Henyo10 23 Posted June 26, 2012 What is the safest way to give items to others without it glitching and disappearing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stover1985@rogers.com 0 Posted June 26, 2012 If you trust each other (for instance, you know each other IRL) you can place items directly into someone's backpack. Strangers might get upset by this, results could be lethal :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My friends and I do this with each other all the time. We're real life friends so we can atleast trust eachother that far. Never had that happen, could be dumb luck tho.

Prof. Awesome 3 Posted June 26, 2012 Me and my friends do it also with the "open friends backpack and put it there" way! :D Works perfectly fine for us!PS: Only if the backpack of my friend is full, items disappear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmx 1 Posted June 26, 2012 PS: Only if the backpack of my friend is full' date=' items disappear![/quote']Agreed. I was with a group of RL friends last night and we were drinking and swapping a single water bottle between us. Unbeknown to to him, I didn't have a spare space in my rucksack and when my mate tried to put the water bottle into my back pack, it disapeared.Make sure you have the space before you start swapping items in backpacks!!

igelqott 2 Posted June 26, 2012 ye the backpack eats it, if there is no room, sometimes the backpacks bug out and shows -slots. ei. -4/20So watch the numbers. And also check so that the item fits the number slots thats empty. Some tools take 1 slot in the toolbelt, but alot of slots when in a backpack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dallas 5195 Posted June 26, 2012 I never use the drop button, unless it's trash.I use the < arrow in the left inventory window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
