Armed Assault Wiki

The Carryall Backpack is a multi-faction backpack in ArmA 3.

Overview[]

Possessing the highest storage capacity (320 "mass"[CfgVh 2]) of any backpack other than the Bergen, the Carryall is commonly used by military ammo bearers and assistant gunners to store additional rockets/grenades for heavy weapons soldiers.

However, with an unloaded "mass" of 60 units[CfgVh 1], it is significantly heavier than most backpacks. Carryall users will always incur a fairly significant penalty to their stamina in addition to the weight from whatever munitions are being carried.

Trivia[]

  • The in-game Carryall is modelled after the real-world "Tortilla" backpack (specifically the "45L" version).[1]
    • Considering the Tortilla's origins as a Russian-made backpack[1], its usage by American (NATO) forces in ArmA 3 is somewhat odd given that there are many American equivalents already in use throughout the real-world U.S. military.
  • The Green Hex variant was not originally available upon ArmA 3's release and was only added with the Apex expansion.[2]
    • On the other hand, the Woodland MTP, Taiga, Green, and Geometric variants would only be included after the release of the Contact expansion.[3]
The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.
  • Arma3-backpack-carryallbackpack-06
    The Backpack Pile object contains textures for cyan, red, and orange-coloured backpacks. However, these textures are not standalone and must be separated from the model's texture to be utilised properly in a custom addon.
    • The (then-unused) Black texture was eventually added with the release of Game Update 2.12.[4] However, no other texture variants were included alongside the patch.
