To move an item to the storage, hover over it in the attaché case, press A (X on PlayStation), and select “Send to Storage.” Or interact with a typewriter, open the Storage tab, and manually store unwanted pieces of equipment.
The first method, storing items from the case, can be done at any time. But the player needs a typewriter for the second. (There’s usually one nearthe Merchant sites.)
How to Restore Items from the Storage
Restoring equipment is done through typewriters. To take an item out of the storage, interact with a typewriter, open the Storage tab, hover over the desired equipment, and press Confirm (A on Xbox, X on PlayStation). Note that there must be enough space in the case, or else the stored item won’t return to the inventory.
Before restoring items, press LS (L3 on PlayStation) to auto-sort the attaché case. This option ensures that the empty space is used as efficiently as possible.
What Items Can Be Stored in the Storage
