You may even find modded pocketed armor on enemies you kill if you get lucky.įirst things first - all of your base components should go into your stash whenever possible. In addition to perks, you can learn armor mods by finding or buying plans, or by scrapping armor - and by learning how to craft "Pocketed" armor, you can increase the carry weight while that armor is equipped. Remember - you can swap out perks as needed once they have been unlocked, allowing you to use these weight related perks when you need them most.
