  My guess is that the satchels we loot from Fetch quests contain intel on the Duke and his operation.  Maybe it contains names and locations of some of the top officers in his organization or key locations that need to be hit to disrupt his business.  The Buried Supplies may contain high priced loot that was obtained from these attacks.  Possibly the heads of these top officers or even crates of dukes as bribes for the right people.  What do you think we are risking our lives for when going out and doing these quests?

It's all VHS Porn. OR possibly just a locked box full of food or ammo that you can't be trusted not to keep for yourself.

or its top secret govt intel on the survivors and the traders are govt agents

Well its drugs of course, just look at the personalities of the traders.

Rekt, needs his fix constantly in a bad mood same as the other one I can't remember the name of.

Jen, constantly happy.

Hugh, indifferent to the whole apocalypse.

Joel, I suspect he is the one sending out the supplies and if there is no pay you have to dig it back up

or maybe its the long awaited optimization we have been waiting forever for and the TFP are having the traders keep it from us XD

Magic the Gathering cards.  The traders are playing a long game and we're just there to pass the cards around.

70mm?  That's probably a bit generous.

I always thought it was supplies or inventory or critical things the trader needs?

or when story is implemented, or in order to balance the traders you have to get X number of these crates for the traders to have access to there full inventory?

 

[ChickenWings]

I always assumed it was whiskey, judging by the comments they make when you stop in to trade

It's a crate of whatever RNG is making you desire the most; never to be looted or offered in a Trader...

any you will never know
