Weight
Every item in the game has a weight. When the player puts items in their backpack or equips them their weight increases. Weight also increases when mud 
accumulates on your soldier from moving on muddy terrain during Rain Storm.
Weight is displayed as a percentage in the top right of the backpack menu.
Effect on Players
Weight directly affects the player's movement speed.
Being above certain weight levels gives special Status Effects:
| HUD Icon | name | Weight | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Encumbered | 66% - 99% | None |
|
Overencumbered | 100% and more |
Increased stamina consumption rate |
Past 100%, more weight keep increasing stamina consumption rate but the speed won't decrease anymore.
Effect on Vehicles
Some vehicles have weight, visible in their inventory menu. Item weight in a vehicle inventory is 5.45 times lower than in a player's inventory (e.g. an item that weighs 54.5% on a soldier weighs 10% in a vehicle). The weight of players in the vehicle and the fuel in the fueltank do not count towards the weight of the vehicle.
The weight affects the vehicle's speed and acceleration. A vehicle is slowed down the more weight it has, however additional weight past 100% has no effect. The effects of weight on top speed is different for each vehicle, you can review the top speed of each vehicle at 0%, 50%, and 100% weight in Movement Speed.
The weight does NOT affect fuel consumption.
