Storage box size

Same feature request topics merged.

//Mod

for people who play on multiple characters it has to have been noticed that storage fills up way to fast i think the capacity needs a big bump or needs to be removed because universal storage across four characters fills up the 250 point cap too fast for it be any use.

I also agree with everyone that we need a bigger storage box and boxes not be universal among characters. With 200kg i can find it almost mangable but have drop some weapons and attachments as I want to store a good amount of medical items and items and a good couple thousands round of ammo so I can restock my character between safe house’s.

Hi mate,

You just need a mule to store all spare gear on.

I gear up with 90, with the same 90 + 20% in the plundra and will last 4-5 hours.

Maybe refine your inventory and Plundra?

Yes, if you level up a few other characters you can get quite a bit more storage, not to mention that you can spread out your weapons a bit more, so that you can actually use them, instead of just having them in the storage box.

I miss the good old days when we didn’t have a box. Then you had to make difficult choices. It’s was more of a challenge. Now it’s more like a walk in a park because you can’t run out of ammo anymore.

Of course, in the old days, I don’t think all of the available weapons could actually be carried.

It was possible, with room to spare.

Proof:

14 vanilla weapons took 28 slots. While you had 40 slot inventory + 6 slots for weapons + 4 slots for gear.

Though, the idea wasn’t to carry all weapons at once. Instead, pick the ones that suited you the most.
E.g my 1st (Sniper) build:

Back then, having 1000+ rounds of ammo was more than enough. Now, you can carry 10.000+ rounds, store up to 50.000 rounds in Plundra (e.g 7.62mm) and people are still complaining. :confounded:

I love the game and attention to detail/atmosphere but ffs why is the amount of storage so low ?
And Im not talking about players inventory but safehouse storage. Its so satisfying to walk from house to house explore and collect stuff then leave what u dont need at the base (for later use ofc)…
Without being able to store anything else (after the storage is filled) theres no reason to explore or collect anything anymore so it kinda ruins the game for me.

Ps. Imo increasing it by x10 would be perfect but the more the better.

The current size would be fine if it was easier to track how much we have of each item. I really miss the grid inventory, because it was so easy to just look at your inventory and go, “okay, I’ve got X amount of ammo.” That’s just not possible now.

If they were to make a safehouse where you can store a large amount of ammo & supplies. It doesn’t have to be an increase plunda space.

Say what? It’s much easier now to see how much ammo you have, both in inventory and in bank. Click the ammo tab (as indicated by a bullet casing) and see the exact number of ammo of each type. What’s not to like?

Say what? The fact that I now have to scroll down for 1-4 seconds and wait while the icons appear where as before I simply dubbleclicked tab(I) and was done.

There is a substantial difference between stating that something is not possible, and that you have to wait some seconds for the result to appear … :thinking:
It’s ok that you liked the old inventory better - I like the new one better.

Dont put words in my mouth :wink: Im only saying its not easier or faster in the new system to have an overview of full inventory.
Yeah I shouldnt have replied in this thread… I dont care that much about the new UI or anything stashrelated for that matter :wink:

Could always create a new character and just give the spares to them.

I’ve a level 1 that carries all my explosive rounds.

Agree.

The tiles / grid was better for inventory swap, layout, and overall appearance.

It used to be the D Pad, Take, Drop, Close

Now its D Pad, Take, Take All, Drop, Close, LT, RT, LB, RB, reloading guns mid-battle is an absolute wind up. I remember you could set up your backup ammo in a tile next to your guns. 3 button pushes max. Now…menu, 2 right to guns, highlight gun, attachements, ammo, add new ammo, back out, reload, pray.

If this would be an option that could be applied I would welcome the grid section again no issues - the new one I’m still getting used to it’s not the best no.

Yeah, that was poorly phrased, I apologize. I should have said, “It’s easier to say, ‘I have enough of this type of ammo.’” You could say, “okay, I only need two or four stacks of this stuff in reserve, that’ll keep me.” Now, you have a raw number, meaning that, yes, it is easier to see how much you have total, but harder to assess if you have enough of that ammo. Which results in unnecessary hoarding.

Additionally, it becomes harder to gauge how much ammo you have in relation to the space left in your inventory.

Now, I’ll grant you, this could be an entirely individual preference, but I seriously miss the grid inventory, and really wish the stash box had been moved to that system, instead of both being moved to text lists. I also do not like how the text list is unsorted. (Technically it sorts based on first in, which results in a very messy pattern.) This, alone, makes the new system far less useful than it could be.

What could be done is to have, for example, an extra storage box for ammo. It’s a resource we find large quantities of, and we spend it quickly. Good reason to keep it separate from other loot.
