A player’s base inventory without any backpack was also increased from eight to ten slots. The Gold backpack did not receive an increase considering it always has the same number of inventory slots as the purple one but gives players an extra ability for having it equipped. 

These changes will allow players to have more of the loot they need to secure victories against their opponents. No longer will you have to worry as much about managing your loot in the middle of a match.
