    Food and Supply's as Currency?

    Anyone else think since its a post apop game that on the black market or whatever they call the player trades and player markets do you think they should use Food and supply's partly as currency im just thinking that in a post apop game that food, water and other things would be more valuable then money because even in the demo the stores were empty

    They stated that you start with three days of supplies so I do not think they would be currency. You need those to survive. What would you buy food with then, water? I am not a huge fan of the idea.

    What would you buy food with? the money that started the outbreak? you would trade like in the post apop movies and tv shows you want some bread and water give me a scope for my gun or some bullets or vice versa

    Its not a post apop yet we are in the beginning stages of one. The settings is 3 weeks after black friday when the epidemic took place. We are fighting to prevent one.

    Food and water should be scarce.

    I think if one of the interviews they say something along of lines of food and water being buffs. As to what it buffs i cant remember if they said anything.

    In the demo you do see the players taking water from the Police station. There are two bottles on the counter that they grab while the third player releases the captive officers. My guess you'll find food and water the same way you'd find weapons and ammo. If they are buffs rare and unique foods would be of some value. People would hoard these items or possibly trade them.

    Read the what we know thread.....it's been stated that while we are part of The Division, every agent was basically trained, equipped, then sent out to find a regular job and a house somewhere across the US. They do not have oversight, they are not supported by the Division, there is no communication with "Home Base". We're on our own, ready to go at a moment's notice.
