How to Get Combat Bags in Mistfall Hunter

Last updated: August 2026

Quick answer: To get Combat Bags in Mistfall Hunter, send the Scavenger Squad on expeditions via Twig (roughly once an hour), spend Echo of Fate in the Season Store (3,000 per week covers the Pro and Advanced bags), and reach the Duskborn and Mistwalker tiers on the Path of Glory track. Hold limits cap you at 10 Novice bags or 5 per other type, so spend bags before farming more.

Combat Bags are preset loadouts in Mistfall Hunter. They are designed for players who want to jump into a run without manually assembling every piece of gear: using a Combat Bag automatically equips a free preset Loadout, which cannot be modified. Equipping or unequipping a Combat Bag before entering a map does not consume it — the bag is consumed once you enter the map (confirmed by launch-era guides: “The Combat Bag is only consumed when you enter a map, and successfully extracting lets you keep its equipment”). You unlock the system right after the tutorial, and every bag you own is stored in your Warehouse under the Combat Bag tab (per the Warehouse prepare guide ).

Combat Bag tiers

Combat Bags come in four standard tiers, plus a “Limited” bag and a “Custom” variant for saved personal loadouts. The four standard bags, from weakest to strongest, are Novice, Advanced, Pro, and Elite. The Combat Bag tab in your Warehouse lists five bags in total — four under the Normal tab and a fifth Limited bag (per GameRant ). A community database (mistfalldb) documents their rarities, gear values, scrap value, and reroll cost:

• The rarity, gear value, scrap, and reroll figures come from community database documentation of the pre-launch build; the gear-value tuning was confirmed at the July 29, 2026 launch. The scrap and reroll columns are published by the mistfalldb community database.
• Inventory caps: each bag type has its own cap, and any bag you hold beyond it is wasted (per Destructoid ). The Novice cap of 10 is confirmed across guides; creator gameplay breakdowns (the Combat Bags Explained guide, Aug 2026) report that you can also hold 5 of every other type (Advanced, Pro, Elite, Limited). Only the Novice figure is officially confirmed, so check your Warehouse counter before farming a specific rarity. * = figure reported by creator breakdowns, not officially published.
• Custom Combat Bags are player-saved personal loadouts. mistfalldb lists Custom entries at Common, Rare, Excellent, Epic, and Legendary rarity, with the Legendary Custom – Cataclysm bag (gear value 12,000) allowed only in Brandrgarde Cataclysm. Several Custom entries share the same name at different rarities — they are separate entries with their own values.

Which Combat Bags each map mode allows

Each map mode restricts which Combat Bags you can bring. The in-game map documentation lists the allowed bags per mode:

Because each mode also has entry requirements — Hallowgrove Normal asks for equipment quality Excellent or lower, Hallowgrove Chaos for equipment value 1,000 or higher, and Brandrgarde Normal for equipment value 300 or higher — the tier of bag you can carry is tied to how strong your setup already is. See the Hallowgrove and Brandrgarde pages for the full mode breakdown.

How to Get More Combat Bags

There are three reliable, repeatable sources, plus a few one-time handouts. Everything below matches the systems documented by launch-era guides (allthings.how, Destructoid, games.gg).

1. Scavenger Squad — repeatable every hour

The Scavenger Squad is the most repeatable source: you can dispatch it roughly once every hour, so it is worth keeping it busy whenever you are back at camp.

1. Unlock the Scavenger Squad building at your camp (it upgrades through 8 levels — see the Camp Construction guide).
2. Talk to Twig, who stands next to Pip at your camp.
3. Open the Scavenger Squad menu and pick an expedition from the areas you have already unlocked through camp upgrades.
4. Check the reward preview before you commit — it shows what the squad may bring back, including a chance at a Combat Bag.
5. Wait for the fixed timer to finish. The squad completes each run on its own; you only need to check back once the time is up.
6. Return to Twig to collect the rewards.

You cannot guarantee a bag from any single run, but upgrading the Scavenger Squad unlocks better expeditions — higher-tier trips improve your odds of returning with a Pro Combat Bag or better (per Destructoid and allthings.how).

2. Season Store — spend Echo of Fate

The Season tab holds a currency route through the Fate Chart: completing its repeatable quests earns Echo of Fate, which you spend in the Season Store (some guides call it the Destiny Map Store). This is the only way to target-buy higher-rarity bags. Echoes of Fate come from playing the game and completing tasks such as acquiring Gyldenblod and successfully extracting (per Mobalytics ).

• You can bank up to 3,000 Echo of Fate per week, which is enough to pick up both the Pro Combat Bag and the Advanced Combat Bag on offer.
• Time-limited: the Fate Chart runs as a limited-time event, so this method may not be active on your account depending on when you check. If the tab is empty, lean on the Scavenger Squad and Path of Glory instead (per allthings.how).

Echo of Fate is Season 1 currency — see Season 1 Soul Hunt for the Fate Chart context.

3. Path of Glory — free tier rewards

Path of Glory is the ranked track you enable before a run. You earn progression points from how well you perform in a match, and reaching set tiers hands out Combat Bags at no cost. Each reward also requires you to complete three matches after reaching the tier:

This matches the milestone rewards documented on the Path of Glory guide — these bags are complete free loadouts that act as a safety net after a bad extract.

4. One-time and event handouts

• Pip’s Provision side quest hands new Gyldhunters a Combat Bag as newcomer supplies. Pip has prepared a fresh bag for fledgling hunters who return empty-handed, and the task is simply to claim it.
• Launch mail. At launch, players received Combat Bags in-game via mail — for example, Advanced and Pro Combat Bags — alongside compensation rewards (see the codes guide).
• World loot and events. Beta testers reported Combat Bags dropping as world loot, and official event notes mention Scavenger Squads dropping Novice, Pro, and Elite bags as daily rewards.

How to Equip and Use a Combat Bag

1. Open your Warehouse (a camp building) at the Windrest camp hub.
2. Switch to the Combat Bag tab.
3. Select the bag you want.
4. Press Equip — all the gear contained in the bag equips automatically.
5. Enter a map. The bag is consumed when you enter the map; unequipping before entry restores it and does not consume it.
6. On a successful extraction you keep the bag’s equipment. If you die before extracting, the gear you carried is lost just like any other equipment (per keengamer and Patch Crazy).

The same flow works for every rarity, and it is the fastest way back into a run after losing a loadout — no manual gear assembly required.

What’s inside a Combat Bag

• The Novice Combat Bag ships with a set loadout that includes 9 Minor Healing Elixirs — more sustain than you would realistically buy while poor (per gamerfuzion).
• Higher rarities carry stronger gear and better healing items (per allthings.how and games.gg), so the tier of bag you open scales with the content you are running.
• Bags stock tactical items alongside gear — see the Tactical Items reference for what fills the utility slots, from keys and revealing consumables to crowd control and the Soul of Return that powers extraction.

Slot strategy: healing fills your sustain slots, but a good bag removes the temptation to run a hunt under-supplied because you did not want to spend Gyldenblod.

When to Spend vs Save

Combat Bags are a convenience layer: you save the full gear-and-gem configuration you want, equip it as a bag, and buy or rebuild it with one action when you lose it in the mist. Because dying without extracting strips the gear you carried, a hand-built loadout is expensive to replace — the bag exists to make that cheap. The trade-off is inventory: each type is capped, and extra bags beyond the cap are wasted (per allthings.how, Destructoid, and games.gg).

For the wider picture — Auction House, blue quests, elites, and the full gearing loop — see the Gearing Guide. If you prefer deterministic gear over bag RNG, the Equipment Forging guide covers the Forge route, and the New Player Guide sequences all of it for the opening hours.

Combat Bag FAQ

How do Combat Bags work in Mistfall Hunter?

Combat Bags are preset loadouts. Using one automatically equips a free preset Loadout that cannot be modified. You unlock the system right after the tutorial, and every bag you own lives in your Warehouse under the Combat Bag tab.

Is a Combat Bag consumed when I enter a map?

Yes. Equipping or unequipping a bag before entering a map does not consume it, but once you enter the map the bag is consumed and its gear becomes your run loadout. Successfully extracting lets you keep that equipment.

Can I modify a Combat Bag’s loadout?

No. Preset bags equip a fixed loadout that cannot be changed. The Custom Combat Bag variant exists for your own saved personal loadouts.

What is the Combat Bag inventory cap?

Each bag type has its own cap. The Novice Combat Bag caps at 10 copies; the caps for Advanced, Pro, Elite, and Limited have not been officially published, so check your Warehouse before farming a specific rarity.

Do Combat Bags expire?

No. There is no reported expiry for bags you have claimed. The time limit applies to some sources — the Fate Chart event that earns Echo of Fate is time-limited — not to the bags themselves.

What happens when my Combat Bag inventory is full?

Extra bags of a type that is at its cap are wasted (per community guides), so use or spend bags before farming more of the same type.

Which Combat Bag should I use?

Use Novice bags for practice and early runs; save Pro and Elite bags for Chaos and Cataclysm modes whose entry requirements demand higher gear value. The Pro bag’s 2,500 gear value clears the 1,000 floor for Hallowgrove Chaos on its own.

How do I get more Combat Bags?

The three reliable ways: send the Scavenger Squad on hourly expeditions (talk to Twig next to Pip), spend Echo of Fate in the Season Store (up to 3,000 per week, enough for the Pro and Advanced bags), and reach Duskborn (Pro bag) and Mistwalker (Elite bag) on the Path of Glory track.

How many Combat Bags can I hold at once?

The Novice Combat Bag caps at 10 copies — the only cap confirmed across guides. Creator gameplay breakdowns report that you can also hold 5 of every other type (Advanced, Pro, Elite, and Limited), though only the Novice figure is officially published, so watch the counter in your Warehouse.

Can I sell or trade Combat Bags?

No. Combat Bags are for your own use — creator breakdowns note that bag contents are bound to your character and cannot be sold or traded.
