📋 About This Mod
The current version of this mod is 1. 0.
The problem
DUSTs Backpack Huge incures penalties, with one of the worst not even being part of its stats: In 3rd person it'll take about half of the screen. I'm not much of a 3rd person player, but if I switch perspective, I'd like to see substantially more than mostly my backpack. Especially, if the backpacks capacity in DUST doesn't relate well to its monstrous size.
This solution
This very tiny 'mod' simply replaces the visual appearance of the Backpack Huge in DUST with that of the Backpack Large, while leaving the stats untouched.
Making this change manually without this mod is trivial, but this way it's even easier to apply and undo without adding more clutter and manual changes to remember.
