Soakers with backpacks may carry a lot of water but is it really worth it to be carrying such a load? It can really slow you down in battles and could possibley take away from the fun. As you can see they haven't made backpack-soakers for a long while. I am personally undecided.

I think that maybe a backpack does give extra mobility, when I run, I'd prefer the weight on my back than in my arms. However It depends on the situation as these things always do.

I make all my homemades operate of a backpack of sorts (or at least have the ability to). I voted for backpacks due to that. I use so much water to the point where'd I refill every 10 minutes.
The mobility issue essentially doesn't exist for me as well. I use properly built frame backpacks to hold my water, and I'm pretty much the fastest guy around (11.2s 100 meter in spring track's trials this year).
I don't suppose that makes me average.

Backpack for me. Even if I use a non-backpack soaker, I wear a backpack with extra water bottles. I'm extremely agile and fast with little detrimental effects.
Although it is peacful and a beautiful place being among the stars, there is danger lurking in the shadows. That's what Alliance Command's for

I voted backpack, because I'm in the same boat as Toaster. I'm slow whether or not I have water weighing me down, but I certainly have no problem carrying eight liters of it on my back. Also, one must admit that backpack Soakers are quite intimidating, not only because people realize that refilling is more or less a non-issue, but also by the fact that backpack Soakers just look huge.Originally posted by Toaster@Mar 16 2005, 06:58 PM
backpack for me. I don't care if I have decreased mobility. I have next to none in the first place. I go for raw power whenever possible. I'm an ideal candidate for a Deathwalker, actually.

^ Ebay is the only place nowadays. I have a store near me that sells closeout stuff, last year I found a CPS 1500, a CPS 1200, and a CPS 3200!
Hey, that's funny., I thought I had a lot of weapons on me in a war, I only use a CPS 1500 and an XP 75! I can't use the 1500 though, my trigger valve keeps dying on me, and all the screws need to be drilled out.

I don't check this forum anymore.

I null voted, depends on the situation. I'm aspiring to be a heavy-fast trooper in the next war. Large CPS gun or douchenator + speed and mobility. It's not that hard, heavy guns don't slow me down, but backpacks get annoying when you run long distances. The only time I would use a backpack soaker is in a soakfest or in a battle requiring water conservation and no running.
