The player's walking speed is significantly decreased.

The maximum weight a player can carry without penalty.

Over-encumbrance Weight above carrying capacity Being aware of these thresholds is important to properly select the amount of loot you can carry. A player with exactly 15 kg (33 lbs) over capacity can walk significantly faster than a player with 15.01 kg. Same goes for slowing down or increasing sprain chances. This means that a player with exactly 10 kg (22 lbs) over capacity can still sprint, but a player with 10.1 kg cannot.

Coffee may also offer minor relief from a low fatigue meter.ĭetrimental effects do not occur linearly relative to the amount of weight over capacity, but at thresholds of 5 kg (11 lbs). The fatigue meter is primarily restored with sleep, and, once the player has regained at least 50% of his or her fatigue, (equivalent to 6 hours of sleep) the maximum carrying capacity is restored. Once the 'Exhausted' fatigue state is reached, the carry limit will be half the normal value (or 15kg). Also, when fatigue reaches 50%, the carrying capacity will begin to decrease at a rate of 0.3 kg for every percent closer to 0. The amount of weight the character is carrying increases the rate of fatigue. However, since there is a limit to how many satchels/backpacks the player can equip (only one of each can be equipped at a time), 45 kg (99 lb) is the highest-possible carrying capacity in the game. These effects can be stacked, meaning that the player can increase their normal carrying capacity by up to 15 kg (33 lb). This baseline can be increased by wearing a moose-hide satchel, equipping a Technical Backpack, or achieving the well fed affliction. The player's normal carrying capacity starts at 30 kg (66 lb).
