Gun to bag glitch

[DinkyDogg 1]

I don't know whether you can place guns into backpacks, but whenever i've tried to, the gun dissappears completely.

Like not in my inventory or on the grounds, just vanishs.

Happened to a AK-74u, crossbow and winchester i was trying to put in my backpack to give to others

This happened to me twice earlier, lost a winchester and z50 (?) rifle to it.

I tihnk the bags are just buggy. Just finished playing and few more issue with bags occured

-Items such as bandages and pistol clips could not be removed from the backpack, but would rather remove any of the same item in your inventory

-Key items such as compass, maps, knife etc etc also dissappear from the world and your inventory if you try to store them in your backpack

If you attempt to place a weapon into a backpack without sufficient slots it'll disappear. When you transfer the gun to the backpack it'll also try to transfer all of it's associated ammo to the bag, any ammo over the slots disappears.

Examples:

You've got your winchester and 8 batches of ammo. You're using a completely empty alice pack at 20 slots. Your winchester (10 slots) and 8 batches of ammo (8 total) will fit in nicely.

If you have your cz 550 and 5 mags of ammo in your alice pack (15 slots total) and attempt to place a winchester in the bag, you'll lose your winchester and probably all of your ammo.

You have 4 bits of food, 2 bandages and 3 sodas in your alice pack (9 slots) and you put your winchester and 8 batches of ammo, you'll end up with your winchester and 1 batch of ammo in your bag.

Never try to put anything in your backpack that doesnt fit in it.

Primary weapons need 8 free slots !!!

Even if you replace something from you backpack (sidearm for example)

Dont put the sidearm youre using in the backpack... do it the other way around. Take the one inside the backpack out, the sidearm youre holding will then be placed in the backpack.

Backpacks do have a few issues, some of them engine-related. However, you wont normally have any problems if you know how to handle them.

edit.: + what felix said :)

Yep, that is exactly it. Know for 100% sure you have enough space before you put it in your bag (INCLUDING THE AMMO!)

This same thing goes for placing items in vehicles, except the items just fall on the ground. The thing is, I'm not sure how the game determines where on the ground they will appear, because sometimes its a few feet behind the vehicle, and other times you can search the whole area for a half hour and not find anything (tested with jerrycans). I think it might place them at the nearest flat spot of ground but I cant be sure.
