Haversack SDU

Playthrough ane

The Backpack SDUs each offer three additional slots of storage capacity. Each one is gained as a reward for completing one of the ten Claptrap Rescue Missions, for an extra xxx spaces of storage that can be earned throughout the game to a total chapters of 42 on the first playthrough.

With the addition of the Zombie Isle of Dr. Ned, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx and Claptrap's New Robot Revolution DLC there are an boosted three Claptrap Rescue Missions to complete.

Completion of Claptrap Rescue: Lockdown Palace in The Hole-and-corner Arsenal of General Knoxx has a run a risk of rewarding a Backpack SDU in playthrough 1 and is not guaranteed.

In summary after completion of playthrough ane and the DLCs there is a guaranteed total backpack capacity of 48, with a maximum possible chapters of 51 (if Claptrap Rescue: Lockdown Palace provides a backpack SDU).

Playthrough two

In one case players complete the story playthrough one, the higher difficulty playthrough ii will allow them to repeat the Claptrap Rescue Missions for more Haversack SDUs.

Unlike the start playthrough, only the beginning five of these missions (in the Sledge's Condom House, Lost Cave, New Oasis, Tetanus Warren, Earl's Scrapyard locations) offer a chance of getting an extra SDU when completed. This tin take several tries from either exiting without saving or loading from a backup file because the SDU advantage is not 100% guaranteed.

These additional Backpack SDUs are often referred to as glitches by players in Borderlands community forums. Gearbox has not released whatever information confirming the additional SDUs to be glitches and they appear to exist intentional 'bonus' SDUs that players take a gamble of obtaining. The appearance of the intentional nature of Playthrough 2 SDUs is the PC-confirmed program code that deliberately increases the chances of obtaining these 'random' SDUs if characters accept less than 42 inventory slots already, or has more inventory slots filled when turning in the mission for the reward. Not completing the missions in the kickoff playthrough does non touch on the chance of getting an SDU on the second playthrough.

Maximum Total Capacity

The original total maximum inventory slots is 57 on the game disc lone after completion of both playthrough 1 and ii, but with the release of the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, which includes an boosted Claptrap to save, backpack capacity can exist increased to 63. The two additional SDUs can be gained by accessing the DLC from each chief game playthrough (1 per playthrough).

In The Cloak-and-dagger Armory of General Knoxx, the Claptrap in Lockdown Palace has a hazard to reward a Backpack SDU in Playthrough ane (much like playthrough 2 in the regular game), bringing the latest inventory maximum to 66. Playthrough 2 has non nonetheless been seen to advantage some other backpack upgrade.

Furthermore, Claptrap's New Robot Revolution features an additional guaranteed 2 SDUs to collect throughout the ii playthroughs. This increases the total possible inventory infinite to 72 slots after completing both playthroughs and accessing the DLCs on each playthrough.
