-Weapons
-Ammo
-Curatives/Herbs
-(Mementos and Quest Items such as [Keys]/[Keycards] that open doors are shared among the team and won't take up up a Slot. Mementos are personal items you happened to have with you while the zombie Outbreak occurred.)

-How did your character get stuck in Raccoon City?

On the 23rd, Will was preparing to end his night-shift at the Lonsdale Yard, a trainyard in the historical district of downtown Raccoon City. During his final survey of the train's components, Will discovered that one of his coworkers accidentally sliced through a major power cable in the circuitboard.

[Will:] "Shit, what a mess. How could someone miss this huge slice in the main cable? This job is gonna take some of my time." It was well past midnight by time his shift ended, but Will was a single bachelor and did not have other obligations like family to slow his work ethic down. The metro heading towards South Raccoon Station would be out of service until tomorrow morning if Will did not stay overnight to perform the repairs.

This act of kindness would eventually be Will Sampson's undoing; as he worked late into the night and into the morning of Sept. 24th --reconnecting cables and performing standard tests to ensure the functioning of Umbrella's precious public transport system -- his work was interrupted by shrill, pained screams from a male, coming from the downtown district. In the distance, Will heard a series of sirens, followed promptly by gunshots. Picking up his tools and leftover cable, Will decides he must head towards the direction of the scream and police sirens...
