How do I even backpacks?

Seriously. I have no idea how to open the bloody things. I don't even keep my fresh-spawn one usually.

Press "g" on your keyboard, then click you backpack, and on the lower right hand side, click "open". :)

You have to open your gear and press on your backpack. Then it says "open backpack" instead of "rearm".

Backpack not inventory.

I tried that already and it just flashed my inventory screen again.

It will list the objects in your backpack as well as those in your inventory. The items with quantities listed on the left-hand side are in your backpack, and those listed on the right-hand side are in your main inventory. Click on the left and right arrows to move items between your inventory and pack.

When you are looking at a loot pile or item on the ground opening your backpack is slightly different in that it lists the items on the ground on the left-hand side and those in your pack on the right. You'll get used to it, don't worry, lol. :)

I had a bug the other night where pressing g made my inventory flash up and was gone again. For me it was caused by being in between tables in a cafe in taki. Moving to a less cluttered area fixed it

To open the inventory is simple all you have to do is stand on one leg, flail your arms uncontrollably and sing an optimisitic, upbeat Disney song about princesses. Then a sprite will deliver you a backpack before disappearing in a cloud of sparkles.

Don't forget to tickle the backpack and say the magic phase 3 times or you won't be able to open it.

It's G if you have default key bindings, otherwise check your settings.

lol.

As other have said, open your Inventory (ususally with the G key) and double click your backpack (my preferred method). Nothing will really change, but you'll have two numbers now above the items list on the left sepcifing Available and Maximum space. Your default backpack will say (8/8) above the items list when you open it, and the first number will decrease respectively as you add items into your backpack. When your backpack is open you'll move items to and from it just like you would when looting a pile.
