The Tote Bag is a simple cloth shopping bag with two handles. It is one of the most common bags in the game. It is light and easy to find early on.
Its main strength is that almost every store counter has one, which makes it a handy stopgap until a backpack turns up. Its main cost is that it must be held in a hand to use, and it holds only a little. Some tote bags spawn with clothes, plastic bags or personal items inside. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The Tote Bag holds 6 units of items and takes half their weight off. It takes single items up to size 2. It weighs very little when empty.
It must be equipped in the primary or secondary hand to be opened. That ties up a hand that could hold a weapon. It is best used for short trips or for sorting loot at a base.
The Plastic Bag holds a little more, at 8 units, and weighs even less. The Garbage Bag holds far more, at 20 units, with the same weight cut.
Tote bags found in different places can hold different things. A clothing tote is often full of socks, underwear, shirts and skirts. Another kind holds plastic bags. A dancer's tote may hold makeup, a hair dryer, letters and photographs.
Tailoring
The Tote Bag is immune to holes. It is fire tinder and fire fuel, so a spare one can start a fire.
