Weapons will not go inside tent / ammo limit

[gatorontheloose 29]

Hi all,

I tried a forum search but please let me know if this has been addressed elsewhere.

I can access my tent, I can save a bunch of stuff to it (47 items so far).

But if I try to add a 12th bandage, or a 5th G17 mag, or even a 2nd AK mag, it spits it outside the tent.

Also any primary or pistol, will be spit outside the tent. This was the case even with 0 items inside the tent.

Help ?

Oh, also a spare camping tent will always go behind the tent, not inside.

That means your tent is full and you can't put anything in it ;)

Tents have limited capacity.

10 weapons (I don't think sidearms are counted as weapons, but rather as items)

50 items

2 backpacks (these have their own special spot. Beware items in backpacks will not survive a server restart, so store bags empty!)

you say 10 weapons is that ten weapons and 50 other items or "ten weapons"..

what am i trying to say

if i place in 10 weapons do i have room for 50 other items and 2 back packs is this a sectionize system or is it like the back pack where items take up space cubes ??

A tent can hold:

10 - Weapons (any kind) and/or tools

50 - general items

5 - backpacks

Yes that is combined, so you can have 10 guns/tools, 50 random items, and 5 backpacks at the same time.

Toolbelt items are also counted as "weapons" . So 8 weapons, a hatchet and a box of matches will fill the ten "weapon" slots.

oh dang, so my compass and map count as weapon slots, thanks I never knew this.

Yes, you will have room for all of that, and yes my bad it's 5 backpacks not 2 :/

Thank you guys for replying.

I pitched a 2nd tent behind the first (both on a small slope, maybe 5 deg or less).

The 2nd tent accepts the weapons: 1 sniper rifle, 2 assault and two pistols. The first tent, even when it was empty, would spit out any primary or secondary weapon to any side of the tent.

Maybe a glitch because of the slope, but it could help others to know.

Also for your lolz: yesterday I put a m107 into a medicine box on the hospital roof (by accident, trying to switch primaries) and it seems it didn't fit the box - it dissapeared! *bang*
