Death Stranding 2 is one of the most anticipated sequels of the year, as fans of Kojima’s work finally get a continuation to the complex story that the first game presented us.

This guide will be showing you how to do it.

How To Increase Carry Capacity In Death Stranding 2

If, for some reason, you are struggling to figure out how to increase your carry capacity in the game, check out Sam’s stats for a second and look at the tooltip under the Carrying Capacity category.

There, you should see a brief description of what this stat does and how you level it up. According to this menu, you can increase your Carrying Capacity by simply bringing along cargo that exceeds a certain weight as you cross long distances.

Needless to say, just playing the game normally will eventually increase your carrying capacity, so just keep on playing. As you continue on with the main story, you will also eventually unlock new vehicles, which will help you carry even more stuff with you, up to a certain degree.

By just carrying heavy stuff with you through long distances, you will naturally gain more carrying capacity, as the game clearly explains to you. With each level, you gain a few extra kilograms worth of capacity, so just keep on doing your job to get better at, well, doing your job.

As you play through the game, you will also come across various attachments for your backpack. Among these is the Chiral Antigravity Device. Each of these attachments will decrease the overall weight of Sam’s bag, allowing you to carry even more cargo.

If you are just focusing on delivering heavy stuff across the map, you should consider using a ton of these to allow Sam to carry a ton of junk on him. You will be getting a lot of these as you progress through Australia, so you should not have an issue acquiring them.

If you are focusing more on combat, you could use Spare Ammo Containers instead, or a mix of both depending on your current situation. There are even grenade pouches that achieve the same effect, but specifically for ordnance.

Certain other bits of equipment can also help you get more carrying capacity, even if they are geared more towards combat rather than cargo holding. There are also Chiral Crystlas that you can encounter, which further increase your capacity, so keep an eye out for those.

And that is pretty much everything we can tell you when it comes to increasing your carrying capacity in the game. Carrying cargo is one of the main components of the game, if not the main thing you do, so you would have to try really hard to actually miss all of these mechanics.

While you are here, make sure to check out our guide on how to rest in Death Stranding 2. You will need to do this a lot throughout your playthrough, especially if you are carrying a lot of heavy cargo with you at all times, like you would be doing if you wanted to increase Sam’s carrying capacity as fast as you possibly can.
