Backpacks and possum badges

[Lord of Cinder]

I finally got to the chore of collecting possum badges for a backpack.

The way I see it, the refrigerator backpack is the best, because food spoils very quickly and I don't want to waste 3 points in luck just for that. Constant cooking is very annoying. I heard that the refrigerator backpack is bugged, however. Is that still true or is it fixed?

What would you recommend for a backpack if not the refrigerator one? Chemist seems superior, imho, to all the possum options, but then again you have Traveling pharmacy. The bad part about Chemist is that once you enter power armor it is disabled which makes Traveling pharmacy mandatory if you want to use PA?

if u use Power Armor , ur back pack dosn't work. so u need perk wich back pack modyfication give u , also u lose 60 pounds , so yeah , enjoy.
also chemical one is best if ur going with heavy weapon , more stimpacks the better.

It all depend to your gameplay ... ! Me I love to have plenty of food/drink to choose from so I have choosen the "Grocer" mod ... . And yes, I have to manage with Perk Cards when in Power Armor ... ! And nothing in the Stash Box too in Aids (equiped with Travelling Pharmacy) and Foods/Drinks ... .

Honestly i tried, and i built up the refridgerated option as well, but for now just switched back.

Option 1: "Good with Salt 2" - 2 points of luck still better than the back pack, plus grocers backpack (food weight).

Option 2: "Thru Hiker 3" -3 points of agility, plus refridgerated back pack. Might use thru hiker 2, e.g. with a food weight reducing piece of armor, however it might become a tight spot with the chinese stealth suit, due to the backpack mod resulting in a lower carry capacity. Might check this some time, but i scrapped most cards again to upgrade ammo factory (lvl 400+).

The problem is, that i am running a lower strenght (legendary 2 + 5, currently all weight reducing Pharmacy 3, Bandolier 2, Armor perk 2) char with no bloodied/unyielding. So the refridgerated backpack mod reduces the backpack capacity and i end up inferior. So i made this an option (3 perk points and 1 lbs for the backpack...), but usually run the "Good with salt 2" ploy.
