Apex Legends Inventory Overhaul Goes Live in System Override Collections Event

Respawn Entertainment introduces major changes to Apex Legends' inventory system in the System Override Collections event, scheduled to begin Tuesday.

The Apex Legends update, whose changes will persist after the event's end, increases each player's carrying capacity by two slots at all levels. Starting with no backpack, players will be able to carry 10 items, up from eight. Gray backpacks will carry 12 instead of 10 items, blue backpacks 14 instead of 12, and purple and gold backpacks 16 instead of 14.

The changes don't just expand inventory capacity. Certain items will have their maximum stack sizes reduced. The changes are as follows:

• Grenade stacks reduced from two to one
• Light/heavy/energy ammo stacks reduced from 80 to 60
• Syringe and shield cell stacks reduced from six to four
• Med kit and shield battery stacks reduced from three to two

The inventory changes are one piece of the much larger patch bringing the System Override Event to the game. Also appearing in the patch are a limited-time mode titled Deja Loot, an equipment type called the Evo Shield, and several balance changes both to characters and weapons.
