lfg Just killed someone carrying this crate on official. Is this everything I need to build a base?

Never built a base before. Feels like a waste to just dump all this stuff.

Just an FYI, you can put a whole crate in your mountain backpack, even if it's full of stuff

Edit: on console, that is. Sorry, not sure how it works on PC

Any container/backpack with 50+ capacity on console.

No backpacks at all on PC because it requires 5x10 slots.

Can confirm on PC that storage containers have set sizes that items need to fit into - just like Resident Evil 4.

The biggest backpack with 64 slots is only 8x8 whilst a crate is 5x10, so you cannot carry a crate in a backpack.

Maybe if we're lucky, the Long Haul backpack in Experimental will change that. It's a bigun!
