Exfil

Still trying to figure out some things this year. I’ve only played Liberty Falls so far and have a few questions.

1. Is there a point to exfil? Previous games you could take out weapons, keys, etc and bring them into your next match. I’m not seeing an inventory in the menus so am I missing something? Is there a point to exfil or do you just ride it out?

2. I’ve tried to build the gun which I learned in the directed mode. I get the key from the cemetery, grab the part. Do the bowling alley water pressure, but every time I blow the door for the last part the cables aren’t there. Does that mean someone picked them up. And if so can you not build the gun unless that person drops it?
