Carrying limit affects the movement of your character. It is a statistic that you need to pay close attention to, otherwise you will quickly get tired and move very slowly. Fortunately, there are ways that will help you increase this statistic, and as a result, carrying more items. You will find out about this from our guide page for STALKER 2.

How does the load work?

The load stat is visible in the equipment window. In the bottom right corner of the screen, there is a scale icon, and a bar with three colors next to it. If that color is green, you don't have to worry about anything. Your walk and run speed will be normal, and your stamina bar will decrease very slowly while sprinting.

The problem starts when you reach the yellow bar. Then your stamina will start to decrease much faster while sprinting, and its regeneration will also be slower.

If you reach the red color, your walk and sprint will be significantly slower, and it will only take a moment for the character to get tired. We strongly advise against reaching such a state, as exploration will become a torment.

Ways to increase carrying limit

There are several ways to increase your carrying limit, although initially it will be rather difficult to achieve.

  1. Pills that increase your carrying capacity - there are many white pills in the game world, taking them will increase your carrying capacity by a large amount. The problem is that this is a temporary boost, lasting about 300 seconds. Still, it's worth taking them, especially if you have a long way to your destination and don't want to throw anything away from your inventory.
  2. Armor - some of them offer much greater load capacity than the basic ones. If you belong to the people who hoard everything in their equipment, it's worth getting one. You can get some of them for completing tasks, others you will find by exploring the Zone.
  3. Artifacts - they can also increase your carrying capacity, but some of them will in return increase radiation. Therefore, it is worth equipping those that will reduce this negative effect.
