[2022] Buried Supplies

I’ve noticed that final wave of zombies won’t begin until you [EDIT] grab the supplies. So you can take as much time as you need in the box inventory. For instance, you could consume any food or drink in there, and scrap or discard the empties, thus potentially reducing your encumbrance for the upcoming fight.

The spawn trigger is putting the "quest supplies" in your inventory. You can open/close the container multiple times, which can alert any wandering zombies/hordes.

There is a sound difference between alerting and spawning, when spawning you can usually hear the collective footstep as the zombies are spawned and then drop to the ground.

Sorry; edited my post. What I’m getting at is that “using R to grab all the instant the box opens” is unnecessary, and the inventory clutter could work against you.
