V3.3.0 EXP – b18 Update

A lack of inventory space got you down survivor?

Well, worry no more with the new Bigger Backpack system!

Craft, loot, or buy your way to a bigger inventory today!

V3.3.0 also introduces a new inventory grid size of 8×6.

That’s 4 rows of free to use slots and 2 rows of encumbered slots.

A total of 48 slots which is 3 more slots than the legacy 9×5 grid.

Backpacks come in Small, Medium and Large sizes with 6 quality levels each.

Equipping a backpack into the new Backpack slot will grant the player additional encumbrance slots up to a total of 96 slots in an 8×12 grid.

The Pack Mule perk and Armor Pocket Mods can then remove the encumbrance.

1. Right click on the game in steam

2. Click on properties

3. Click the “Game Versions & Betas” tab

4. The drop down menu will have latest_experimental available <— you want THAT

Known issues:

1. On dedicated servers, picking up a vehicle currently deletes anything stored in it. Please empty your vehicle before picking it up.

2. Equipment changes with 3 or more players connected in a game can cause players to be dropped.

3. A player’s weapon can be bugged if they die during reloading.

4. Reading a magazine when it is the last stack on the toolbelt via left clicking can cause a NRE.

5. Muzzle Flash is currently missing.

6. MP: actively used chest being upgraded will not update its size.
