can't find any rucksack.

can't find any rucksack.

I played on various servers by now, have searched entire towns, armories and bunkers and find all kinds of cool stuff, but no backpack.

I say, increase the backpack drop in general. No matter what server, this appears to be an issue. There is no point for me to spawn near a cool drop zone, but with a trader on the other end of the map and without a backpack.

The backpack I can build myself is a complete joke and barely carries anything.

I am a casual player and can't spend several hours to walk to the end of the map. I think more bicycle spawns would also help.

Make one.
That's among the first things i make when i get some thread right after making a courier bag 2 minutes after touchdown.

The rucksack has the same amount of slots as the courier bag. This is not remotely enough for a solid gathering run.

As I have described in my thread (reading more than the title does help, you know).

Go to the city (Samobor) and you'll def. find one. There's also a HB spawn at the rest stop by the shipyard in Z3 - on the roof of the toilets

Wow seriously! We wiped about 6 weeks ago I spawned in c1 and went to that city found 2 school back packs carried 1 went to the airport b1-b2 found 2 assaults chopped up the 2 school back packs for bandages then made my way to the b4 trader with 2 fully looted assault bags full and bought my hikers!

Hey there OP, you can craft an improvised backpack, not the first one but the one that unlocks with basic survival, it has the excellent carrying capacity and it would benefit you greatly.

I can only find a small improvised backpack and a courier. Both hold the same amount of slots, which is not many.

You need Basic Survival skill.
If you have that, you can craft a leather backpack using 2 skins (either animal or puppet), 2 ropes, 5 rags and a sewing kit (self made or one that spawned).
This backpack has the highest package density.
Means it only takes 6 slots to store it (in a trunk or so), but has 25 slots inside (where a "Slot" means 2x2 of the small squares in an inventory,...or the size of ...a shirt, for instance)

You can pack 8 of these inside the small trunk of a Quad and make it a true inventory giant :D

If you don't have Basic Survival skill, I suggest having a look at police stations. That's where I find backpacks of all sizes mostly).

As I have described in my thread (reading more than the title does help, you know).

But that will boost you enough so you can gather materials to make the biggest craftable backpack. You only need 2 skins, 2 ropes, a few rags and a sewing kit. The quiver only needs 1 skin and a sewing kit.
Always think ahead.

Have you tried actually hunting down an animal using the bow ?

It's a lot harder and time consuming than gathering garbage and selling it to the traders lol.
If they don't make carrying capacities more accessible, the game is gonna drive off many people.

If finding a back pack is the type of thing to drive off any player this isnt the game 4 them anyway.

Theres plenty of options, yes some are harder than others but they exist. The reason starting inventory space is limited is to teach the player to make GOOD decisions.
What is important enough to keep NOW, not will i ever need it or i can sell that at the trader.
This game just gets harder and harder, forcing you to make more and more tough decisions.
Honestly if a bigger back pack is the biggest problem you have currently you have no problems.
Whats next ? Bears and wolves/dogs are to tough ?
Mechs are to hard ?
Where can i find food ?

They cant nerf all those things 4 new players, new players need to learn to step up or get rekt.

We all had to so it can be done.

It's not about " learning it " it's about wasting time. I have a job and a family, I can't sit down playing the game for 12 hours a day like you mate.

My only problem in this game in regards to playability is the lack of space in inventory. I never had issues to get food in this game nor have I ever had problems with predatory animals as they mostly run away from me anyway.

I know you go around these forums trying to force your opinion on others who criticise features of the game, but I am pretty sure developers value those kind of threads as they can use them to make the game more likable for everyone. It all comes down to money and if this game does not sell to a majority of players but to a minority of players, then this isn't a succesful business.

Now welcome to my ignore list. I am getting fed up with your passive aggressive comments on here.

[Deathwhisper]

Please stay constructive, polite and respectful of each other.

Everyone is free to express their opinion, but please do so according to the topic and without getting personal, because that serves nobody.

Everyone has their own take on how the game fits, and that's where we all differ significantly. We collect these different opinions collectively here in the forum and discuss them, the developers are also very happy to participate and actively participate.

This does not have to end in a mud fight, but should continue to take place in a civilized manner.

For my 2 cents - It was easy to construct the courier bag.
Not long after spawning I found a hiking backpack and a regular backpack in a village, then looted the nearby police station and found another hiking backpack.
This was Aug 11.
