How to Increase Carry Weight in Dune Awakening

Players will be scouring the regions of Hagga Basin and the Deep Desert in search of valuable resources to build their base and equipment in Dune Awakening. As you progress further into the game, carrying resources, especially ores, will become increasingly heavier due to weight limits on the character. While there isn’t a method or a skill yet to increase the maximum weight of the character, there are other ways you can optimize resource gathering in the game.

How to Increase Carry Weight in Dune Awakening

The character in Dune Awakening has a weight limit of 175 volume and 35 slots to store items. While this may seem enough at the start of the game, weight management will become much more tricky as the resources become heavier and your equipment arsenal expands.

Unlike health and stamina, whose max values can be increased by investing points in the skill trees, maximum weight doesn’t work like that. There aren’t any accessories or skills that players can use to increase their character’s max carry weight. However, that’s where your vehicles and their storage upgrades come in.

Sandbike

You’ll start off with the Sandbike being your first vehicle in Dune Awakening. While you won’t have any storage modifications for the bike at the start, you can make one as you progress into the Iron tier.

The Sandbike Inventory MK2 upgrade has a carry capacity of 250 volumes, which can comfortably store a large amount of iron ore and other resources. Unfortunately, there aren’t any storage upgrades past MK2 that players can install on the Sandbike to increase storage capacity.

Buggy

In the Steel tier, you’ll be able to craft your own buggy, which offers the highest storage capacity out of all the vehicles in the game.

The vehicle can be modified with the Buggy Storage MK3 upgrade that allows players to store up to 1500 volume inside it. Pair that with the Buggy Cutteray, and you’ll mine tons of ore, and store it up to bring back to your base. Players can upgrade the storage further to increase the Buggy’s carry capacity to 2000 and 3000 volumes.

Scout Ornithopter

Lastly, progressing into the Aluminum tier will allow players to craft a Scout Ornithopter, which will also allow you to craft the Storage MK4 upgrade for it. It has a carry capacity of 500 volumes, which is more than a Sandbike but significantly less than a buggy.

Players will eventually progress to the Duraluminum tier, which allows them to craft an Assault Ornithopter. This Ornithopter can be modified with the Assault Ornithopter Storage MK5 upgrade, which allows you to store up to 1000 volumes in it in Dune Awakening.
