News - Warzone 2 - New Inventory/backpacks Guide. Warzone 2 Looting System Explained

I'm going to mute the game as well. You're on the channel for Warzone 2 DMZ and multiplayer. Anyway, jumping right in, we have Warzone 2 with a whole new backpack system. If you've played on Blackout, you'll be a little bit more aware of how this system works, but here is your inventory screen. For some people, it's a little bit much, but for most, you'll get used to it real quick.

You have basic slots for both of your weapons. You have your lethal, or actually this is your lethal, your tactical, your field upgrade, a kill streak, as well as an armor plate set, which is up to three, a gas mask or a durable gas mask, and then your self-revive slot. Your backpack is where you store additional items that do not go into or fit into your main loadout.

So for weaponry, the first thing that we're going to go with is, the or actually sorry the first thing I'm going to kind of make clear is that the two weapons that you have in your hand—those ammo types—are going to be stowed away in your inventory automatically, so that is not going to take up backpack space.

So let's say this gun is an SMG and not an AR, and it's using SMG rounds. You will be able to pick up the equivalent of one stack of SMG rounds, and that will not go into your backpack. That will just be part of your loadout as part of the weapon, and you can drop the ammo as such or actually go pick it back up.

Go, do this. You can drop some ammo, and it'll drop a stack of ammo for the gun that you were holding because that ammunition is part of the weapon; it's kind of like stowed with the weapon. Now for your backpack, any additional ammunition above one stack, which is 210 for assault rifles, so we'll use assault rifles as an example, can go into the backpack so you can carry thousands of bullets and assault rifle rounds, but it is going to take up backpack slots for you also, and in your backpack is going to be cash, which takes up space in your backpack, and any additional ammunition that you do not have for any equipped weapons, so let's say you have a sniper on your team.

You can have a stack of sniper rounds in your backpack for your friendly sniper to go and share with your teammate, or just in case if you manage to pick up snipers later in the game, they are also upgradeable. So note that you can pick up medium and large backpacks, so these six slots are not the end-all, be-all, so, basically, if nothing fits down here, it goes in the backpack.

So let's say you want a UAV; it's going to go in the UAV slot, and any additional UAVs will go into this backpack. Same thing with silver gas and masks; you can save them all for your teammates, and you can even put a backpack inside a backpack to save that for your teammates. Now here's the big one.

You have two things in the game: a satchel and armor-plated satchels, which do not work at all like they do in war zone number one. A satchel will only give you the third slide of armor if you look at the bottom half of the screen or the bottom left of the screen, where I have two plate slots. The third plate slot is unlocked with a satchel.

The satchels do not store any type of plate in them; actual plates are in your inventory. If the only thing you're doing is holding a satchel for a teammate who might need it later, your best bet is to keep stacks of armor plates, and that will stack on top of the main stack of plates that you have, so you can have like 12 armor plates at any given time, so you might only see three on the bottom left, but you're just going through a singular stack of armor plates and working your way through, and it's going to constantly take it out of your backpack to meet the game so it's not too loud, so that's how Self-revives works.

You can save them and put them in your inventory. There is just a constant swap between this inventory and this main loadout; it works the same for all weapons. Basically, they're going to store their own ammunition, and for the most part, you're not. You can even swap between a Molotov and, say, a Semtex that you keep inside your backpack.

So yeah, guys, that's the Bare Bones Basics of the inventory/backpack system in a war zone. Two, just to break it down, there are upgradeable backpacks. There are backpack slots; there are personal loadout slots for your operator; any additional stuff that does not fit down here will go into the backpack; then there are satchel upgrades, which will give you a third slot for your actual armor, which will give you additional HP; and then there are stacks of armor plates; and then you could swap out as many UAVs County UAV kill streaks field upgrades.

Anything in the game that you could store in your inventory, or basically anything you could pick up that's not a gun, you could store inside of your inventory and keep going and swap between them anyways.
