    Noob question...how do I change backpack skins?

    As the title suggests I can't find a way to change the backpack skins, or emotes.

    Having received some "free" booty via the new caches, after logging back in from a short break, I have various new vanity items to try out but can't quite remember how to apply them.

    Gun camos, clothing etc...are obviously no issue.

    I'm on ps4, by the way.

    Help a fellow agent out, guys.

    P.S credit where it's due I like the new vanity items and getting 9 "free" caches was a nice surprise.

    Act as if you're going to add mods to your backpack, and I think it should be triangle that will open up the skin menu. (I don't own a PS console anymore so I'm unsure of the button layout, but it should be the top button). It should also show what button it is at the bottom of the U.I...

    In your inventory, hover over the backpack, hit F, then hit G.

    If you're on console, their should be a button prompt at the bottom of the screen for "Apply Skin"

    And what about the emotes?

    Do I have to do that in game at the emote selection wheel?

    Yep.

    Just hold the emote wheel open and you'll see the option to customise it.

    On console, emotes should be tethered to the d-pad, I forget which direction, though.

    On PC, hold H.

    You change these in the same way you do other gear say your weapons or holsters etc.

    DM me if you want some further instructions

    Closing due to necro, this thread was from 2017.
