8XS Base Pack

The 8XS Base Pack is the entry-level backpack in Marathon, adding 8 extra inventory slots to your baseline carry capacity and bumping your total to 24 slots. As a Standard rarity item, it is the most accessible backpack in the game and serves as the default upgrade for runners just beginning to build out their loadouts. It carries no specialized passive bonus, making it a straightforward general-purpose expansion suited for any playstyle. While it cannot match the capacity of Deluxe or Superior alternatives, the 8XS Base Pack is an affordable and reliable stepping stone before you unlock higher-tier bags through the CyberAcme faction progression system.
