In this guide, we’re covering STALKER 2 Heart of Chornobyl How to Increase Carry Weight. There’s plenty of loot to be found throughout the game, but unfortunately a carry weight limit prevents you from picking it all up. You have to stay on top of organizing your inventory, keeping track of what you need and what you can live without. If you have too much on you then you become encumbered. Continue on to learn ways to remedy this situation and remove the encumbered status.
Ways to Increase Carry Weight

There are a few different ways that you can increase your carry weight. Your first option is to equip an armor or suit with carry capacity upgrades. The OZK Explorer’s Suit will increase your carry capacity by 10% and offers a weight reduction of 1 and the Cuirass Exoskeleton can also be another helpful addition
Your second option is to equip an artifact that increases your carry weight. The Blood Stone, an artifact found in gravitational anomalies, will boost your carry weight. You can also try things like the Hercules Drug, which gives you +20 carry weight for 300 seconds.
On the flipside, you can purchase upgrades that reduce the weight of your weapons and armor, the heaviest things in your inventory.
How to Remove Encumbered

If you’ve found that you’ve accidentally grabbed one too many bandages, then you’ll get the encumbered status. This appears when you’ve gone over your carry weight limit and it’ll slow you down. To get rid of this status, drop stuff from your inventory. You can select minor things like bandages, canned food, or bread. If you’re looking to shed a lot of weight, then drop a heavy weapon or piece of armor.
