Still Playing Scum

I started a new game today in Europe servers and I started like in the first picture , however I was very lucky and two bases full of items and I raided them alone and stole all the items now I'm playing with a friend and we almost got killed several times by other players with cars , I learned the crafting mechanics of the game and I must say its pretty fun and I highly reccomend

This is currently my character after playing couple of hours we have food and a lot of things and our base is a next to a river , however we are having problem to make locks and we need some metal to craft some ammo I guess if we can secure our loot in our house we will lead to better loot / pvp locations.
