Heavyweight is a perk in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.

EffectsEdit

The weight of all weapons over 10 pounds is cut in half. This does not affect weapons modded to weigh under 10 pounds. This is very useful for people who like to carry around large and heavy weapons such as the minigun and the missile launcher. It is also a good perk for people that don't use heavy weapons, because it gives the affected weapons a much better value:weight ratio, and allows you to then carry additional gear.
