Backpack
The Backpack in Team Fortress 2 is a player's personal inventory, allowing for storage for all in-game items. Items are kept in individual slots and can be viewed, moved or deleted from within the backpack interface. Items are displayed as pages, with each page displaying 50 items.
The backpack was introduced to the game with the first unlockable items from the Gold Rush Update in April 2008, with its initial storage capability being only 50 items. The storage size has since been increased on multiple occasions, and as of the Australian Christmas Update in December 2010, the backpack now consists of 300 slots (or 6 pages). The Australian Christmas Update also introduced the Backpack Expander tool, enabling the addition of 100 more slots per use to a total of 1000 backpack slots.
Items, when moved within the backpack, will make a distinct sound. Some items have unique sound effects, such as Ze Goggles, which make a sound that resembles the goggles turning on and off. Noise Makers will play their sound effects.
