Backpacks in DayZ are as important as ammo and food. More important actually, since you need one to carry more then 12 of anything. However, it's always a battle when deciding what items you need to let go, in order to put that super cool weapon you just found at the heli crash site into your already cramped pack. My Suggestion: Duffel Bag The duffel bag is similar to a backpack in that it takes up the backpack slot and you can carry things inside. However, this duffel bag is a carried generally for a single purpose; To carry more then 1 (or 2, with the gosh darn coyote pack I can never seem to find) weapons at a time. It would act similar to a tent in having lets say, 4-5 weapon slots for you to place guns you find in, and maybe 10 or so normal item slots for food/ammo/gear. (Yea, Kinda got the idea from Episodes 2-4 of TWD, my bad.)
