Discard weapon, can't pick up new weapon?

[jakob.r]

I discard a gun when I get the inventory full message
But then I can't pick up the rifle I want
Why is that?

[AC Denton]

why do you think?
inventory space / layout

[jakob.r]

I drop something but can't pick something else up?
That does not make sense

[Vassago Rain]

You need to organize your inventory so the new item actually fits.
Or you can play with automatic inventory management, It's in the options.

Not all weapons are the same size. Whatever you dropped was smaller than what you wanted to pick up. That or inventory management was switched off.

[jakob.r]

OK, fair enough
Will have to spend Praxis point on expanding the inventory
Have spend most on hacking skills and stealth

[Simon]

Most weapons are easy to find throughout the game. After you finish the Dubai introduction you get access to a storage locker in your apartment that can store stuff.
