How to increase carry weight in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl
In Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, your character, Skif, is limited to just 80 kilograms (kg) of items by default. As you get closer to this limit, you’ll notice some detrimental effects to your stamina:
- Sprinting, jumping, and performing melee hits with a knife cost more stamina if you’re heavily encumbered.
- Stamina regeneration is significantly slower.
- Going past the maximum carry weight limit causes your character to be over-encumbered. You won’t be able to move at all.
These can definitely hinder exploration, especially if you can’t run around as often as you’d like. As such, it’s imperative to find ways to increase carry weight in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
