Klei should make it so haunting a backpack makes the backpack drop its contents

[iplaygame]

this would be extremely helpful in the event you die but cant revive yourself because your life giving amulet was in your backpack

[00petar00]

That would be nice but i don't have any problems having my life giving amulet in the inventory instead, usually its enough for players to make such a mistake once and they'll never put the amulet in the backpack again.

is not worth dev time and will be so annoying if you want to haunt your amulet but instead you haunt your backpack dropping everything on the floor

The nightmare of having your food in your backpack, and you go to nudge it out of the way to get to your LGA but all the food pops out and the spiders eat it while you're trying to find your lga XD

Imagine that happening while you were collecting bees for boxes... ouch

You should put LGAs in your pockets.

massive troll potential, no thanks. Maybe, just maybe you should put your LGA in your inventory.

would be better to just being able to use amulet while it's inside backpack, wasting amuler inside it but no opening backpack itself

nah, isnt that difficult to remember to put 1 item in your inventory. Is something you learn after few stupid mistakes

Keep your amulet in character inventory perhaps?! Simple solution, at-hand right now. No need for KLei to come up with convoluted additional mechanics solely because some players need to have certain items in specific, problematic places related to game's basic functioning rules.

Only if we give it a 90% percent chance to spawn a new boss called the backpack king.

You mean a Klaus that spawns enraged, but has 100% krampus sack drop rate?

Yes but as you go to pick it up it turns to ash.

It's just unfortunate because OP's suggestion isn't out of nowhere, most containers like backpacks, Chester and more have special haunting reactions named MakeHauntableDropFirstItem / MakeHauntableLaunchAndDropFirstItem, which will drop the first item found so you could precisely loot only the item you want like amulets, lanterns and others if stored properly.
But... this part of reaction is left as a comment so there's really not much left to do but add it back. I think that would be beneficial to see it implemented in the game.
