Best Way To Get 3 and 4 row backpacks?

[Dr. Superb]

I had a heartbreaking run where I found a buffalo and two fighter backpacks then died to a Shiela in the last doorway. I thought it was because I was going against the Church of Revelation but after repeating a couple of runs I haven't found any more.

So anybody know the best way to snag the better backpacks? I can handle Mercury but Venus still kicks my a$$.

hi ive seen a couple of factions offering the good backpacks i think within the 1st 3 tech levels. i forgot exactly which ones (maybe there is a bit of randomness too, but if you have a look in the faction list, maybe doing a mission for them could help). (i think fighting against factions that have it, can also add a chance of finding one on a dead enemy, and if you have a tunnel rat class, maybe sending in one of those clones can help to find it too :)

I ran a few more missions against the church and finally found another Buffalo for my Tunnel Rat. It was tense getting back to the elevator. :)

cool, more backpack slots are always nice :)
btw the capsule and upgrades are handy too

At tech level 7, Sunlight Coven has the best backpack in the game (Archangel)

go help them unlock it.

oh i need one of those
its like Fighter + Helper merged together

It is incredibly rare and expensive though (1500 credits)

but yeah, definitely the best general-purpose backpack.

3x6 slots

servo arm

50% weight reduction

...might also reduce reloading time but I forgot it if actually did.

If you want something for early game, Coreward MG gets Fighter backpack at tech level 3.

It also has 3x6 slots and 40% weight reduction, but no 3rd weapon slot and faster reloads

hmm i wonder if there is a recipe chip for actually crafting the Archangel?
maybe getting some more fighters + helpers and keeping them for later could be useful :)
