Before Update 58 Arms Keeper had 3 ranks and provided 25%, 50% and 75% weight reduction only to rifles.
Behind the scenes[]
This perk was created by systems designer JP Salman, who developed it alongside the UI team working on the game. According to Salman, its introduction was meant as a quality-of-life improvement for players using rifle builds, as there are similar perks for other weapon types (such as Bear Arms).[1]
