Another option that's only slightly harder to get but yields 152 slots and a bunch of 2x2 blocks:
I made a simple info-graphic of one of the many configurations that can be used to expand an item case. Item cases take up 16 slots and have 64 slot capacity and can be expanded up to 144 slots using stuff that's easy to find in raid or on the flea market.
You can definitely get a larger effective capacity by nesting other cases in the item case (like ammo boxes or weapon cases) but I believe this is the most we can get with rigs or bags. The is useful since cases are restricted and early game when we don't have access to T H I C C stuff this is an easy way to condense the pile of rigs you have in your stash.
For example, I use the configuration shown to store all my scopes, sights, and small attachments!
I hope this is useful for someone.
Edit: /
added below that you can use a sprut from a shotgun to store three attachments in one slot too. This way you can condense your flashlights and lasers.Edit 2: Alternatives to spruts appear to be the following handguards which can hold more lights, a scope and foregrip:
Trax 1+Trax 2+Trax bridge rail AK 5.45 Design Aggressor handguard AKS-74U CAA XRSU47SU tactical handguard AK TDI X47 tactical handguard rail systemYou can slim down your 2x1 scopes by putting them on a LaRue LT101 QD Tactical Picatinny Riser mount too!
-
Dont forget everyone, put your 1x2 scopes on a Kobra Dovetail rail to make it a 1x1.
-
If I have to hide an item 7 layers deep it isn't that Important to me.

I got my thicc before my first item case lol

This is a great tip dude! You can cram just a little bit more if you put a 'LBT-1476A' into 'pillbox', then a BETA2 into lbt and finally a mechanism backpack. Now you can put your MPPV in there and have 25 extra slots. Happy stacking 🙂
ID: htr7fyzAh you are right! I missed this because you can only get 2 LBT-1476A packs into the item case and assumed it would be less. But if you use this stack pattern as you said
2x: LBT1476A>Mechanism>Pillbox>MPPV+CSA
and use the leftover room at the bottom for two more MPPV... you end up with 152 slots total.
That's some seriously messy nesting but has some great variety. The extra clicks to get through it is.. maybe not worth it but I think if you're storing a lot of helmets and ears it's a great idea.
ID: htr7r9gDamn I didnt know you can only fit 2 LBT's, my bad.
-
Just bought my first items case this morning and did EXACTLY this. I am glad I was right in maximizing space.
-
When you stack all of your attachments doesn't the modding menu not see them and think they're already on a gun? I used to do this a while ago but ended up with ten thousand grips and flashlights
-
What small items do you guys even store? I only have stuff like backpacks guns and armour which take a lot of slots.
-
This is great! I was thinking the items case netted 48 extra slots, but with this it is huge! And a perfect place to store all the attachments that I don't know if are good or not 😛
-
also you take take the magizines and grips off some guns to make them take up one row instead of two
-
Nikita dislikes this

If I can't fit it in my main inventory screen, sell it.
-
Using the new LBTA bag, it’s the size of a berkut and fits in the pillbox. This gives you enough space to place a Beta 2, which is like using a 4x4 space to create a 5x6. I’m sure you could also maximize this further using a mechanism or something slot wise, but it’s even crazier than this, and works with your item case idea. Item case -> 4 pillboxes -> 4 LBTAs -> 4 Beta Bags -> 120 slots before even using rigs inside the betas. Go wild!
-
Similar setup- I do four pillboxes with an LBT in each, and a mechanic bag in each of those, and then a big rig - like the belt rig- inside the top of the mechanic bag.
-
I havent tried it this wipe but you could put a mbss backpack into items case and then put items case into that backpack so you could stack infinitely. Pretty sure it worked last wipe.
-
I just checked and unfortunately it doesn't work! Items cases aren't allowed in MBSS. This might be part of the recent restriction added where most cases can't go in backpacks.
Thanks for sharing though!
-
Oh yea forgot about that part, well that kinda sucks because you could have infinite space in 16 spaces.
-
Ah good times :’)
-
Ah good times :’)
-
Trax 1 + trax 2 lets you put like 7 tactical devices and a foregrip to a single alot
-
Okay THIS is nuts. I'm really surprised that the 2x1 bridge rail goes 1x1 after it's mounted to the TRAX 1. I guess it's because gun handguard slots are 1x1.
-
if you use the picatinny rail riser you can slim down 2x1 scopes and such down to 1x1
-
Didn't see it mentioned so : Put a X47 AK handguard on a gas block, and you've got 5 gun attachement in one slot
-
Awesome, looks like there are a ton of options for using handguards as attachment storage rather than spruts. Spruts kind of feel out of style to me now!
-
You can actually have 6. Angled mounted scopes are their own slot.
-
You can also put an "LBT-1476A" bag in the pillbox vag and adds a collumn on slots to capacity.
-
What are you storing in all that small spaces? I feel like, for barter items, scav box are still better and have less clicking, while everything else like slicks and what not are too big here. You keeping attachements there? I don't even have that many attachements that it would be worth it, I don't kill too many kitted players, that I would have the need to store all the attachements.
-
Barter items are 100% better off in scav junkboxes since they are 196 slots inside 16.
For me it is attachments yep. Scopes, sights, suppressors, pistol grips, foregrips, etc. I've looted tons and a lot of them are pricey so I'd rather just hang onto them if they are for guns I will use (or want to try using). My 144 slots inside my items case was full to the brim before I trimmed it down a bit today. It's still very full after 🙂
You can keep your collection of masks and eyeglasses or whatever you wear if you want to keep a stockpile of them.
Meds is good too. This set up will hold as much as 3 medicine boxes in less space with the inconvenience of having to click through. I prefer the med cases for this situation though.

Trax 1+Trax 2+Trax bridge rail
I wish I knew this at the start of the wipe. Put this into my Alpha, grab literally all flashlight from the raid, sell 'em. Man that'd been so much moni
-
Shotgun scope mount slims 2x1 scopes down to 1x1 as well. Forgot what other things do the same
-
Oh nice! I'll find the part and add it to the main post. Seems like there are a bunch of things that will do it.
-
It's the scope mount that goes on 153 shotguns. I think the TOZ shotgun mount also used to work and some mounts like SVD side mount but I dunno if they still do this wipe
-
You can put tags in the Junk Box.
-
I call that the TARDIS-effect.
Lots of shit is bigger on the inside, especially rigs.
-
You’re the best
-
good ol’ bag of holding
-
This is the guy in your group that takes 10 years to get ready. "Just need to grab a scope real quick"
-
Those can also hold other item cases (unless nerfed). So this isn’t the best use of that space.
Throwing weapon cases into them is what I usually do
-
Ah yea, my second paragraph covered this. So far it hasn't been nerfed so if you can afford and have access to 6 weapon cases you'll get more weapon case-related things in for sure.
-
I have so many UMPs and MP5s to use since I hoard the knives for the Barter.
-
Stop stealing my secrets.
-
Mechanic has cameras everywhere........ every...where...
-
Technically wouldn't that be skier?
-
Game is so "realistic" there is a Félix cat purse in it.
-
Idk not a single 4 slot, buy better rigs.
-
It works even better when you place cases inside of the items case.
-
As a long time standard player, thank you! Now I just need a good secure container
-
Hoarders make me sick.
-
Who tells him that the capacity of an item case is 8*8 and not 8+8

Not sure what you're trying to say here. Can you clarify?

I do that early wipe with items i know that will be laying arround a bit but eventually used for the hideout and quests. When i get done with most stuff i can clean up the piles of rigs
