Backpacks provide additional inventory spaces on top of your standard ones, at the cost of movement speed. Currently, these can only be accessed in the Inventory screen, and not in the Marketplace/The Yard/Storage. All backpacks cannot be looted in the Inner City, and must be crafted.
Backpack can be mastercrafted or godcrafted at The Yard, granting an additional +1 to +3 (GC) slots. When Mastercrafting, there is a 80% chance to get +1, 19% chance to get +2 and 1% chance to get +3. It takes $5,000,000 to Godcraft a backpack.
Backpacks can only be unequipped if there are no items inside them, and large backpacks cannot be swapped out for a smaller one if the new one does not have enough slots to hold existing content.
