Is there a way to increase backpack size without launching the game?

[0lafe]

Title pretty much says it all. I've googled it, but haven't had much luck. Wondering if anyone has a method that would work. I need more space for some trades of tf2 keys, but I can't launch the game. I've seen the backpacks and upgrading to premium options, but all of them seem to be done in game. Wondering if there's an alternative I can use. Thanks for any advice

Buy a backpack expander. They cost about less than a key on backpack.tf

Yeah thats been my issue. I have an M1 mac which makes playing most games very difficult.

Sell Mac, buy actual PC

I have a desktop I built, but that's not really something you can take with you. When I'm traveling I only have my laptop with me

you're out of luck, hate to be the bearer of bad news.

you're just gonna have to wait until you get home to be able to use the backpack expander. in the mean time you already have it so it shouldn't be much of an issue to play other games that work on apple silicon.

You don't buy a laptop with keys, you buy it with money. Selling Mac laptop gives you money, use money to buy actual laptop.

;-; well thanks for the definitive answer. Alternatively do you have any tips on how I can remove some of these default items from my inventory? https://i.imgur.com/jLcxUOu.png

I just need 44 free slots, but these lower my base 50 to 36

Do not delete any non-weapon achievement item unless you want to lose them forever. Weapons are common drops, you'll get them again by playing. Also do not delete the haunted strange cosmetic.
Edit: halloween cosmetics you can get next halloween, those can go too.

How would I go about deleting them? I don't see any options in the inventory, they just link me to the wiki. They're all non marketable/tradable.

Would I be able to get back normal achievement items by using something like SAM? Or resetting my tf2 progress all together?

The only way to get rid of them is in game. You go to your backpack, right click on the item, delete. If your items were tradable you could trade them to a friend or alt without opening the game.

You can only get these items once per account. If you delete any of them, they are gone. Remember than all those weapons can drop at anytime given that none of them are special, the same as halloween costumes because you can get them by completing halloween contracts, HOWEVER none of the other items will drop ever again, so keep those.

TL,DR : You can safely delete those weapons and the halloween costumes (Except the haunted strange one), but don't delete anything else.
