Increasing your inventory carry weight capacity in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl will be vital if you don’t want to smoothen your survival chances in The Zone.
While it makes sense to keep as many items in your portable storage as possible, going over the permissible limit will encumber you. It’s a tricky status condition that makes it very difficult for you to move around, especially during combat. The easy solution is to be picky about what you choose to carry, but a sustainable choice will be to increase the maximum weight of items that you can carry at any given time.
How to carry more items in Stalker 2
Let’s take a look at all possible ways to increase your inventory carry capacity.
| Method | How does it work |
|---|---|
| Armor | Certain suits like the Wanderer provides permanent boost to the total amount of items you can carry at a given time. You can find this specific item at the Journalist Stash in the Swamp. This armor also has some amazing artifact slots, which has many advantages. |
| Artifacts | Both the Goldfish and Spring artifacts will allow you to carry extra items in your inventory, and they can be found near gravitational anomalies. Do note that these artifacts have higher radiation, so you’ll want to wear a suit that offers the necessary protection. |
| Drug | The Hercules drug provides an instant buff for 300 seconds which will allow you to carry +20 KG worth of items in your inventory. |
| Armor Upgrades | You can upgrade your armor to increase its carrying capacity. While it’s one of the best upgrades to get, it’s not available for all, and the choice can be quite expensive. |
| Weapon Upgrades | You can apply several upgrades on your weapons, and they include weight reduction choices. That way, you’ll be able to carry more items without getting encumbered |
If you’re just getting started in The Zone, odds are that you won’t be able to get the benefits of the options listed here. Try to be very selective about what you pick up, and grabbing every weapon isn’t fruitful.
Additionally, drop any weapon that has reached critical (signaled by a red icon) in terms of its durability. You can’t use them in trade, and employing them in battles can be dangerous as well. Hence, adding them to your inventory will just add a lot of dead weight. You can always unload them to add ammo, which is easier to carry and useful in every dangerous situation around The Zone in Stalker 2.
