Notes[]
- The weapons depicted in the perk icon are, left to right: a light machine gun, a plasma caster, a Fat Man, an automatic rifle and a super sledge.
- The perk does not affect any weapons that have been modified to weigh under 10 pounds. For this reason, equipping the modification after taking this perk may be desirable.
- The perk actually alters the global weight of affected weapons, not just their effect on the Courier's encumbrance values; when giving affected weapons to companions while having the perk, the companion is encumbered by half the standard amount as well. This also applies to enemies; if they have an affected weapon equipped, and if their AI decides to continuously loot stronger weapons and appropriate ammunition from the environment, the lessened weight of their default weapon allows them to potentially pick up more items, providing a niche minor disadvantage when taking this perk.
