Mysterious Backpacks

[Sam]

The last 2 days I've played, I've been finding "mysterious" backpacks to loot in my game.
Monday, I found 3 by the saw mill (returned from Geothermal Valley) and 1 (oops, brain farted & can't remember now). I got a message with the 1 I can't remember that stated "Thumper" with 3000 credits.
Any clue why?

3000 Credits? You find them randomly across all the maps? I think know what those are:

They are "backpacks" left by "friend" Laras. I mean, if you have a "friend" who plays the game, and they "die" in the campaign, they apparently leave a "backpack" behind for "friends" to find in their campaigns. I'm not entirely sure how this "activates" or quite honestly how it works, but that's the best theory I have.

Look at this post I linked below, and the one 2 posts above it, it might explain what you're finding:

Thats interesting you found that. I've also discovered new items in my game. But nothing in the way of a backpack. I'll look more after I get out of this next fire fight.
