Hey guys.
From what I understood from the dev stream, it sounds like inventory slots from vests/jackets/pants etc will be reduced, while backpack sizes will remain the same.
While I'm not against a reduction of inventory slots in general, I don't like this approach as it only further punishes players going low profile, either by wearing a ghillie suit or simply playing without a backpack. Playing this way already forces you to slim down and heavily consider your options but now it will be even harder.
I feel like the better option would be to reduce inventory sizes of backpacks while leaving clothes the same or at least very similar.
Of course I haven't played 1.26 yet and seen all of the size changes, but it sounds like no backpack gameplay will be extremely rough now, and anyone using a gigantic backpack will still be relatively happy.
It would be a shame if it now felt necessary to always carry a backpack and if ghillie/no backpack gameplay felt unplayable, because I do enjoy that you can currently play the game in other ways like that.
Thanks.
