Extending Morgan's Inventory (Tip for No Needles Achievement)

This is not really a guide but is more of a workaround tip for having more inventory space in Prey.

First: Looking for your Storage

In a nutshell, this tip shows how to bring along items using briefcases and luggage. Note that all screenshots showing how it is done were taken at the Crew Quarters.

For people who are aiming to complete the "No Needles" achievement, storage space must be a real pain. Because to get this achievement, no Neuromods can be used. This means you cannot learn Suit Modification skills which upgrade your TranStar uniform with extra inventory space and allow installation of additional chipsets.

That being the case, you are forced to live with the basic inventory space allotted by the game. There's so much items in Talos I and it is unfortunate that you can't bring everything along with you.

To start of, you have to look for a storage that you can carry with you. In Crew Quarters, I found a luggage right at the entrance. There are actually a number of these in most of the rooms. In fact, many of these are scattered in Talos I. My hunch is that this is because of the evacuation that followed the Typhon outbreak.

Anyway, once you've found your luggage, just aim at the luggage and select "Carry". In doing so, you may now bring it with you. Note that you have to drop it when you need to store/transfer your items or as when needed (i.e. when there are Mimics/Phantoms, or if you need to toggle an object/door).

Second: Fill-it up

Once you have your luggage, you can now move items from your personal inventory by aiming at it and selecting "Search". A window would then appear allowing you to manage your items across both inventories. You can make use of "Take All" and do an "Autosort" as well, making it convenient to move items from your personal inventory to your luggage.

This luggage give you 48 extra squares of space.


And when you are not carrying your luggage, you can also "Take" items one by one or simply "Take All" for faster retrieval.

Last: Emptying the Contents (and other tips)

Finally, once your luggage is full, you can now carry it towards the nearest Recycling Station (where you can recycle away)! Note that it would be useful to know where these Recycling Stations are. You can find these by downloading Area Maps from Security Stations. Toggle your map and look for the Recycling Station icon (there's a legend at the right side of the map for this).



As an additional tip, I've found the cabinet of Morgan in his/her office a good storage as well. In the earlier parts of the game, I used it to store my Neuromods and other weapons that I have no use for (e.g. I did not need the Huntress Boltcaster at the start so I stored it in the cabinet first. The Q-Beam takes a pretty huge chunk of inventory space so I kept in my cabinet as well).

And that's it! I hope this simple tip helps!

I, personally, enjoy using dead bodies for storage. They're kind of heavy, but it's fun seeing them flop around.

... How did I never think of this...?

Hi, Onyon. Thank you! Yes I agree. Briefcases are indeed better for carrying items. Because of their throw range, I think they are good for keeping Cystoids away too! Cheers!

the smaller the object is the further you are able to throw it
i recommend using briefcases as they have high velocity when thrown, you can launch them very far
