Fallout 76 containers and storage



In Fallout 76, containers are world objects that have their own inventory and that can be interacted with.

Characteristics
The player character can transfer items from the container's inventory to their own inventory and vice versa. When a container is locked its inventory cannot be accessed before the player character unlocks it. When a container is marked as owned, taking items from such container is considered as theft and might turn nearby characters hostile. Items placed in a container will disappear over time. Containers in settlements that are controlled by the player character are not affected.

If one wants to store an item in a container, the "Transfer" option must be selected by pressing the corresponding button. From there, the player can choose what items to store and take. However, the player can view the container's contents and loot the container without having to open it by scrolling up and down and selecting the "Take" option.

Stash box


Unique to Fallout 76, stash boxes are private, instanced containers. Unlike other containers, all stash boxes share the same inventory for each player character, allowing player characters to access any stashed item from any stash box across Appalachia.

Backpack


The backpack is a container initially made of cloth. The base version is secured with leather straps and features a main compartment and two separate side pouches. A portable variant of container, the backpack provides an additional 60 carry weight at the max level (level 50). It can also be outfitted with a variety of mods, both functional and cosmetic. A small backpack also exists, identical in appearance to the standard-size backpack but only provides half the carry weight.
