A character's Carry weight defines the amount of equipment they can carry, measured in kilograms. Your character's carry weight is determined by their strength. To increase your carry weight without modifying your character's strength, you can take the Pack Rat perk or the Strong Back perk. These both will allow you to carry more equipment. The maximum carry weight achievable in the game is 196 kg.
Note: Although Carry Weight is calculated in kilograms, the perk descriptions are expressed in pounds. A pound is equal to approximately 0.45 kilograms.

[edit] Weight limit base formula
Your character's base maximum carry weight is calculated using the following formula:
- (25+(Strength*25))/2.2. An average character with a Strength equal to 5 will be able to carry 67 kilograms. A character with 10 Strength will be able to carry 124 kilograms.
[edit] Small Frame Trait
If your character has the Small Frame trait, then your base carry weight calculated as follows:
- (25+(Strength*15))/2.2 kilograms. An average character with a Strength equal to 5 will be able to carry 45 kilograms.
[edit] Carry weight limit table
| Strength | Carry weight | Carry weight with Small Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 22 | 18 |
| 2 | 33 | 24 |
| 3 | 45 | 31 |
| 4 | 56 | 38 |
| 5 | 67 | 45 |
| 6 | 79 | 52 |
| 7 | 90 | 58 |
| 8 | 101 | 65 |
| 9 | 113 | 72 |
| 10 | 124 | 79 |
[edit] Penalties
If your character manages to pick up more equipment than their carry weight (this can happen often while mining or crafting), your character will only be able to walk. If you carry too much over your maximum carry limit, you will not be able to move at all.
Note that sometimes your current carry weight and maximum carry weight will be equal, but you will still be slowed down. This is because your carry weight in your inventory is shown in kilograms, rounding to the nearest whole number and does not show the number of additional grams you may be carrying. This causes your weight to appear to be lower than it actually is. For example, your inventory may show 150/150 kilograms, however the weight of all equipment you're carrying could be 150.4/150 kilograms.
