Over encumbrance effects

[Grimm]

First of all sorry if this has been asked before

I looked up the over encumbrance effects and it said over 30kg prevents you from rope climbing and over 40kg you can no longer sprint

But does that mean that between 30kg to 39.9kg there is no adverse effects other then the rope climbing?

It says there may be negative effects but does anyone have any idea if that is decreased energy/sprint bar? faster fatigue/tiredness? Any info on this out there?

Movement speed is definitely affected, a lot even.

[Grimm]

any idea of how much? or if affects anything else?

[Greep]

I'd say at 39.9 you're moving at half speed, just a guess. Why not try it out? Run around indoors with a watch. It's quite noticeable.

No idea on anything else.

In any case it;s super dangerous at ~+6 kg encumbrance, you'll get attacked by wolves even if you sprint.

unless you offset it with a cup of coffee doesn't your energy drain quicker as well

This is hard to prove because my story is from the pov of events happening very quickly.

Early in a Loper run, I found myself with a wolf kinda angled off but between me and a trailer door. The only point of it being early Loper is I had very, very little weight. Def under 15kg.

I sprinted for the door, the wolf accelerated to attack speed, and I still managed to...not run past it per se, but evade its intercept path and auto-engagement zone.

As I sprinted, the wolf went from about my 2o'clock position to *behind* me.

I believe in speed. Low weight=speed, low weight=less fatigue, and less fatigue also = speed. I know I move slower at the end of the day than in the mornin'

There is at least 1 y-tuber I used to follow and now I can't stomach watching him/her lumber around based up, over-encumbered, lazy inventory/weight management and can't run away/evade anything except maybe a senior citizen. Just stupid.

When the bear rears up in challenge, ya better have already shot it, be getting ready to flare it, or ya best be ready to sprint to a car or door or something.

Not turn, shuffle a few steps, get smacked upside the back of your head, and stagger to your feet wondering why your toque is at 0%

Yes to all - walk and sprint speed, fatigue, calories burnt. But the 30kg limit is modified by the well fed bonus and the moose bag.
