Broad Shoulders is considered a top-tier, must-have skill in ARC Raiders for nearly every playstyle, offering a crucial +2kg weight capacity per point (up to +10kg total). This QoL upgrade allows you to hoard more loot, avoid overencumbrance, and comfortably carry extra gear.
Essential for Combat: For PvPers, it helps manage extra weapons, armor, and augments picked up from bodies.
Best Time to Get: It is best unlocked after securing Marathon Runner and Youthful Lungs for mobility.
If you are over-encumbered even with the perk, it may be a known UI bug where the weight limit doesn't refresh properly. Dropping and picking back up an item while "topside" (during a raid) often forces the game to recalculate your new capacity.
| Skill | Broad Shoulders (Survivor Tree) | Loaded Arms (Conditioning Tree) |
|---|---|---|
| Effect | Increases your overall maximum carry weight. | Heavily reduces the weight of equipped weapons (up to 50% reduction). |
| Best For | Carrying more loot in general, regardless of what you are holding. | Players running heavy, high-tier primary weapons and attachments. |
| Tip | Often considered a "must-have" for hoarding loot. | Highly efficient, makes heavy weapons lighter without taking up extra backpack space. |
Early/General Use: Broad Shoulders is generally more useful as a baseline, as it works on all items, including weapons when unequipped.
Endgame/Heavy Loadouts: Loaded Arms is superior for heavy weapon users to prevent being overencumbered while carrying maxed-out gear.
Combined: Combining both skills provides the highest possible efficiency, allowing you to carry massive amounts of loot.
