Do you enjoy having single weapon taking down your entire carry capacity to your knees? This mod alter weight of most weapons in the game in order to allow players to carry them without wasting half of the carry capacity. Great thing for ones who wanna use more than single weapon or anything heavier during adventures.

Version 1.2b
Version 1,2 is grade based and was meant to work nice and easy with import, but sometimes method used had troubles and decided to break for me after i mixed with my load order to be faster
1.2b is model-based it just reduce weight of individual models in all grades by 50%
Because of it 1.2b will not work on modded weapons unlike 1.2
Strength requirements is the same and its weapon weight x4 or blunt damage x40
Katana stays in their vanilla weight, staff too
minimal weight of Sabres and polearm was reduced slightly as in version 1.2
Thanks for being here!
Version 1.2
Version 1.2:
Everything as in 1.1 just 1 detail:
Homemade weapons has their own grade and even best of them does not receive bonuses applied to edge weapons
i created custom bonus -30% weapon weight to all homemade weapons
My weapon mod was made to work with most if not all weapon mods (as long as they use vanilla weapon grades)
Version 1.1
Version 1.1:
quick description: Weapon weight is decreased from Catun 3 to Meitou progressively for all weapons
(all the screenshots are perfectly honest for version 1.1, but i will add couple more of them)
Description:
i had to completely change formula for weapon weight calculation
Weapon's weight gets a natural progression until Catun 3. Then it gets lighter as a form of "buff" until Meituo quality.
-30% for Skeleton smith MKI - MKIII
-50% for Edge I to Edge III
-70% for meitou/cross quality
to add on top of that:
Foreign Sabre minimal weight was reduced from 8kg to 2kg
Desert and Ringed Sabre's from 8kg to 3kg (they have bigger blunt damage than foreign)
Horse Chopper and Holed Sabre from 6kg to 4kg (they are kind of clunky)
Heavy polearm minimal weapon weight was increased from 5kg to 6kg - reason behind it is, for me HEAVY polearm should be slightly HEAVIER than regular polearm (5kg) - high qualities heavy polearm is still lighter with my mod than vanilla 8kg version for meitou, just mentioning all the changes honestly
Version 1.0
Version 1.0: Weight of weapons: Heavy weapons weight reduced by 70% (ex: Fragment Axe Meitou 72kg > 21kg, Falling Sun 40kg > 12kg) Hackers weight reduced by 70% (paladin cross Meitou 32kg > 9kg, Combat Cleaver Meitou 28kg > 8kg) Sabres weight reduced by 50% (ex: Desert and Ringed Sabre Meitou 10kg > 8kg - 8kg is minimal weight for this weapons and for now i decided to keep it this way) no changes for other parameters
Weapon weight in kenshi makes no sense to me and with this mod i m trying to change it. Like only combat style i can imagine for Fragment Axe 72kg is to lift it and drop on enemy feet in battle... =============================================================================================================== About the mod: Mod alternate carry weight of all weapons excluding katanas. Goal was to allow person to carry more than 1 weapon without feeling like they lose carry capacity by doing so A lot of weapon classes have variants for different enemies, whats the point in training character in polearms, blunt or hackers when single good quality weapon is whole 30kg+ and normal characters have 50-170kg carry capacity, and armor =============================================================================================================== Additional info: Mod does not affect strength training with using heavy weapons (exp is calculated on required strength to use weapon) Strength requirements to use weapon with maximum effectiveness stays vanilla and its 40x Blunt damage all updates are described in changelog, feel free to check them out :) =============================================================================================================== My weapon mod was made to work with most if not all weapon mods (as long as they use vanilla weapon grades) =============================================================================================================== You can check out my other mods for kenshi: All my mods for kenshi are available here
