Custom Starter Kit
As host you can choose build a custom starter kit for each pocket inventory and even the backpack! New option to re-kit at campfires!Details
Custom Starter Kit
Custom Starter Kit allows the host to configure a starter kit that all players will receive when they join the game.
I suggest using ModConfig mod as the host so you can setup the starter kit for everyone anytime you are in the pre-game lobby at the airport!
