What it does
The Sling Bag is the natural upgrade from a Foliage Bag. It holds the same 4u, but raises encumbrance reduction from 25% to 40%, frees a hand slot and lasts 50 minutes. The recipe is one Foliage Bag, one String and two Rope at INT 7.
Because any condition of Foliage Bag works in the recipe, a nearly broken bag can be turned into a fresh Sling Bag. That makes the Sling Bag a repair option as much as an upgrade. It remains useful until a Backpack or Jetpack is available.
Effects and usage
- 4u capacity and 2.5u max weight per item.
- 40% encumbrance reduction.
- Worn in the back slot, freeing a hand.
- Craftable at INT 7 from a Foliage Bag, String and 2 Rope.
How to get it
Craftable at INT 7; also found in storage crates and life-pods.
The recipe requires INT 7. If you are below that level, the craft can fail or disappear from the menu. See the crafting guide for the exact failure thresholds, or open the crafting calculator to check the ingredients.
Field notes
- Craft it as soon as you have a spare Foliage Bag.
- Use a worn Foliage Bag in the recipe; condition does not matter.
- Do not waste materials on a second Sling Bag if a Backpack is close.
- Keep a hand free for a light or weapon while wearing it.
