Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty - How to Increase Carrying Capacity

V's Carrying Capacity determines how much loot they can carry in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Check out our guide to learn how to increase your carrying capacity stat as of Update 2.0.

How to Increase Carrying Capacity

When you start the game, V gets a base of 200 Carrying Capacity. After Update 2.0, carrying capacity can only be raised by either raising your Solo Skill level, getting Cyberware Implants, using Carrying Capacity Shards, or consuming Capacity Boosters.

Raise Your Solo Skill Level to 5 and 25

One of the easiest ways to raise your carrying capacity by 150 is to level up your Solo Skill. This brand new skill introduced in Update 2.0, will grant you +50 carrying capacity at Solo Level 5, and +100 carrying capacity at Solo Level 25. You can raise your Solo Skill easily by using blunt melee weapons to kill enemies.

Implant the Titanium Bones Cyberware

Another way to increase your carrying capacity is by implanting cyberware. Get the Titanium Bones cyberware grafted into your Skeleton to earn +62% carrying capacity at Tier 5.

How to Get Titanium Bones Cyberware

Implant Cyberware with Carrying Capacity as One of Their Bonus Stats

Cyberware implants will have extra bonsues marked in blue text at the bottom of their item tooltips. Players who want more carrying capacity, can slot cyberware implants that rolled with bonus carrying capacity as one of their bonus stats.

Use Carrying Capacity Shards

Carrying Capacity Shards are a new type consumable added in Update 2.0. When used, they function much like Perk Shards, granting you a certain amount of bonus carrying capacity depending on their Tier.

How to Get Carrying Capacity Shards

Consume Capacity Boosters

The Capacity Booster is a consumable that you can use to temporarily increase your carrying capacity by +50%. The effect lasts for 1800 seconds (30 minutes), allowing you to explore and loot without having to worry about the effect ending prematurely.
