F2 items: bulk space taken in car

[qbadger]

Is there an FAQ on this topic? The weight of any item is listed within game and in various sources on the web, but I'm not having any luck finding the equivalent for space taken.

I know ammo takes up no space, but what about other things? Armour? Weapons? Does a grenade take up the same space as a Bozar, for example?

Cheers.

 

[Per]

The trunk's capacity for holding things (250 to begin with, 275 after the upgrade) is based on item size, a factor which is not displayed in the game but is 7-15 for armour, 1-6 for weapons and 0-1 for most other items and drugs (a Rope and a Lighter are both size 1). Some weightless items like Jet have size 1, so you may want to keep these in your inventory. Another important fact is that ammo (including rockets and fuel tanks) does not take up space in the trunk, so you should happily store any ammo you're not using for the moment in the trunk. 9mm ball and BB's are exceptions, but you never find too much of those. Thrown weapons like grenades are not ammo and do take up trunk space.

You can see the exact sizes in the Fallout 2 Mapper.

Thanks Per... I must have remembered the ammo bit from reading your excellent guide.

hmm, I was kinda hoping that the item size data would be available on a wiki or something. The f2 mapper is great but it doesn't really make it easy to search, e.g. for a specific item.
