Backpacks
Backpacks are the main container on raid. The bigger the backpack, the more loot you can haul out — and the more of your own gear you can bring in. Backpacks support bag-in-bag (nesting), but note that Zac's task items must sit in the outer backpack to count for delivery.
Backpack List
| Backpack | +Slots | Grid | Weight | Base Price |

The +Slots column is the effective capacity bonus the backpack adds over your baseline inventory grid.
Picking a Backpack
- Scrap Bag — your default starter bag, topped up from the Trash Can. Small but free.
- Yellow / Red School Backpack — cheapest sellable upgrade at 60 $. Use it until you can afford a military pack.
- Small Military Backpack — the best early weight-to-capacity trade at 4 kg / +25 slots.
- Travel Backpack — big grid (4×2) at moderate weight; good for low-combat looting runs.
- Medium Military Backpack — the sweet spot for mid-game: +36 slots / 6 kg.
- Extra Large Backpack — +48 slots for the biggest hauls. Heavy, so pair with a light vest and low-weight weapons.
Purchase
- Yellow School Backpack — 120 $ from the Consumables Trader (available from the start).
- Higher-tier backpacks are found as loot on Rebel / Renegade bodies and in containers across the maps.
Bag-in-Bag Rules
- You can nest backpacks inside other backpacks to conserve grid space.
- Items stored in an inner backpack are not valid for Zac's task deliveries. Keep task items in the outer backpack.
- Nesting can hide valuables from quick-glance inspection, but does not reduce weight.
Tips
- Run a small, cheap backpack on early-game raids — you lose less when you die.
- Once you hit Level 5+, upgrade to a Medium Military Backpack and commit to consistent raids.
- The two "color variants" (Yellow/Red, Desert/Black) are functionally identical — pick the one you find first.
