In Fallout 76, managing your inventory is crucial for survival in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. One of the biggest challenges players face is carry weight, as hoarding weapons, armor, and resources can quickly fill up your stash. Fortunately, certain Fallout 76 items, particularly armor pieces and modifications, can help increase your carry capacity. If you're looking to optimize your build, here are some of the best armor-related options to boost your carry weight.

Best Armor and Mods for Increased Carry Weight

1. Pocketed and Deep Pocketed Mods

One of the easiest ways to increase carry weight is by applying Pocketed or Deep Pocketed mods to your armor. These modifications add extra storage space to individual armor pieces:

  • Pocketed – Adds +5 carry weight per piece.

  • Deep Pocketed – Adds +10 carry weight per piece (requires higher-level materials).

Equipping a full set of Deep Pocketed armor can give you an additional +50 carry weight, making it a must-have for loot-heavy players.

2. Sturdy and Heavy Armor Variants

Some armor types, like Combat Armor or Marine Armor, have Sturdy and Heavy variants that provide better stats, including increased carry weight bonuses when modified. Always check if your armor can be upgraded to a higher tier for better benefits.

3. Legendary Armor Effects

Certain legendary armor effects can significantly boost your carry weight:

  • Weapon Weight Reduction – Reduces weapon weight by 20% per piece.

  • Ammo Weight Reduction – Lowers ammo weight by 20% per piece.

  • Food/Drink/Chem Weight Reduction – Decreases consumable weight.

While these don’t directly increase carry weight, they help free up space, allowing you to carry more essential Fallout 76 items.

4. Excavator Power Armor

If you prefer Power Armor, the Excavator set is the best choice for carry weight. It provides a +100 carry weight bonus when wearing a full set, making it ideal for farming runs and long expeditions.

5. Backpack Modifications

Though not armor, the Backpack (earned through Pioneer Scouts quests) can be upgraded with mods like:

  • High Capacity Mod – Increases carry weight by 60 (but reduces energy and radiation resistance).

  • Grocer’s Mod – Reduces food/drink weight by 90%.

  • Chemist’s Mod – Lowers chem weight by 90%.

Combining a high-capacity backpack with optimized armor can drastically improve your inventory management.
