You gain +25 lbs. to your carrying capacity, but suffer a -1 to all attributes any time the weight you're carrying drops below 160 lbs.— In-game description

Hoarder is a trait in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Effects[]

Taking this trait grants a benefit of a permanent +25 increase to Carry Weight and a penalty of a temporary -1 to all SPECIAL attributes if one's total carried weight drops below a threshold of 160 lbs.

Notes[]

  • Taking this trait seems to be the only way to permanently raise one's carrying weight above 300 (which already requires having 10 Strength) without installing the Lonesome Road add-on, with 325 as the total possible carry weight. Wearing the NCR "Great Bear" version of the Courier duster and taking the Burden to Bear perk along with this trait, the maximum weight limit becomes a staggering 400 lbs.
  • This trait's penalty is trivial to counter as the minimum weight limit can be maintained by picking up low value miscellaneous items one can drop once it's been achieved. In Hardcore mode, ammunition itself can fill the requirement, allowing a colorful weapons load-out for a Guns user or a more well-armed than usual Energy Weapons user.
