Picking up bags

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Quick question - if I find a bag and it's got other bits and bobs lying around it, it seems that the only way to grab the bag is to get rid of the other stuff first. Is that right?

A lot of people have said that's correct... can't you scroll-wheel open the loot menu on the pile and grab the backpack out of the pile? I almost never use the "Pick up bag" option; I've always been able to do it via loot screen.

No. If there is loot around/on top of the bag, you have to remove the loot before you can take the bag. I've tried just equipping it through the gear screen but it doesn't work.

Nope that's something I've never had to do.

I use the mouse wheel every single time I have ever found a backpack I want to pick up. Roll it to pick up bag and click, voila new bag. Works every single time without having to clear away any other objects.

Thanks for the replies, I'll fiddle around a bit and hopefully figure it out.

That's... weird. I've never had that problem.
