Why Backpacks Matter
Inventory slots cap loot per Trap House run and studio payout. Running out mid-robbery wastes time — **Drake bag ($700)** is the community first upgrade after construction savings.
Bank robbery requires **duffle bag** specifically for cash stacks — separate from Drake bag general use.
Drake Bag ($700)
Best early-game general backpack. Buy after hitting construction level 12 rhythm ($1,200/block). Enables longer trap routes before banking dirty money.
Listed on Essential Items as mandatory day-two purchase.
Duffle Bag
Required for Bank Robbery alongside C4 and ski mask from Drip Store. Do not attempt vault without it.
Purchase during same shopping trip as ski mask to minimize NYPD exposure.
Other Bags
Starter default bag holds minimal loot — replace ASAP. Gamepass inventory boosts stack with Drake bag per Gamepasses.
Inventory Tips
Drop consumables before buying new bag if at cap. Organize: weapons, tools, masks in fixed slots for fast Bank Robbery guide swaps.
