| Internal name | Id.Item.Pouch, Id.Item.SmallBackpack, Id.Item.BPAK_005, Id.Item.MediumBackpack, Id.Item.BPAK_006, Id.Item.LargeBackpack, Id.Item.BPAK_007 |
A backpack adds a grid of storage slots for items. The Pouch is free, and each bigger bag costs more and holds more slots. The bags with a sling, which also add a slot for a weapon or special item, are on the Sling Backpacks page.
Overview
The standard backpacks differ in price, grid and slot count. The shop text gives the grid for each one. The Pouch is the only bag with a placement rule: it only allows vertical placement. The Halftrack Backpack is also in the data, but the shop hides it.
How it works
| Backpack | Price (cash) | Grid | Slots | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pouch | 0 | 3 x 2 (vertical placement only) | 6 | 0.3 |
| Scout Backpack | 350 | 4 x 2 | 8 | 0.5 |
| Field Backpack | 650 | 6 x 2 | 12 | 0.8 |
| Operator Backpack | 800 | 5 x 3 | 15 | 0.88 |
| Assault Backpack | 1,200 | 5 x 5 | 21 | 1.3 |
| Ruck Backpack | 1,600 | 6 x 4 | 24 | 1.5 |
| Halftrack Backpack (hidden in the shop) | 15,000 | 6 x 5 | 30 | 2.78 |
The weight is in kilograms. The game stores item weight as a whole number 1,000 times the kilogram figure, so the kilogram value here is derived from it. The item data draws some bags with a different grid shape from the shop text, for example the Scout Backpack. This page uses the shop text.
The Halftrack Backpack has no price in the shop and cannot be bought there. The game files show no vendor, loot table or unlock that gives it, so how it can be obtained is not in the data.
The data gives no other effect for the standard backpacks. The number of slots is the only stated benefit.
Season 2 changes
No Season 2 change to the standard backpacks is listed in the data.
