How to increase carry limit in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

by

As a seasoned survivor of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, I’ve learned to cherish every ounce of resources in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The game’s inventory management system is as unforgiving as the Zone itself, but with a bit of know-how, you can carry more loot without breaking your back.

Heart of Chornobyl (abbreviated as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2) can be quite challenging due to its unforgiving inventory system. However, there are strategies to make it less daunting.

In every aspect, Stalker 2 is crafted for a challenging and merciless gameplay experience. Scarcity characterizes resources, food is hard to come by, and weapon upkeep is costly. To make matters worse, the game environment constantly seeks to eliminate the player.

When you encounter items in the game, try to gather as many as you can since they might be useful. However, the carry weight limit may make this challenging. Also, there’s no leveling system or way to boost your carrying capacity by improving stats.

In simpler terms, let’s explore effective methods for increasing your inventory capacity in Stalker 2, skipping any discussions about modifications.

Buy Carrying Capacity armor upgrades

In Stalker 2, certain armors can be enhanced to increase your carrying capacity. To achieve this enhancement, navigate to a Technician and check if the modification is offered for the armor you’re currently using. If the upgrade isn’t available, you may need to find an alternate outfit instead.

Equip Artifacts that grant additional carry weight

In the ominous regions of the Zone where unusual gravitational disturbances occur, Artifacts offer diverse bonuses and passive advantages upon being worn. For instance, some Artifacts such as the Stone Blood, boost the carrying capacity directly when they are equipped on your character.

Reduce weapon weight via upgrades

At the Technician’s workshop, it might be beneficial to inquire about reducing the weight of some of your weapons. Although this could be costly, it’s worth considering if there’s a weapon you plan to keep as a mainstay in your collection for the long term.

Take the Hercules Drug

In the Zone, discovering the Hercules Drug is not common, but it’s quite valuable. This item boosts your carrying capacity by 20 for 300 seconds. If you come across one, it’s wise to save it for when you encounter a heavily populated loot area. That way, you can transport as much loot back to the settlement as possible before storing excess items in your stash.

Special Stalker suits come with additional carry weight

During your journeys, you might stumble upon unique Stalker outfits that naturally expand your carrying capacity. The Cuirass Exoskeleton serves as a fine illustration; it boosts your carrying limit by an additional 8kg, ensuring you won’t be overburdened.
