Carry weight capacity

Carry weight capacity (CWC) is the maximum combined weight of items a character can hold in their inventory without incurring a movement speed penalty.

The base maximum is 50 kg but there are many ways to modify that limit:

• Strong Back (support perk) adds 22 kg
• Strong Back Lite (PvE perk) grants +5 kg per rank
• Utility (armor perk) can increase your CWC by up to +95 kg (or +400 kg if you're a Hubologist)
• Each point of Strength multiplies your CWC by 5% (or 3% if you have the Small Frame trait)
  • Regulator's version of Small Frame (trait) sets your character's CWC at 75 kg with no possibility of increasing it further
• Backpack adds 50 kg when held in either hand
• Bag adds 100 kg when held in either hand
• Base Cleaner (PvE perk) grants a +25% CWC bonus per rank but it only takes effect when you're inside one of your bases
• Pack Rat (support perk) doubles the load you can carry

• Soldier (class perk) can carry 1 kg extra
• Leader (class perk) loses 10 kg for each point of Perception
• Clone (class perk) can carry 25 kg extra for each point of Charisma
• Random Boy (class perk) has a chance to get either a +50 kg bonus or a -25 kg penalty to their CWC
• Monument Chunk (T5 drug) increases your CWC by 10% when used

Note: Because your real carry weight is calculated in grams and then displayed to you in kilograms, it is possible for a character that looks like they're exactly at their maximum to actually be over it. For example, if your CWC is 60000 grams and you're carrying 60123 grams, the UI will show that you're at 60/60 kg (exactly your maximum) while at the same time displaying the "Overweight" status indicator at the top of the screen.
