Free up extra spot in backpack by having the Jump Pack on the character screen. It would free up a spot in our Backpack.

Now the thing is - how would you be able to activate it once it was on your character like you can do now when its in backpack?

Maybes a double click will activate it, with a confirmation of use before used?

He basically wants you to be able to equip the item into a slot, and utilise it without moving it to your backpack.

I will keep this in mind when I update the backpack. The solution is to provide support for activating equipped items (can be dangerous, as most of them get destroyed after one use), or increase the backpack space.

There is talk of a player item vault too, so we'll have to wait and see where all of this leads
