Picking up barrels

Recommended Posts

I recently found a barrel and carried it to where I wanted it and have been storing things in it. I logged off and came back on the next day. The barrel is still there but a couple of items are missing so I decided to move it to hide it somewhere else but it won't let me pick it up again. The only prompt I get is to open or close it. Anyone else having this problem?

Well, I thought that too but I did manage to carry a barrel with two headlamps in it. So I guess it depends on the weight?

Maybe? Don't work with tents though, need to be empty to pack it.

I had 1 mp5 disappear on me. I know for a fact it wasnt stolen because i opened the tent and there it was. then i closed then opened the tent again and it was gone. I have also had items randomly disappear from my inventory while playing.

I read somewhere that server hopping causes items to randomly disappear, though I only heard this and couldn't say if it was a thing for certain.

I stick to 1 server and 1 server only

Ah, must just be a coincidence then.

Just saw arrow up and arrow down while looking at a barrel. With d-pad up/down you can switch between pick up barrel/open barrel.

Ok, so this barrel... I've emptied it but it still won't let me pick it up. The lid is off and the only prompt I get is to hit X to put the lid in. When I do this, nothing happens and the lid will not go back on. I get no dpad option to pick it up and I've even tried transferring it to my hands on the inventory screen, but nothing works. At this point I am now assuming this is a bug, but not sure what's caused it.

Had the same today..only option to open/close lid. No arrow or option to do anything else.
