Summary Snapshot
- You can only increase your carry capacity by equipping specific gear like jackets, suits, or backpacks.
- You cannot craft items or buy upgrades to permanently increase your base “pocket” inventory slots.
- If you die while exploring, you will lose all items, including the gear that was increasing your capacity.
- You can build furniture in your bunker for static storage, but this does not help you carry more while exploring.
Surviving the super harsh realities of the Exclusion Zone in Misery really depends on how well you can manage your resources. Having limited space means you have to make some really tough choices about the essential gear, food, and crafting materials you can actually bring back to the safety of your bunker.
Expanding Your Carry Capacity Through Equipment
The fastest way to increase how much loot you can haul in Misery is simply by equipping items that actually grant you extra inventory space. Just remember that you cannot expand your base pocket inventory slots directly through crafting or upgrades. You have to rely on wearable gear instead.
You will find two main types of gear that help boost your carry capacity. These are jackets/suits and backpacks. When you find any item that looks suitable, make sure you immediately check its stats and equip it if it gives you more weight or slot capacity compared to what you are currently using.
| Equipment Type | Example Found | Typical Inventory Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Jacket/Suit | Bandit Jacket, Fur Coat | Adds significant weight/slot capacity |
| Backpack | Hiking Backpack (Sold by Tailor) | Adds substantial weight/slot capacity |
Alternative Storage Solutions Within The Bunker
Once you get deep into upgrading your bunker, you have the option to install furniture items that work as static storage containers. While these won’t increase the space you have available when you are out exploring the zone, they are super crucial for organizing and safely keeping bulk materials at your base.
FAQs
What Is My Starting Inventory Capacity In Misery?
When you first begin your time hiding out in the bunker, your base inventory capacity, basically just your pockets, is pretty limited. You might see it noted as just 15 slots or something similar with a small weight limit. This initial restriction forces players to be extremely selective during those first few extractions.
If I Die, Do I Lose The Inventory Space Bonus Provided By Equipped Gear?
If you happen to perish in the Exclusion Zone, you are going to lose all the items you were carrying. This includes any equipped gear, like those specialized jackets or backpacks that were adding to your capacity.
Can I Craft Items That Increase My Base Inventory Slots (Pockets)?
No, you simply cannot craft any items, like new tables or specific bench upgrades, that will permanently increase the number of slots in your main personal inventory, which is usually just your pockets. Inventory expansion is something you achieve solely by equipping superior clothing or by finding those helpful backpacks.
Are There Trader Items In Sirzez That Can Be Purchased To Permanently Increase Storage Space?
Traders in the Sirzez Undergrounds, like the Tailor, definitely sell gear such as the Hiking Backpack, which gives you a boost to inventory space when you equip it. However, there aren’t any items you can buy with Rubles that permanently increase your baseline pocket capacity or actually add permanent storage structures to your character’s personal loadout in Misery.
