Vehicles and backpacks

[Adelinakei 2]

I know this is a weird question but on the dayz wiki there's a bag capacity size for vehicles. Does that mean you can put a vehicle in your backpack? I didn't figure you could but thought I'd ask before I laughed it off.

Vehicles have storage capacity of varying sizes, that may have been what they were referring to. Some of them can also hold a certain amount of backpacks in addition to other types of items.

Must be troll? lol

Its how many backpacks you can stuff in the vehicle...ha

It is true, should be inventory/equipment holding capacity, or something like that.

Maybe the person who looks after the wiki will see this thread !

All of you guys laughing at the OP.... shame on you. As odd as it seems, this is a simple misunderstanding of information in text. It's not the OP's fault that the description is vague - and it's VERY vague.

I was also confused by the backpack/weapon slot meaning on vehicles until I asked someone who had experience with such things, and they cleared it up for me. Although I didn't think a sedan would fit into a backpack that can only hold a dozen cans of beans.

I'll clarify for everyone who may be unsure or unaware (Please do note, however, this information is strictly observatory, based on my own experiences, and my interpretation of information):

Some vehicles (not all) have extra capacity ("slots") in addition to normal item slots. These are weapon slots and backpack slots. In conjunction with item slots, this makes up the total amount of storage in a vehicle. For example, let's use the UAZ since I'm quite familiar with it. The UAZ has the following capacity:

• 50 item slots
  
• 10 Weapon slots
  
• 2 Backpack slots*
  

*The wiki page says 2 backpack slots, but I have 5 backpacks in mine, so I'm not sure how that works out, lol.

This means that you can have 50 cans of beans, 10 M107's, and 2(+?) Alice Packs (Or M136 launchers, as they take up backpack slots instead of Weapon slots - SO I HEAR!) inside the storage area of your UAZ.

If you overfill the capacity, look on the ground around the vehicle (It will be a bit farther away than you might think, it's about 2-3 meters away) and the excess will be laying around.

PLEASE: If I'm wrong about this, and you can show some kind of proof, please do correct me. I'm currently not able to get to my UAZ atm as the server it is on is currently not operational due to some technical difficulties.
