I must introduce myself, I am Ctrl, a Wicked Enjoyer.
Tell me - can you feel it? That lack of inventory space?

Hello everyone,
In the spirit of The Breach, my excitement for the game is at an all time high, which brings me back here, the Forums. Today’s topic ; making Inventory management accessible earlier while also following established game mechanics and logic. I am referring to none other than our loyal survival game best friend ; Back packs.

We have an array of tiered tools that works as you would expect ; Tier 1 resources to craft Tier 1 Tools and so on. So why don’t we also bring Back Packs to this list? We just so happen to have 2 empty tool slots for future additions.

Here is how the current inventory looks like from the moment you wash ashore on Sacra’s beach.

Soft Spoiler, Thomas has shown us tools tier up to tier 6, most likely the last tier. Which is why I provided those as well, here’s the Watering can for a future farming update he shared with us :

That’s it for this topic,
Let me know if this solution is something you’d like to see introduced, this topic became of the upmost importance to me when I saw that we would now need to use 5 of our precious Ichors to increase our max amount of Combat heals from 5 to 10 per combat, making inventory spaces drop in priority, thus extending the hours of gameplay where inventory management will be a nuisance to the player. In a perfect future, I’d want Ichor to be much more rare but also serve a meaningful purpose. Those 3 ring slots and equipment slots should be unlocked from the start, as weapons are already soft lock through the weight classes, and rings are simply quite rare to begin with.

Ichor being used for upgrading your amount of usable heals is a great idea, if they can introduce an additional equally meaningful Ichor upgrade, those previous options could finally be given to the player differently.. Like this Back Pack idea.
