what's your favorite backpack to use?

[chompster 171]

Hopefully they add military backpacks soon and more camouflaged bags as well because I like diversity it makes each player unique

It's a fashion thing. The damned thing doesn't match anything!

Generally speaking I'd agree with you, however i did find, matching blue cargo pants,grey tactcial shirt, and blue mountain backpack. is great urban cammo, the grey perfectly matches the grey reflective strips. for city looting it's not bad especially in the evening. but generally screw those bags haha

Hunter.  I can look backwards while running away from beanzilla.

[Silence4all 35]

Got used to the Hunting pack when I played First Person, so I run with it.

Generally I stick to the hunter or crafted bags but on occasion I like to be spontaneous and use a mmountain backpack or taloon backpack to mix things up like in my pirate tales videos I used a hunter bag the first video and a Orange mountain backpack the second

I love the SMERSH packs. How much gear do you REALLY need to carry?

 

1x extra drum mag

1x canteen

1x first aid kit filled with rags and 1 splint

plus food, compass, sewing kit and other misc items.

[Deathlove 2286]

Well for ENTRY lvl backpacks the Craftable ones are the BEST if you cant find the regular synthetic back packs. From there i would say the Mountain civilian backpacks to be the BEST so far for lots of reasons. HOWEVER im really looking forward to trying the SPOSN packs and the Smersh back pack with the vest when it becomes more available.

Well there are LOTS of things in game you could consider essential so to speak so thats more of a grey question at best. I find myself ending up carrying more than what i need because more often times I end up using it.

 

Often times i try to save a spot for the SMG's because i find them to be BETTER than pistols at close range when fighting the zombies at times. MP5K is truly a monster once you can find one or two mags to go with it.

Any backpack that isn't the mountain pack.  I play first person servers and not being able to see over your shoulder is a major crutch with that pack.

[JackyCTV 54]

I love the hunters backpack, but I sometimes I take the mountain for the small amount of extra slots it gives

[evil koala 22]

Hunter. Its the largest pack one can use and still see over their shoulder.

[Jack the Ripper 1]

Same here.

 

Hunter is the best backpack of all.

[harteman 155]

Prefer everyone not me and my crew wear mountain backpacks, or if none are available, taloon backpacks.  It makes spotting you infinitely easier.  Nothing says "look at me" like a red mountain backpack.  Nothing says "I am carrying useful shit" quite like a mountain backpack either.

[doctorwhy 157]

I'll live with the improvised until I come across a hunter.  I'll even use a taloon just until I find the rope a bag and an axe to make sticks.

I absolutely NEVER pick up the Big ass mountain backpack. that one is just heatscore that can be seen from solnichiny to the NWAF.

[karlkurtz32 59]

I like the mountain backpack but I really wish it came in more subdued colors

[Mostly Harmless 28]

The improvised boarskin backpack is my choice, as it has the same amount of slots as the Talon and is relatively flat on the back. I hope it will go nicely with Smershvest and -pack.

[TheMaxedout 57]

with the new water proof backpack on its way what do you guys think of it?

with a can of silicon I can make all the backpacks water proof.

 

I wish some of these developers would go visit an REI one day.

 

I am guessing BI is located someplace between SF and San Jose.  Go on a company trip to Mendocino or Tahoe.

Bohemia are located in Prague, Czech Republic.

 

Would be nice to have ways to improve the water resistance of items, wax, silicon, grease, they would need to come up with a system for the waterproof coating to degrade though.

 

As far as backpacks are concerned its either the improved leather or hunter for me, 

[wud 143]

Wildboar ftw
low profile plus (kinda)camo
plenty of space
who needs 10 cans of food or 4 weapons ?

depends on who you are meeting and where you are going. everyone has their own story mate. thats what makes this game fun for me. For example why do you need camo of sorts? and where do you dwell in the map?

[Calvin Candie 189]

Hunter backpack is the best camo-capacity ratio atm.

[Schweinsteiger 107]

The Hunter backpack. It's the right color and has ample space. My second favorite would be the improvised leather backpack. We need another craftable backpack option. Maybe a 30 slot improvised leather backpack made out of a cow hide, that would be great. It would look pretty awesome, depending on the color of the cow you kill.

[rodsin 7]

hunter backpack. But what i really really would like to carry is a black backpack (let me paint the hunter backpack pls)

[theevancat 94]

Hunter bag. I got rid of my bright mountain nag lately for it as I play with my group and adopt a more regimented, military style.

Wish I could find a SMERSH vest so I could rock the hunter bag plus the SMERSH pack. I've also heard about a new SPOSN bag, which apparently is a large military ruck.
