For those new to the game or returning after a long hiatus, it’s essential to acquire a backpack to increase your carrying capacity. Backpack crafting requires specific materials such as cloth, leather, and steel, which can be obtained through looting and exploration. Once you have the materials, you can craft a backpack at an armor bench.
As you level up, invest in crafting better versions of the pack that offer increased weight capacity. New players likely encountered the backpack plans in the Overseer’s Camp, so make sure to activate them in the ‘Notes’ section of your inventory. It’s worth noting that backpacks cannot be worn while using power armor.
To obtain a larger backpack with even more storage space, embark on the questline. While it takes time to complete, it’s a worthwhile investment for carrying all your essential items in the vast wasteland of Fallout 76.
