Scarlet Wasteland lacks a storage chest for item storage, meaning you must carry all possessions with you due to your restricted inventory. However, a solution exists to store items in your supply chest to free up inventory space by not selling unwanted items.
By utilizing this workaround, you can tackle a major game inconvenience without waiting for an official storage chest in a future update.
The Supply Chest Exploit
To store items in Scarlet Wasteland in the current version 1.00.02 of the game, you can exploit a specific mechanic that automatically stores items in the Greymanes supply chest. This mechanic typically triggers when completing a quest to store its rewards, but there’s another method to trigger it.
To achieve this, first unlock the camp in Chapter 3. Then, follow these steps to store your items:
- Approach the supply chest at the Greymanes camp.
- Access the inventory menu.
- Deposit any item you wish to store by pressing Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox).
- Interact with the bed and opt to rest for a minimum of three hours.
- Upon waking up, the game will confirm that the loot has been transferred to the supply chest!
CAUTION: Certain items like boss-dropped weapons cannot be stored in the chest using this method. If you drop them and sleep, the item will be marked as missing. To reclaim it, you must repurchase it from Karl at the camp via the Recover Item option. Hence, it’s advisable to save your progress before trying this technique.
This approach is more favorable than an alternative workaround involving selling items to vendors and buying them back later. The vendor’s restock cycle for repurchasable items occurs every 7 in-game days, risking permanent loss of items if you overlook the timing.
