16XS Base Pack

The 16XS Base Pack is a Deluxe rarity backpack that adds 16 extra inventory slots, bringing runners to a total of 32 carry slots and representing a substantial leap in looting power over the 8XS tier. Available through the CyberAcme faction's Carrier+ upgrade at Rank 15 for 4,000 Credits, it is widely considered the sweet spot for most runners: enough capacity to haul meaningful loot without becoming an overly lucrative target for enemy squads scanning your inventory size. The Base Pack variant carries no specialized passive bonus, making it a flexible general-purpose option equally suited to weapon-heavy, consumable-heavy, or loot-focused playstyles.
