What Is The Best Backpack Mod - Fallout 76

[@mimru]

I use the grocer’s backpack, because I use nuka cola for everything, healing/rad resistance/rad removal/ etc… along with the nuka nut perk. After I got the nuka collection this build became very viable.

[@TheDrummerBear]

i didnt know there were mods on backpacks

[@talvez_priest_wow3720]

And its not just nuka cola, cofee weights a lot if you carry a lot, toxic goo to manage rads, company tea, popcorn, stimpaks if you use Born Survivor with Bloodied build. In the end of the day, if you dont use Traveler Pharmacist / Thru-hiker in one way or another (3-star gear, perks or backpackpod), you need to manage their weight on your entire playtrough. I dont wanna play a inventory managment simulator. For me on next patch: 1 point on Traveler Pharmacist / 1 point on Thru-hiker 3 UN SS pieces with Food and Chems WR / 2 UN SS pieces with WWR (same for the Union PA) 2 Bandolier 2 Sturdy Frame High Capacity Mod if i am using XP Build (that i use 50% of the time): Batteries Included Portable Power You will scrap everything anyway, incluiding legendarys. Managing just weapons and armor with 50%/40% WR is a lot easier, you will manage the same tabs that you will scrap. Having to throw away food / chems that you get all the time, its a no for me. I tried to done what he told on the video, had to keep watching how many cofee / popcorn / water / stimpacks/etc i had all the time. nukesdragons.com/fallout-76/character?v=1&s=3fa738a&d=sb0sg2s01s61p00pg2ph2pp2pi2po1ee2eu0eh2ek1cu2ce0cm2ic4ir2a80s70a04a12a32lq0l71la2lu2lk2lv2&lp=x73xa3x83x33x13x43&m=051c249fe87bad&wp=w6&wm=1g2435&ar=afu7x1abacadae&am=avm4182731-ut-x3-arl1182731-arl1182732-arl1182732-arl1182732&pa=u8uau9ucu7ub&pm=m1-1i2732-1i2731-1i2732mk-m71i2731-1i2732mk With this build, you lose just 2 perks points on Traveler Pharmacist / Thru-hiker and sits on 500 carry weight without buffs.

My problem is I am a hoarder and I generally forget how many chems I have and looked last night I had 600+ stimpacks, so if I didn't run Traveling Pharmacy I would be crushed by own healing items.

No offense but I felt the same way for the longest but given how much you get the from events or find them you’ll never need that many it took me forever to force myself to do it but you will be glad you did because I can’t imagine how much that weighs if you didn’t have anything making them weigh less 😂

[@brandonbarahona3319]

I get up to 300 stims and then start looking for noobs to dump them on lol they don't really sell and I remember needing them when I was lower leveled. Just feel bad about putting so much weight on them lol

[@Epicness560]

For Possom badges, you can also go and do dailies at both dolly sods in the mire and the kids' cabins in the toxic valley. They both give a small chance of getting a badge.

[@Drakon_games12]

I do wish the backpack mods applied to power armor I always have to change my cards around when I put on power armor because the mod doesn’t apply

[@crazy-tommy]

Because of this Thru-Hiker and Traveling Pharmacy are permanent perks in my build and I use the High Capacity backpack + Unyielding + Underarmor + Deep Pocket mods to offset the carry weight bonus from Union power armor with Calibrated Shocks. This way I have in and out of power armor the same carry weight and almost the same maximum carry weight.

@@Ioppish Me staring at my 120 med-x I will never use, but allow to keep growing. Probably don’t need 1300 rad-away either, but hey who’s counting?

[@FissionFury]

Yeah that's the trick to learn exactly how much to carry on you. Having some basic idea can really help cut down weight and swap out perks other than weight reduction. At level 100 I was carrying 100 stimpacks and 50 radaway, but by level 200 I learnt how many I actually would need to carry and it went down to 30 stimpacks and 15 radaway. It's all part of the learning curve. But getting better armour and guns along the way definitely helped cut down those numbers. Don't underestimate the value of using vampire weapons..

[@Ioppish]

@@FissionFury I understand fully how much i need to carry. With my tank vampire shotgun build with What Rads? i need zero stimpacks or radaways or really anything aside from my psychobuff, but you see i must see the number of my horde go up.

[@JoviaI1]

Simple. If you are stealth commando, use grocers. If you're heavy gunner/melee, use chemist. If you're really good at micromanaging how much food and chems you have, use the increased capacity mod.

[@Desalater2]

i use grocers and chemist, one is perk other is backpack mod, i find with all the other weight reducing perks in my build that gave me more millage

[@raistek]

I think you are on point - if you have perk points to grab wight reduction perks than high capacity is the way to go. When you min max and don't have enough - then use combination of backpack mod + perk

700 stimpacks are effectively infinite stimpacks. Plus, if you ever want to buy junk from vendors for some reason, you have them as illiquid cash

[@matthewtaylor8876]

The design is in how player's plan their loadouts. Chemist-mod affects which remaining Strength perk cards are kept, Grocer-mod affects which remaining Agility perk cards are kept, and High-capacity-mod affects most weight reduction perk cards. How many stimpaks a player wants to carry at all times is also indicative of the average play time that player is playing for and how often they run head first into combat. I hope your discord has a discussion on how to the upcoming legendary crafting is going to change how players design legendary armor, armor mods, and perk cards are going to influence weight reduction for specific playstyles?

[@joelhodoborgas]

I do enjoy listening to new perspectives, keep it comming.

[@SophiesDriver]

I'm a stealth/sniper build who wears 4 limbs of deep pocketed secret service armor for +10 pounds carry weight each, and shielded secret service under armor for +4 strength. I wear a high capacity backpack with the BOS faction for +60 carry weight (total carry weight 120). I use ballistic and energy rifles. I have Bandolier 2 for 90% reduction in ballistic ammo, and Arms Keeper 3 for 75% weight reduction in each of ballistic and energy rifles in my perk cards. All of my weapons are Vampire. I have 5 go to rifles (two ballistic, 3 energy) and always carry 3 of them, with with between 400 and 600 rounds for each. I carry at least 30 purified water and collect and cook food on the go. I carry no more than 15 Stimpaks and no more than 5 Rad Aways. My carry capacity is 400. My carry capacity is 400 pounds and I'm over encumbered only after loot drops and collection following very popular events. Great video. Thumbs up!

[@myestro4life]

I'm similar to that. Though I do have a few heavy guns, but only rank 1 in weight reduction for them. I am currently using the Grocer backpack because I am carrying all of the pre-war food that was taking up too much space in my stash. Normally, I carry around 20 purified waters, 20 dog food, 15 stimpaks, 5 radaway, 5 diluted rad-x, one addictol, and one antibiotics/disease cure. Any excess I pick up gets sold to NPC vendors. I need to do a better job of not picking up every chem and food item I see. Especially since rifles a better way to make my 1400 caps from the vendors.

[@Chrome32526]

In defense of grocer's mod vs. the cryo freezer... Items in the cryo freezer don't stack so it's really only good for already cooked foods/drinks. When you're trying to juggle farming your rare ingredients, while trying to hit events, and dealing with other maintenance tasks, having that extra time before stuff spoils can really help.

[@Puddles117]

high capacity for me because i run ur full health vats commando build u made and i need it but personally i found the possum badges fun to get

[@Sinfee_]

Didn't know that the chemist backpack existed, now I can remove the level 3 traveling pharmacy perk card and use something else to boost my damage on my build. I'm always learning something new watching your videos.

[@dennypayne]

I only figured out yesterday that you could access stuff in your Cryo-freezer from remote stash boxes. So I've been running Grocer's because I do keep a lot of food on me for the buffs (especially Smoked Mirelurk Fillets for even more carry weight), not knowing that I could get at more virtually non-spoiling food from just about anywhere. I am going to have to re-think now though.

[@apocalypseapostle8319]

Well with the new legendary crafting system you can defend using the latter two even more, as you might be able to craft arms keeper or belted, depending on your preference, and that will free up the most egregious carryweight issue. However, getting crafting unlocked for a 3 star legendary takes time, and you have to farm up the cores as well, as you need about 300 of them just for that mod unless you are insanely lucky. Most people have jobs, so this will be a long grind period, but once you have it you are far beyond most players carryweight wise.

[@juliecox6509]

Took me about 2-3 days to get the HC backpack mod, completed archaeologist, atomics fan, backpacker, gardener, leatherworker, photographer challenges and got the remaining two badges through the dailies Operation Tidy and Stings & Things. Wasn't as difficult as I expected and as a bonus was more fun than I expected too 😁

[@anthonyleblanc9723]

Chemist is my usual goto Since you tend to find chems often it helps to stockpile em for quick caps to vendors or be a helpful medic and drop it to newbie dwellers in need

[@crazy-tommy]

Chemist's and Grocer's backpack is fine if you only play in armor to save the perks. If you also use power armor the High Capacity backpack is better as it offsets the carry capacity from Calibrated Shocks and you have more consistant carry weight in and out of power armor. I personally use Thru-Hiker and Traveling Pharmacy perks with the High Capacity backpack. Armor Plated, Insulated and Lead Lined backpacks are not very good as you get diminishing returns from stacking damage reduction. The Refrigerated backpack is just bad as it only give -50% spoil rate, which keeps your food twice as long fresh while the Good With Salt perk has -90% spoil rate so your food is 10 times as long fresh. The old camp fridges and cool boxes had the same issue of only providing -50% spoil rate. The freezer that was added a few seasons ago with -100% spoil rate is a huge improvement. The Scrap Rat backpack has a unique selling point as it decreases scrap weight by 90%, while the corresponding perk Pack Rat only gives 75% weight reduction - so the Scrap Rat backpack can be useful for ressource farming runs if you don't have Fallout 1st or for transfering ressources between characters. Regarding the High Capacity backpack it used to give up to -60 on energy and radiation reduction and it lost this penalty quite some time ago, but this was never mentioned in any patch notes. Recently I thought it might be worth reporting it as a bug as due to the leaked ghoul perks from the PTS game files it seems ghouls want a very low radiation resistance, so having a backpack that reduces it by 60 points would be a nice option to offset radiation resistance on armor.

[@alasdairvfr]

Grocer's I use for storing non-perishables more than perishables, frees up stash space. Cryofreezer stores 50 items at full weight but prevents spoilage, which is useful for brainbombs, cranberry relish, etc. I use a combo of grocers + travelling pharm, or I'd flip to chemist backpack + thru-hiker. One of the other to keep carry weight reduced. I wouldn't want to need both set of 3* perks in order to have high capacity mod. I keep no food/chems in my stash unless they are in my vendor or cryo-freezer. I end up with a ton of food/chems (gulper slurry ftw) and like to have a easy bunch of stuff to offload to vendors for caps at any time. Having a ton of loot I pick up from enemies i can just scrap right away anyway by dropping my tent, where as food/chems I'd have to drop them and leave them. Plus, food I don't need that spoils I turn into fertilizer which I always need, or use to bump my rads up for bloodied.

[@STat89]

Chem backpack for now, may be High capacity later once unlocked but the former has not failed me.

[@orthex13]

"Scrap Rat" is a mod, that was avaliable thru an event, which gives +60 carry and reduces scrap weight by 90%. Great when combined with the Pack Rat perk. I am a full health build, use the Survival Syringe and use "vampire" weapons. So dont need the other mods. You just have to wait for it to be made avaliable in game.

[@funsamgaming]

High capacity I use as heavy gunner. I only use power armor mainly for events just for extra dmg resistance, food is great for buffs also one if best way to cap your daily cap amount that and weapons. Biggest problem with cryo freezer is stash weight isn't reduced even when using perk cards and soon adds up, same with chems in stash and vendor. Have enough spare points in build to run both chem and food reduction perks.

[@bryanfaulkenburg462]

I carry alot of chems for just selling to vendors. The high capacity mod I sell for 10000 caps in my vendor often. If you become a opossum scout after that there is a chance to earn opossum points by doing the dailies Stings and Things and Operation Tidy. Campfire Tales chance is much lower I think but it is an insect part farm for Stings and Things.

[@Dinosaurman34]

I use the chemist mod as it frees up perk points. I also have the canteen mod that apparently does nothing at all

[@springnutica]

You can also get the badges from the dailies from the scout leader

[@Philip027]

Carry weight backpack gets my vote because (if you're using Thru Hiker and/or Traveling Pharmacy instead) at least that way your food/stimpak stockpiles aren't suddenly turning into a pile of bricks just because you hopped in some power armor. Would rather just use the relevant perks instead (if you even need them) to make sure those effects are active regardless of whether you're in PA or not. The refrigerator mod is only a 50% reduction compared to Good With Salt's potential 90% reduction to food spoilage rate so imo that one's not even a contender.

[@tosvus]

Thanks, I finally got the high capacity mod, and definitely prefer that. It is super weird though that I can have the same Perk build, and my Hellcat power armor has less carry capacity than just wearing my secret service armor, especially considering I am CARRYING the power armor at all times! :D :D

Working on overeaters for my pa, so I need to a bunch of food to keep my hunger/thirst satisfied for maximum effect.

[@juricarmichael2534]

A comparison and ranking list between backpack mods, armor mods and perk cards would be highly interesting. Or maybe a mixed hybrid build is the best option? And another thing: thinking about the backpack is an early thing. The first time players cannot buy at the crater vendor before they have finished the "gold" mission. If i remember it right?...

[@charleshammel8541]

I sell and see others selling high capacity mod for about 8-10k caps. If you spent an hour farming insect parts, you'd only need to go kill the radroach in the 2nd floor of the other cabin at Dolly Sods on the daily.

Plus, another reason why I can carry so much is some of the legendary effects of my arm like 20% off Kim weight or food, weight and stuff like that, but if I can save a level three per card for this backpack to do the same thing that the cards doing, and I don’t really carry that many And I can put those hurt points somewhere else that would be nice. I got a few spots I could be hitting up with my bill. I pretty much built me a heavy, gunner munition type expert or ordinances so I’m high damage at long range and short range or just clearing out a that’s awesome crowd of super mutants

[@dtuck1980]

I'm a bloody build and use auto stim and a chance to revive myself. I haven't figured out a way to not auto stim while being bloody haha. Therefore I have to have a lot of stimpaks. But combined with all the other chems, the weight would far exceed the +60 weight mod. The biggest issue, your perks should carry to your stash and don't. If they did, I'd go high capacity and store chems and food. Plus I need the perk slots.

[@MorganDeB]

Grocers is perfect for starting out because Foundation rep is easy enough to get. Mortimer in Crater won't show up til I've run a lot of rep. I do carry some chems, but never enough to weigh me down. Maybe stimpacks, but I only keep Supers. I sell normal stimpacks to the vendor. The high capacity mod is rough to get, but it is worth it. So, in this case, yes. The harder it is to get, the better it is.

[@brianrmc1963]

I think the high capacity is best if you live in power armor. The cryo freezer replaces “Good With Salt,” it does not reduce the weight. Without “Thru-Hiker,” Moonshine Jamboree alone will make you over encumbered.

I once found the high capacity backpack mod in a container in the game somewhere. I don't know if it's a very rare random drop or someone put it in there.

[@tommymulder4870]

I use the grocer mod because I like to hunt animals and cook there meat for XP. Also use a lot of Nukacola. My 15 point of agility alwasy goes to adrenaline, action boy/girl and some other vats/steald/resists perks. So I don't have enough points left for the hiker perk card.

[@StationroadRatrods]

I use at most two or three stimpaks any time I play, but I have like 500 on me at all times, and will crawl over broken glass to pick up more. I have a problem

[@Paul-ng4jx]

What I do is I take all my steam packs and I sell them for five camps each. I usually sell out pretty quick, but I get so many of them. It’s unreal, but I do a lot of donating too.

[@garyp3795]

I don’t carry food as use the cyro freezer, so I use the chemist mod as carry mostly stims, radaway and berry mentats

[@NewsFreak42]

My stash is full of lightwheight legendary weapons in order to the upcomming change of lengendary crafting, no place in stash for cams and food, so I have to carry much more stuff.

[@iexistnowhere5004]

Every vendor has a stack box to pull stimpaks from

[@goodgrief8058]

Before i even watched this video i came to the realization that i carry alot of crap i don't really need

[@Santoroz]

I try to keep stims under 50, and I still would be heavy without the 90% perk. Chems can get heavy fast.

[@chrischassey4849]

I might have to look at this, i might have Chemist and the Chem Perk on at the same time for my mule. Might need to change to High Capacity.

[@c0smickilljoy533]

I have to get my inventory under control. I have tons of food and aid. Mainly because I use them all the time. And to save room in my storage for all my armor and weapons.

[@Kastor774]

"I don't know why would you have so many chems on you" That's such a fallout 1st thing to say.

[@jackcramps6458]

Maybe because i use shotgun but i cant fathom sacrificing a perk card slot for carry capacity, i carry tons of all the different drugs so the chem backpack is nice

[@jackcramps6458]

Also idk weight reduction just seems like it can have greater worth then a flat capacity increase

[@lolwtfldr3]

I use high cap on my full health build, grocer on my commando, and chemist on my heavy gunner.

[@MrWestTek]

Very organized 👌

[@HunterStJeor]

Im grinding for the high capacity backpack mod right now, then im grinding raider rep for the cremator. Both are long grinds when i only have 2 hours a day free to play

[@whytchywooo]

My guess is that the 700 stimpack person relies on auto-stim.... they go super fast in events that way. Just a noob thought.

[@markwho7888]

I finally got my first backpack yay. but I have all the Cary perk cards and have 440 weight. I was changing my perk set up tobtrybone of these others and my weight jumped to 2041 weight. so those perks make a difference.

[@upthebet]

I run chemists, but not because I carry 700 stims. Full health commando I think of it like this, does the chemists save me 60 lbs in carry weight? Yes? Then it's better than the high capacity. I'd rather not use perk points and waste then on carry weight, so I manage my food in camp and carry all my chems on me to use as well as sell. If I was running weight reduction perks I would probably use the HCB mod too.

[@XPilotPlayer]

I keep 100 stimpacks and whenever I play I find my self with 40 or more

[@FletchinAdventures]

As soon as that health bar drops slightly, I hit the stim 😂 therefore carry a boat load

[@AMS_7_7]

I use both traveling pharmacy and thru hiker, because I have a hoarding problem and at this point there's no room in my stash for all this stuff... So anyway, high capacity for me. And I grinded all my badges before I learned you could get them from repeatable daily quests... Sigh

[@joelhodoborgas]

Grocer because i use a food for one of each existing possible food buffs all the times lol. Also agility has no free perk points for other perk cards in my build.

[@joelhodoborgas]

ill leave my WIP list here for those curious. i still need write down the stats of each food to make sure im not using 2 food for the same buff. blackberry juice Blight soup brain fungus soup/bombs + 4/7.5 int carnival pie +HP cranberry relish gourd soup(or sweetwater) mutfruit juice siltbean soup sweet tato stew tato juice tarberry juice ?test

[@Santoroz]

I run PA with weapon weight reduction mods, all chem, food, and energy ammo weight reduction perks because I got tired of constantly playing the inventory management game.

[@FissionFury]

Welcome to the world of 76 without a 1st membership. It's a weight simulator

[@An_Drew_732]

I’d like armored but at this point, I need to suck it up and grind for the large back pack before I do that.
