As a seasoned Stalker player with countless hours lost within the enigmatic Zone, I can wholeheartedly vouch for the intricate mechanics that govern our protagonist Skif’s carrying capacity. It’s a balancing act between greed and survival, much like my own life as a hoarder trying to keep my apartment habitable!
In Stalker 2, there’s a vast amount of equipment to discover, however, your ability to carry it is restricted by Skif’s load capacity. Although he’s quite strong, even he must consider carefully what he can realistically transport back to base for selling. To avoid frequently discarding items, you might want to enhance Skif’s carrying capacity.
How to increase carry weight
You can boost your load-carrying capacity by donning specific armor and artifacts, as well as making use of temporary enhancements. However, it seems like Skif’s strength in this regard cannot be permanently enhanced through upgrades – he appears to have reached his peak. The positive aspect is that you can retain the armor and artifacts with you for as long as desired.
Initially, Skif can bear up to 80kg without being overly burdened and immobilized. Prior to reaching this limit, he will gradually decrease his speed and require more time to recharge his energy. However, by utilizing certain items or artifacts, you can significantly boost his carrying capacity. This enhancement is particularly noticeable when multiple items are combined effectively.
Initially, you might discover an armor that enhances your carrying capacity by 8 kilograms. If you’ve got the Journalist’s Stashes at your disposal, you can locate this type of armor hidden in the Swamps, specifically in the southeastern part of the map. This armor also boasts some remarkable artifact slots.
To increase your carrying capacity, try using items such as Goldfish or Spring which can be discovered around areas with gravitational irregularities. So, as you traverse through your journey, always remain vigilant for these artifacts. Begin by scouring Ribs, a location situated south of Zalissya, the initial town in the Lesser Zone.
Apart from these two approaches, another method to boost your carrying capacity is by utilizing the Hercules Buff. This additional feature offers an extra 20 kilograms for a duration of 300 seconds, which equals 5 minutes. As you advance further into the campaign, you’ll encounter this buff more frequently and it will become necessary due to the heavy, quest-specific items you’ll need to transport.
Exploring the appeal of Stalker 2 involves lugging equipment around while adhering to your load limit. While you can find ways to boost this capacity, any enhancements are temporary and depend on your character’s current build.
