Storage at the Typewriter?

[Muton]

Can I put items into storage? I go to the storage at the typewriter, click on an item but the only option is "discard".. Can I move items into storage and get them later? Do I use the discard button?

[REhorror]

Send to storage means you can get it back from the Storage later.
Discard means you drop it and never get it back.

[Muton]

How do I put it in there though

[REhorror]

For any weapons, parts and first aid, there are options to "send to storage".
You can't send to storage consumable items like ammos or herbs.

Like REhorror said. Weapons, weapon parts, and first aids are the only things you can store.

It sucks that you can't store ammo you don't want to use since I don't tend to use machinegun ammo or bolts until a few chapters in but I have a stack of them just taking up inventory.

first aid can be stored but not herbs? Arent herbs first aid? I have tons of eggs and 3 GRY herb bottles, 2 first aid sprays and a viper

[Muton]

isnt a first aid spray a consumable?

It's probably a lenient way for you to save some health.
It's the only consumable that's allowed to be stored, but I always sell it to the merchant anyhow haha.

I think it's a balance thing. First aids can not be randomly dropped and does not affect how many heals you have in your inventory. Eggs, herbs, snakes, however do (more heals in inventory = less chance of crates/enemies dropping heals)

I dont see a reason why we shouldnt be able to store ammo, herbs, herb bottles, resources etc.. Not sure why they implemented these rules

[REhorror]

That you have to ask Capcom.

Probably because of the fact unlike RE2 and 3 you have a different storage system. Being able to store most if not all the item would have trivialized the case system and made some of the upgrades pointless if you can just keep dropping items into storage instead of leaving it in your case.

At least thats my take on it, but this just results in me begrudgingly vending some ammos I don't use so they don't take up my inventory for the rest of the game.

Probably because the game checks your inventory then adjust drops based on that. If you could store ammo, you could trick the game into dropping lots of that type.

After coming from 7, Village and the remaster of 2... I was surprised about the storage.

[Muton]

I just noticed if you break open a barrel and dont have storage available, you cant come back for the item.. I lost a large resource :(

It's really quite simple. The game is balanced around the scarcity of ammo. If you could take any extra ammo you managed to accrue and store it away,then you could build up stockpiles of ammo and it would impact the challenge level intended for the game by the developers. By making it so that you have to carry the ammo you need on you, and choose to either leave behind spare ammo, or sacrifice inventory space, it allows the ammo to be a scarce commodity, as they intended.
