Backpack slots in vehicles?

[Snilex 40]

I've played DayZ for awhile now and should know the answer but I just can't figure it out. What does it mean to have a backpack in a car or heli, does it make the inventory bgigger? I don't really know because before when Alice backpack was 20 slots I had one in my Huey with slots and 3 weapon slots. IF backpack slots means it would have 40 slots right?

Or is it like weapon and normal slots, they are separate?

Backpack slots simply mean how many backpacks you can store in a vehicle. The same goes for both items and weapons, items also don't take up multiple slots (a wheel usually takes 6 slots, but only one when placed in a car).

eg.

BP slots: 2

Item slots: 50

Weapon slots: 10

Could be wrong here, bugger knows, think it's right.

I know the separated slots, just wasn't sure about backpacks. Didn't know that car parts just took one slot though, so that was new to me.

Thanks alot for that information. :)

Any items you store in the backpack will stay in the backpack while in the vehicle, but at least for now they will empty if you leave the pack in the vehicle when the server restarts. Before I found this out I started putting Vest Pouches with Morphine, Painkillers, and Blood bags in my car for when I would play medic but didn't trust someone, along with an empty Alice pack (when it was still 20 slots) for scavenging (load it up with food and drink and tools and load it into the car when it's full)
