As you venture across Ava, you’ll amass a huge stock of plants, resources, and brews, but Vic’s starting backpack is limited in size, meaning you’ll be inadvertently playing an inventory management mini-game. Fortunately, bundled into the game is the option to expand your backpack capacity with backpack pockets, collectibles found across the map.
There are a total of six backpack pockets to find, scattered across the Tamura Grasslands, Nari Jungle, and Maruba Swamp biomes. The first two unlock the first backpack extension, which increases inventory size by 5 slots. The second extension, which again grants another 5 extra slots, requires another four pockets. We’ll walk you through where to find all backpack pocket locations.
Tamura Grasslands backpack pocket locations
The Tamura Grasslands are home to three backpack pockets. Below, you’ll find shots of where to find them on the map.
