Alternate Crab Pack

I have been scouring everywhere to find out where the alternate compact crab pack is located, or if it is unlocked somehow.

I know I've seen folks with a compact crab pack, but all I can find on my VEAT on the test server is the standard and custom crab pack.

I was going to use the alternate builds to have a Bane and a Crab, but if I cannot figure out how to get the smaller compact crab pack for my Bane, then I really don't want the Bane alternate build. It will look really wierd with huge dangling crab legs that he can't use.

If anyone can give me some info about how to acquire the compact crab legs for my Bane alternate build that would be very much appreciated.

Compact crab legs do not exist. Crab legs are scaled to character size, so you were probably looking at really short crabs.

Or have zero depth perpecption. I think there's an IO for that...

If one of your builds is crab spider, and the other is bane, when switching the the bane build, you will have to have the backpack but it isn't active, ie the 4 claws aren't moving around above your head, rather, they act as a small compact backpack like Stygian_Blade posted links to.

Actually, when you swap to bane spider from crab, the pack doesnt shrink.It stays extended, but if you make yourself look like a crab spider with a crab pack before selecting crab specialization, it is compacted into a small pack actually until you choose your crab spider specialization. I wish they would fix it so when i swap to bane spider spec, my legs collapse and i can swap out the pack for a cape or something. just make it so that

pseudocode!

if (class_spec == "crab")
{
backitem = "Crab_Spider_Legs";
}
elseif (class_spec == "bane")
{
backitem = "Cape";
}

or something along those lines :P (pseudo code ftw!)

Me too. I don't think I can do an alt build for a Bane w/ that stupid pack on. I mean I love the pack for the Crab build but I want a cape for my Bane build. Meh! I know it's off the known issue list but I'll keep reporting it in game anyway. Rawr?

Either that or you might have just seen a really small Crab Spider like Ash said.

Thank you very much, this is exactly what I had seen, but for whatever reason I didn't make a connection to Banes, figured since it looked exactly like the crab pack only with the legs compacted in, that it was a Crab pack. I appreciate the clarification.

Was a simple question, was there really a need for the swipe?

That's a costume piece for Arachnos Soldiers, so you know!
