The Small Protective Case is a small sturdy case for keeping a few items together. It is a container carried in the hand.
Its real value is often what is inside. Many cases are found packed for a job, holding a pistol, a radio, first aid supplies, survival gear or gun parts. As a container it holds only a little.
The case comes in two looks, a plain case and a military case. Both have the same size and weight cut. It is found in music stores, gun stores, electronics shops, pawn shops and army storage. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The case holds 4 units and takes half the weight inside off the carrier. It is carried in the hand. The larger Protective Case holds 7 with the same weight cut, at the same weight. The Handgun Case holds the same 4 for half the weight of the small protective case.
The case is most useful for sorting small gear, such as batteries, medical supplies or gun parts, into one bundle.
Found cases hold different kits. Pistol and revolver cases always come with something inside, often a handgun with its magazine or a box of rounds. Walkie talkie cases usually hold a radio and a battery. Electronics cases hold batteries, flashlights, headphones and similar items. First aid cases hold bandages, suture needles and alcohol wipes. Survivalist cases hold needles, fishing hooks, fishing line, thread and fire starters. Armourer cases hold screwdrivers, scopes and other gun parts.
