Okay, so the crouch animation stops being cute after the third time. Again, seconds are precious in this game. You do not have the time to spend 10 to 15 seconds crouching for multiple items in a vicinity. There is a much easier way to do this. When a player enters a home and is surrounded by a lot of different materials, players should go to their menu to drag and drop items into their storage. This will keep players from having to go through the crouch animation each time. This is so much easier and takes up a lot less time. So, next time you go into a room with a lot of loot, pull out that menu and get to dragg
