Backpacks

Loading Screen Tips

If a character keeps food in his backpack then it will be automatically shared with the rest of the squad.

Backpacks are carrying equipment worn on the back. When equipped, it gives the unit extra space, and depending on the bag, the ability to stack Trade Goods that normally would not stack, but at the cost of combat stats.

Backpacks are obtained differently depending on their category. Normal Backpacks are widely for sale in Travel and Repairs Shops. Thieves Backpacks are sometimes found at normal Travel Shops but are also sold by Shinobi Traders. Animal Backpacks are sold by Travel Shops, Farm Shops and some independent animal traders. The bigger Traders Backpacks and Shopkeepers Backpacks are not for sale and can only be obtained by robbing a shopkeeper.
