Backpacks in Kenshi are not necessary to wear, unless you decide to travel to ancient labs and libraries, which might contain ancient science books, AI cores, and Engineering Research. They are also ideal for money-making if you decide to steal stuff from shopkeepers. Let’s start with our first backpack:
5. Small Thieves Backpack
I’ve seen girls at my high school wear similar backpacks…
These tiny backpacks are made for those who want to steal a few valuable items and quickly sell them to their trader in the Shinobi Thieves guild. This backpack is also useful during combat, you won’t receive any debuffs.
What makes this backpack great:
- Doesn’t worsen your stealth capabilities
- Combat abilities also don’t worsen
- Looks cute <3

4. Thieves Backpack
Slightly bigger than the previous backpack!
A backpack that allows you to carry more items and you can buy it in general/traveling shops in New World or at one of the Shinobi Thieves towers(for a 50% discount!)
It’s lovely, allows you to have 10x14 tiles of space, and doesn’t make you noisy at all while sneaking around in Sonorous Dark as a human!
What makes this backpack great:
- Better than a medium backpack.
- Petty penalties
- Weighs only 2 kilograms

3. Trader's Wooden Backpack
It’s that hiver in the middle!
This is a unique backpack as it allows you to stack items on top of one another. Sure, it hinders your stealth combat speed, but at least it makes you look cool and makes you carry more stuff than most backpacks in the game. Seriously, this backpack looks cool and unique!
What makes this backpack awesome:
- The sun shader looks cool. Don’t think that it gives you any buffs!
- Allows you to stack items
- Cheap(800 cats)

2. Scavenger's Basket
For beginners!
This backpack is lovely for players who have just begun playing Kenshi and need to store their essential backpacks, such as a couple of copper ores and a few food items. This backpack can be worn by farmers in the Holy Nation territories, but also purchased in many traveler shops!
What makes this backpack great:
- You can loot it off of the corpses of the Holy Nation farmers.
- Cheap as hell in shops, around 200 cats
- Newbs best friend!

1. Large Backpack
The description of this item will save your life…
This is a perfect backpack for late-game players. It’s perfect if you want to carry multiple items at once and can also be used for leveling up your strength(just pack the backpack with like 50 iron ores and walk back and forth in The Hub). It’s perfect if you want to carry large amounts of goodies that you’ve found in the ancient labs, workshops, and all the other facilities filled with evil robots - good luck carrying all of that though!
What makes this backpack great:
- Great for boosting up your strength(carrying a hellton of iron ore!)
- Offers the largest amount of space(12x20 tiles)
- Used only by chads!
