V3.3.0 EXP

/ Settembre 24, 2026/ 7 Days to Die

A lack of inventory space got you down survivor?

Well, worry no more with the new Bigger Backpack system!

Craft, loot, or buy your way to a bigger inventory today!

V3.3.0 also introduces a new inventory grid size of 8×6.

That’s 4 rows of free to use slots and 2 rows of encumbered slots.

A total of 48 slots which is 3 more slots than the legacy 9×5 grid.

Backpacks come in Small, Medium and Large sizes with 6 quality levels each.

Equipping a backpack into the new Backpack slot will grant the player additional encumbrance slots up to a total of 96 slots in an 8×12 grid.

The Pack Mule perk and Armor Pocket Mods can then remove the encumbrance.

Here is how you participate:

  1. Right click on the game in steam

  2. Click on properties

  3. Click the “Game Versions & Betas” tab

  4. The drop down menu will have latest_experimental available <— you want THAT

  5. Select that and wait for the game to download

Two issues:

1: On dedicated servers, picking up a vehicle currently deletes anything stored in it. Please empty your vehicle before picking it up. We are working on a fix. 

2: A player’s weapon can be bugged if they die during reloading. Should this happen to you, here is how you can solve this:

  1. Change toolbelt slot

  2. Open inventory

  3. Start scrapping the affected weapon, then cancel immediately (don’t let it finish) 

  4. Move that weapon to backpack or another toolbelt slot to fix it

We are working to get a fix for this to you asap.
