Weight
Weight is a stat Players have. Increasing weight allows you to carry more items. It can be increased by either using skill points or by having certain pals (Cattiva, Kingpaca, Lunaris) in your party.
When a player's Weight goes above its maximum their movement & speed will be affected. Using the 300 base Weight as an example, if you're at 310 Weight you would be slowed by 20%. Carrying 50 more Weight than your maximum Weight will not allow you to move in versions of the game prior to v0.1.4.0, and will otherwise just slow you dramatically. This movement reduction also affects pals you're riding.
Before patch v0.1.4.0, the only way to move when your character is fully overweight was by using a grapping hook, or to drop some items to reduce your Weight.
When overweight you cannot jump, sprint or glide.
Overview
The player can carry a maximum number of items. This is calculated using the weight of each item. Going over this weight limit will disable some mechanics (see Consequences). The player can see their current and maximum weight in the bottom of their inventory. When the player goes past halfway of their maximum capacity, their current weight load will also be shown on the HUD as they pick up or drop items.
Every item has a weight value. Some items have a weight of 0.0, such as Pal Gear or Gold Coins. The weight of a stack of an item can be found in the inventory, in the top right of an item's picture. You can also hover over the item. Its weight will then be displayed in the bottom right of the information modal.
Consequences
When your character carries too much, they will be 'weighed down'. While weighed down, the following things will be disabled:
- Jumping
- Running
- Flying (on a pal)
- Rolling (Makes it hard to dodge incoming attacks)
- Gliding (Will fall down if weighed down while mid-air)
- Climbing (Can continue climbing if already on a wall. Can still get on wall using Grappling Gun; but you can't do it while standing on the ground)
- Crouching (You can't stop sliding if you overweight during a slide)
As soon as you go over your weight limit, your walking speed will decrease, and slow down more until you go 50kg over your maximum weight limit. Afterwards, there is no extra penalty. The speed decrease can make it difficult to deposit the massive items, requiring you to have to drop or dispose of items to continue. Your pal's movement will also be affected by your overweight.
Increasing Max Weight
The maximum carrying capacity can be upgraded using points when leveling up.
Some pals have Partner Skills that increase your maximum carrying capacity. Pals can increase your weight capacity when in your party, though some require crafted items to take effect. Multiple pals of the same type can be in your inventory for additive effects.

Tips
You can still mount and dismount pals while weighed down. You can also use your Grappling Gun to move around. By combining the mount's height and your grappling gun, you can move around fairly well even when weighed down.
