How Can I Manage Carry Weight with Power Armor in FO76?

-

I’m really struggling with carry weight while using different power armors in Fallout 76. I recently switched to wearing Vulcan power armor to handle a nasty snake that blows me off the platform, but my carry weight drops to 263 with that armor, and I end up over encumbered since my total weight becomes 519! Without the armor, my carry weight is 373, and in Excavator Power Armor, it’s 473. I have 15 strength in special stats and I’m used to a bloodied and unyielding build. Is there a way to improve my carry weight without being stuck using Excavator armor?

Try adding the calibrated shocks mod to your Vulcan suit and look for weight-reducing legendary effects. You can also use perks that help with weight management. That should give you some extra breathing room!

How do I get those mods?

If you keep jumping and moving forward while the snake is blowing, you won’t get pushed off the platform. Even if you’re not underweight, staying mobile helps a lot!

Definitely jump every time the snake screams! It really makes a difference in staying on the platform.
