Field Sample Pack

Field Sample Pack is a large, heavily insulated field backpack designed to safely carry hazardous samples and materials. Its construction emphasizes thermal and radiological isolation, featuring multiple dedicated radiation containment slots that provide complete shielding for items sensitive to contamination or that emit ionizing radiation. The pack is presented in-game as the standard container for field teams and researchers who must move dangerous specimens between collection sites, laboratories, and storage facilities without exposing personnel or the environment.

The pack’s defining traits are its size and its containment architecture. It is described consistently across sources as both large and highly insulated, which makes it suitable for bulky collections or multiple discrete samples. The multiple radiological compartments are intended to segregate and immobilize radiological sources during transport, preventing cross-contamination and minimizing ambient exposure. Its insulation also contributes to maintaining sample integrity against temperature fluctuations during field operations.

Practical use and strategy: when moving hazardous materials, the Field Sample Pack is the recommended container to ensure operator safety and chain-of-custody integrity. Use it to group radiation-emitting samples in separate containment slots rather than carrying single items loose; this reduces the risk of accidental exposure and simplifies handling at handoff points. The pack’s size makes it convenient for extended sorties that require bringing back several specimens or larger objects from the field. Field teams deploy this pack for both routine sample collection and for missions that involve hazardous waste, radiological sourcing, or transport of unstable materials that require isolation.

Operational considerations and tips:

• Place radiological or otherwise hazardous items into the dedicated containment slots rather than general compartments to maintain shielding benefits.
• Use the pack as part of a two-stage transfer: collect samples into the pack in the field, then move them to a decontamination or storage area where specialized containers or instruments can be applied.
• The pack’s insulation helps protect temperature-sensitive samples during transit; avoid exposing the pack to extreme heat or fire which could compromise its shielding.
• When handling loaded packs, follow standard safety procedures for contaminated cargo: limit close contact time, maintain distance where possible, and use appropriate personal protective equipment while transferring items.
• Because the pack is intended for hazardous material transport, treat it as regulated cargo during transport and storage: label contents clearly and follow any in-game protocols for hazardous shipments.

Field Sample Pack functions as a practical, mission-oriented item that bridges field collection and secure laboratory handling by combining capacity, insulation, and compartmentalized radiological shielding into a single transport solution.
