Armor and Weapons DO have a weight to them

[McBritches]

Im a noob to the game and I was looking to see what was weighing me down so much and everything gives you a weight value but extra weapons and gear you are carrying do not have a weight attached to the tooltip. For some reason i just thought this meant they weighed nothing. After creating a weapon and armor crate i realized that they DO have weight value.

Just posting this in case another person made the same mistake that i did

Thank you, I did make this this mistake!

thanks for letting me know this, somehow i had no idea. seems like the scout armour set has reduced weight values and some neat stealth bonuses

My typical 'do anything' loadout when leaving my base has a total weight of between 35 and 40, that's 5 weapons, around 9000 rounds of ammo, various medical items and a few food / drink buffs.
If I'm doing just a ore/mining run then I don't need all that so its 3 weapons, around 2000 rounds of ammo, a couple of meds and buff food with combined weight of just under 30. I could reduce that weight to 25 but as I mine in level 40+ areas I like to at least be prepared for some combat.

Yeah, realised when I opened a bunch of crates and they filled me with garbage weapons and armors...
