EndlessNight 103 Posted July 28, 2012 Is it possible to store a gun in my backpack? because I found a M16A2 but want to have a shotgun too, but when I put it in my backpack it just disappears, am I doing something wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drogur (DayZ) 169 Posted July 28, 2012 A primary weapon will use 10 slots when stored in a backpack.http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Backpack 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimlacy 19 Posted July 28, 2012 You can yes, BUT you need to already have the free space for it (I think a primary weapon takes up 10 slots? not sure) Somehow the game wont trade it out if there isn't 10 free slots, and it pretty much just deletes the gun, or sometimes drops it.So just free up space (10 slots should be enough) and you can store it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter p-q 3 Posted July 28, 2012 If you dont have enough room for the weapon in your backpack it will just dissapear I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoRegrets 495 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) If you switch weapons ... make sure to switch the gun OUT of your backpack ... not in ... if you try to put the gun in the backpack you have in your hand right now it will disappear ..."Switch from LEFT to RIGHT" ... as a rule of thumb for the inventory ...GL Edited July 28, 2012 by NoRegrets 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrunchyBacon 29 Posted July 28, 2012 also every gun ive tried to put in the patrol pack doesnt work so make sure you have a better pack than the one you start with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shagohad 124 Posted July 28, 2012 hey man,a primary weapon in the cyote pack (patrol) or a smaller (czech vest pouch) will disappear as the bag has less than 10 spaces (the size of the gun)in a larger pack it will just boot some gear out of the pack and into the loot pile to make spacecheersshago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huntra 35 Posted July 28, 2012 I was having a great early game run, got myself enough medical supplies food and soda to get me to the north west corner of the map with no trouble. Was using a Lee Enfield but didn't have a secondary weapon. Found a really easy to get to barn on my way but north was like great! Checked it out and found a double barreled shotgun. Had the genius idea of putting my Enfield in my bag to see if it fit so I could carry two primary weapons. It was so dumb, rifle just disappeared, only had a few shots for the shotgun and a whole bunch of rifle ammo. Raged so hard :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
