U4GM - Fallout 76 Items That Increase Carry Capacity
Managing inventory weight is a constant challenge in Fallout 76, especially when you're scavenging for valuable resources. Fortunately, several Fallout 76 items can help you increase your carry capacity, allowing you to haul more loot without being overencumbered. Whether you're playing on PC, Xbox, or looking for Fallout 76 items for sale PS4, these options will help you optimize your loadout.
1. Backpacks
Backpacks are one of the most effective ways to boost carry capacity. The standard Small Backpack provides +30 carry weight, while the Large Backpack (unlocked through Pioneer Scouts quests) offers +60. Mods like the High Capacity Backpack can further increase this bonus.
2. Pocketed or Deep-Pocketed Armor
Modifying armor with Pocketed or Deep-Pocketed mods adds extra carry weight. Each piece can contribute +5 to +10, meaning a full set can give you up to +50 carry capacity.
3. Strength-Boosting Gear
Since Strength directly affects carry weight, items like Power Armor (which sets Strength to 11) or armor with +Strength legendary effects can help. Consumables like Buffout or Psychobuff also temporarily increase Strength.
4. Weight Reduction Perks & Legendary Effects
While not direct carry weight increases, perks like Traveling Pharmacy (reduces chem weight) and Bandolier (reduces ballistic ammo weight) free up inventory space. Legendary armor with Weapon Weight Reduction or Food/Drink/Chem Weight Reduction is also valuable.
5. Grocer’s & Chemist’s Backpack Mods
If you struggle with food or chem weight, these mods reduce their weight by 90%, effectively increasing usable carry capacity without changing your total limit.
Where to Find These Items
Many of these Fallout 76 items can be crafted, earned in-game, or traded with other players. If you're looking for Fallout 76 items for sale PS4, check trusted trading communities or reputable vendors.
