Limited backpack tutorial

Maybe you think the fact that Lara can carry any number of things in her backpack is nonsense. Then possibly you’re right because it seems a bit odd that she can carry her backpack even when it is full of much stuff, doesn’t it?

How much does her backpack weigh when it is full of ammunition, keys, medipacks etc.? About 100 kilograms? Or more? Or less?

I don’t know but the point is I don’t think she manages to carry a backpack, hopping easily from ledges to ledges, when that weighs more than about 20 kilograms.

This setup will print the actual weight of the backpack on the screen. If the backpack becomes too heavy when she picks up an item, then she is not able to move, due to the much weight.

To make Lara be able to move again, you need to drop an item – a weapon, a bunch of flares or anything else, including even a key item – that makes the backpack easier, hitting a particular key of the keyboard, choosing a particular amount of a particular item, in the pop-up menu.

Or, if you want to prevent Lara from being “frozen” like that, then you can hit that key even any time during the game, or you can ease the backpack even in the common way (eg. shoot with the Uzis to get rid of some amount and weight of Uzi ammunition).

The setup is very complicated, recommended only patient builders who are TRNG experts!
