Can't use the Backpack

Recommended Posts

Hi, i'm new here (i'm from spain, so i apologize for my bad english) and i've been having some problem that maybe you can help me in here.

The problem here is that i cannot use my backpack. I do what i suppose: i click in "open the backpack" and then i see in the left superior corner of the inventory that my backpack is full, always full. But the items that are suppose to be inside are the rest of the inventory (the weapons, the tools, everything) that shouldn't be in the backpack, because they're equip in the rest of the inventory. So now i want to open it to store some other items, but it's impossible, because i cannot see the slots in the backpack. I don't know if this is a common problem or if it's only a bug, or maybe is that don't how to use to it.

Do you know any way to help with this? Thank you for your troubles.

It's going to say 8/8. Or however many slots in your backpack. When you add an item it will go down.

It's not full.

The way the gear system works is not really intuitive for modern gamers.

When you click open backpack it should appear on the top left of the inventory window: Patrol Pack 8/8. That means your backpack has 8 slots of free out of 8 total, clicking on the left arrow in an item with the pack open will put that item in the pack and the free slots number should decrease. Close backpack afterwards, pressing the left arrow in an item now should drop it instead.

Better yet:

Yea, as mentioned the gear/inventory system isnt entirely friendly. When you see your bag is 8/8 slots, that means its 8 free, out of 8 total slots. Same for any other sized bag.

You'll get the hang of it.
