Character maximum carry capacity?

[Verbal100]

I'm wondering if there's a maximum carry weight you can get to with your character. I am currently at 255 carry weight with level 3 weightlifting and bonus's with the Mantis armour. When I go to level 4 weightlifting (extra 100kg) my carrying capacity only goes up to 305. I've also picked up 3 of the magazines that give an additional 5kg each, not sure if these stack.

Anyone else come across this?

Might be a bit late here, but you mention the Mantis armour gives you extra carry capacity. I just did that mission, and none of those armour components had any extra carry capacity buffs.

I'm still using the starter armour (I think?), though, called "Mechanized UC Marine Spacesuit", also Legendary, giving 40 extra carrying capacity. Is that the one you meant?

Anyway, I have maxed out weightlifting as well (+100), and my total carry weight is now 285. I thought I'd found at least one of those magazines, but not sure. If you've found 3 and I haven't found any yet (very possible), the numbers add up.

And btw, going from skill lvl 3 in weightlifting (+50 carry capacity) to 4 (+100) adds up with the numbers you mention, from 255 to 305, so that sounds about right. It's not +100 on top of the 50, but total from 'base' value.

Still curious about the Mantis armour, though, if you got extra carry capacity with it!

The Mantis armor can spawn with different Prefixes for everyone.
Best way to ensure what you want to have on it, is to save scum before you open the case for the armor, as it changes the prefixes to something different everytime

Interesting! I didn't know that, thanks! I'm going to try this now, then

Btw, main reason I found this post was because I didn't find any magazines during the mission, and found that a bit strange, so I searched for "mantis magazine" (and glad I did now!). Anyone remember if they found a magazine in there, by any chance?

[Natjur]

Mechanised (+40 Carry Capacity on Legendary only, Slot 3 perk) or/and
Fastened: (+20 carry capacity on Epic or Legendary, Slot 2 perk)

So it is possible to get both of these of each armour slot (helm, backpack and suit)

That is an total extra of 180 capacity

yeah, I got mechanized and bolstering on it at my second time. Not that I cared, as I use some good old Crimson Fleet armor right now which had better RAW stats then the Mantis armor

why do you need to carry so much? all I ever needed was one of each armor piece (suit, pack, and helmet), a few guns, ammo and med packs

Looting.
Most of the money I personally make in game is by selling someones equipment and Suits weigh a TON. Also farming trips can get very extreme, as I try to fill my whole Inventory before moving back to my outpost. So more Capacity = more Loot to sell and Ressources avaible to gather

Yikes! Lol thanks for this. I'm currently scumsaving, and found a good version with +40 carryweight, -15% damage from humans, and auto-stimpak when low health, but I think I'll keep reloading a few more times

Weapons mainly is nice to gather as 'currency', but must admit I probably won't need much more money now, as I have about 450k now, and the missions pay well. But getting hooked on carryweight now!

The mantis armour looks pretty silly though, I think, at least compared to the UC marine one I already have with +40 carryweight... But it has better protection stats.

Mantis Armor is random perks. One time it might add carry capacity, the next, might be Chameleon. You never know!

But the game has a 5K limit on shops when selling, You would be better off using the scavenging skill to get more ammo and credits from boxes, sell the ammo you don't need instead of carrying around heavy junk

You know that carryweight for the first time ever in a BGS game is measured in kilograms right? So if you have 250 kg or whatever carryweight that is actually like having 550 lbs carryweight in Fallout 4 or something. I mean you can carry many many guns on you. I never had a problem with the carryweight in the game. After weightlifting is maxed out and logistics is maxed out so the ship also can transport more, players shouldn't have any problem with inventory management. I mean the Star Eagle already has enough storage, or you get the Kepler R.
