Backpacks

Backpacks provide additional inventory slots for your survivors.

About Backpacks

Backpacks are essential items for looting. They provide you extra inventory slots so you can carry more stuff at once, however it also weighs down your character, so picking the right backpack for the right character and occasion is crucial. There are 5 main backpack types and several unique ones in the game. The main types are the following:

• Small Backpack
• Standard Backpack
• Large Backpack
• Ultralight Pack
• Hiking Pack

All of these types can be found while scavenging and differ in weight and provided inventory slots.

Since Update 11 the backpacks' color scheme is mentioned in their name. With this addition you can tell one backpack from another without the need to equip them.

A heavy-duty high-capacity backpack; good for supply runs, but murder on the shoulders.
