Recovering Your Belongings

Posted

Dying on the Frontier doesn’t mean losing everything forever. Your belongings don’t vanish: they wait for you at the exact spot where death caught up with you. It’s the classic run back to your own body — you just have to make it there and reclaim what’s yours.

The death stash: where your belongings go

The moment you die, your character’s entire pickable inventory is moved into a hidden death container, which is kept in your account’s personal storage. To every other player the world looks empty — nothing left to loot at the place where you fell. Your loss is private: no one can loot you while you run back.

Almost everything goes into the stash, but there are exceptions:

  • Credits (the premium currency) are never lost — they stay with you even after death.
  • System and non-transferable items (things that simply can’t be dropped) also stay with you.
  • Regular Coins also stay with you, including Coins in carried containers. Purchased premium items return to personal storage.

If you died traveling light with nothing to lose, no stash is created at all.

A private marker on the global map

On the global map, right at the spot where you fell, a tagged "Your belongings" marker appears — a loot-bag icon. Only you can see this marker: it’s tied to your account, not to anyone else’s eyes.

An important detail — stashes live at the account level, not at the level of an individual character. That means one of your characters can pick up belongings lost by another character on the same account. And the markers don’t disappear on a timer: the spot waits for you as long as it takes for you to reach it.

Died again before making it back to your first stash? Nothing is lost — another marker simply appears on the map. You can stack up several death spots and visit them one by one.

Collecting your belongings: right on the map

To get your loot back, bring your party to the marker and select it — the same distance check applies as for other points of interest on the global map. After that, the entire contents of the stash move straight into your character’s inventory all at once, and you stay on the global map the whole time: no entering a location, no camp, your party isn’t moved anywhere.

Right after a successful pickup, the container is destroyed and the marker disappears immediately. You’ll get the notification "You recovered your belongings from the death site."

A few practical points:

  • Recovering everything can leave you overloaded. Weight does not block recovery or directly reduce global-map speed, but it limits further item acquisition. Unload items in personal storage.
  • The system protects against losses: if even a single item couldn’t be moved into your inventory, the stash stays in place so that nothing is lost. You’ll collect the remainder later.

What changes after death

You recover the stash contents; items from one replacement starting kit may already have been deducted when it was created. One equipped item gains wear on death and can be repaired. Coins, Credits, purchased premium items, and the relief kit have separate rules; see What Happens on Death.
