Backpack

[Deskath]

A suggestion, could we please start with backpack blueprint unlocked ? Coz in my run i saw ONE backpack drop. And its really hard to salvage ♥♥♥♥ when half of your gear is medicine (otherwise you just die to random poison or bleed)

You can manufacture or craft Tourist, that's a basic backpack that's unlocked

Capsule and Shuttle upgrades help with that early on untill 6x3 packs become more common.
Also stack of Sorbent and stack of Rags should be enough for whole mission. 2 stacks of sorben at its worst if things really didnt go your way.

Its fine though? Most of what you find early game is trash and you need to find out what is, and isn't useful. Being a loot hoarder will weigh you down that your dodge becomes negative which also means easier to get wounds/criticals and you use up more calories. Not sure how you die to random poisons or bleeds, its pretty obvious your guy is dying from something and rags are everywhere, perhaps you can tell us what medicines you always bring and we can tell you what you don't need so you can save some space.

There's two factions that trade the fighter backpack at the start and one that trades a servo backpack. You can either trade with them till you get it, do missions for them and see if you get it as a reward, or do both since you can cash the extra barter value from missions for a higher chance at getting the fighter backpack. You can sometimes loot it from some enemies although I'm not sure which factions have it as enemy loot. Barring that, it's not a super uncommon random loot item, but if you are dying a lot you probably won't be stockpiling enough of them to replace the ones you lose.

At tech level 2 I think one or two factions also trade the buffalo backpack but it's a fairly high trade value item if I recall.

You can get a free tourist backpack every time you die and you can craft a 2 slot vest. The Servo backpack is also dropped somewhat regularly by Coreward and Civil Resistance enemies and better vests are very common random loot items.

I see no obvious reason not to use a backpack mod, where your basic backpack have 6x4, medium backpack 6x8, big backpack 6x12, the servo backpack 6x16.

I really haven't had issues with the backpacks myself. Most contracts have plenty of the nailgun workers that carry a Helper with them. You just collect a couple of them per mission and take them with you back to base.
