Weight exploit.

[alucard9119]

I have been playing the game now for about a week or so, and besides all the bugs I have seen posted, I haven't once seen anyone talk about the weight exploit to where you can have a squad mate pick up and carry another squad member who is to heavy to run himself. (note that this is with the same stats in strength.) Ex. I put my man sand through heavy weight training. His gear load out is as followed: HE wears full samurai armor, with a plank on his back, and 3 merchant (large) bags full of staffs so that he has a weight of 427kgs to haul around. The man can hardly move let alone run. Now here is the kicker. After putting him through this his strength raises to about 54 and I want to bring him back. However, he is still to slow so i think to myself "how can I get around quickly with this lug of extra weight." After a few minutes I thought I could try to carry him, and to my shock it worked. MY man slick picked up that heavy lug and ran with him without to much of a slow down at all and his strength is only 23. So after all that shit I made you read here is my point. I feel as though that the mans weight who is being carried should also effect the one who is actually carry him. With that said I'll leave this rant to the viewers. Thanks for reading!

This is happening because, currently, the only weight added to the carrier is the "pack mule's" body weight.
Anything in a char's inventory is null whenever s/he is being carried by another char. I assume this will remain until survival aspects are implemented, since the amount of weight a char is carrying will affect how quickly s/he will become hungry, thirsty, or exhausted.

Yes indeed true, but I just wanted to make a quick post to at least acknowledge it and give back to a game I know will be one of its kind. Can't wait for what is to come !

that exploit is nothing:

If you have a travelers large backpack, remove all your clothes and put it in there, you will run faster.

I find myself running naked through the desert ALL THE TIME. Worse still, if i encounter enemies, i pause the game and put all my armor back on proceed to destroy everyone.

On a different note, heavy clubs will level your strength the fastest of the heavy weapons. They also do an absurd amount of damage.
