No Storage Boxes?

[BeeBop Huckleberry]

My first 5 minutes playing and I already can't pick up the key because the bag is full of two herbs, gun, ammo, ink, first aid spray. No item box next to the typewriter. I'm dropping items left and right just to keep moving forward. Even when you have both the guy and girl there isn't enough inventory for the items you run into. What gives? Am I missing something?

I'm trying to have the girl hold the herbs and items while the guy holds the ammo, ink, and whatever item is needed next.

There's really no item boxes in this game. You must manage your inventory. Like you are doing, you can use one character to keep stuff and the other one to do the action. At least your dropped items appear on your map, so you can easily keep track of where you left them.

This is one of the bad features of the game. You can drop the items and pick up later but you have to manage your limited inventory and backtrack items you left behind to make room. That and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ monkeys.

You don't need to keep Ink, just leave it near a save point. Keep only one heal item on each character and leave the rest too.

While you're in the Train, just drop things anywhere you want (They'll be "teleported" later). "Registered" items will be also teleported (Registering an item, is when you're about to pick them up but you say "No" or you can't pick them up because your inventory is full)

Once you reach the Training Facility, you'll need some planning on where you'll be dropping things. Typically, it's a good idea to drop stuff in safe areas you can easily access from different routes, basically -but not limited to- save rooms. It does require more planning that the conventional item boxes, but it you can handle Real Survival from RE Remake, then it shouldn't be a big deal.

Thanks guys. I guess being able to drop/loot an item is potentially better than item boxes. I'll just need to adjust to this new style. So far the game is fun but the storage is frustrating to get used to.

Lanza, what do you mean items will be teleported? Teleported as in they'll appear at a area later in the game?

[Lanzagranadas]

^ Yes. You can't return to the train after finishing it, so the game will move any items dropped or registered inside the train into a new location.

This is one of the BEST features in RE game series. Why would you need magical item boxes if you can create your own stashes ANYWHERE? Also this is the only game where you cant just gather 99999999 hearbs and bullets because you cant take them with you, Always on limited supply.

Make sure trying to pick every item even if your inventory is full otherwise they won't be marked on your map and won't be teleported to the next chapter of the game.

My humble advice is that never carry ink ribbons simply drop them near typewriters after using them. Don't carry multiple health items as game will provide you with far too many through the game. Don't pick key items immediately, first explore all locations, grab ammo and weapons and clear all enemies and then start using key items to go to next locked locations.

Train is a pretty small place. You will get to explore much bigger locations. So better get used to backtracking a lot.

Actually you can carry a ridiculous amount of bullets in a single inventory space in this game unlike other RE titles. I think I had like 130 handgun bullets in one space when i finished the game and 30+ shotgun shells.

Yes sir, I've been combining ammo into one slot. I've also been combining all green and red herbs I find. Coen carries the shotgun and shotgun ammo as well as whichever item is needed next. Rebecca carries the handgun and handgun ammo and one healing item. I keep the other slots open so I can pick up items along the way. All other items I've collected are left near the typewriter till I need them. It's working out smoother now, but it's still tedious managing inventory. I find myself having to run back and forth a lot to drop off/pick up items. Also, you can only leave a certain amount of items in a room. I have so many items I have to spread them out between two rooms. Kinda ridiculous but whatever.

Nonetheless, the game is fun and I'm enjoying it so far. The train was awesome! I'm at the training facility now.

You are carrying your partner with you room to room or go alone with one?

If you have so many supplies that you need multiple rooms to drop all your spare stuff, it means you're doing well so you probably won't need all that stuff.

That's pretty much why backtracking will allways be more of an issue during your first playthrough. After that, you'll have a better idea on what's actually worth coming back for, and what will be just a waste of time. It's not that rare in classic RE games to reach the end with an item box having a lot of spare supplies that you actually didn't need.

I take a partner with me everywhere it's possible and I set them to attack. That way I have both partners to pick up items and it's easier to kill groups of zombies that way too.

You're right. Even after RE1, 2, and 3 I had so many items left over that the storage boxes were approaching full.

I dont think any old Re had a limit for a same type ammunitions so ofc. Only additional weapons like grenade launcher and healign items create any problems with inventory managment.
