Every RPG player has a little bit of a “loot goblin” inside them. If it’s not nailed down to the floor, we want to put it in our pockets.
Far Far West actively punishes this playstyle. The game features a hyper-realistic weight and inventory system. Every single can of baked beans, revolver cartridge, and animal pelt adds physical weight to your character. Once you hit that invisible cap, the game stops you in your tracks.
If you are tired of playing inventory tetris in the middle of a gunfight, deciding whether you should drop a health tonic or a piece of silver jewelry, this guide is for you. Here is exactly how the weight system works, how to upgrade your stash natively, and how to completely turn it off.
1. The “Overencumbered” Penalty Explained
In Far Far West, hitting your weight limit doesn’t just stop you from picking up new items—it physically cripples your character.
Once your inventory reaches 100% capacity, you receive the Overencumbered status effect.
- ✦No Sprinting: You are restricted to a slow jog, making you an easy target in combat.
- ✦Double Stamina Drain: Your inner stamina core drains twice as fast.
- ✦Fast Travel Disabled: You cannot use stagecoaches or train stations while over the weight limit, forcing you to walk to the nearest vendor.
2. How to Upgrade Your Satchel (Vanilla Method)
If you want to play strictly by the developer’s rules, you need to upgrade your physical satchel. This is a massive grind, but it is the only native way to increase your personal carrying capacity.
Head to your main camp and speak to the Quartermaster. He can craft specific satchels, but you must bring him 3-Star Pristine Pelts and a fully upgraded Leatherworking Tool.
- ▸Materials Satchel: Requires 1 Perfect Boar Pelt, 1 Perfect Iguana Pelt. (Increases crafting material capacity from 10 to 30).
- ▸Tonics Satchel: Requires 1 Perfect Deer Pelt, 1 Perfect Buck Pelt. (Increases potion capacity).
- ▸Legendary Explorer Satchel: You must craft ALL other satchels first, then provide 1 Perfect Cougar Pelt, 1 Perfect Wolf Pelt, and 1 Perfect Panther Pelt. This ultimately doubles your total weight capacity for all items.
Hunting a perfect Panther without dying is one of the hardest challenges in the early game. Make sure you use a scoped rifle with High-Velocity rounds and aim directly for the heart.
3. Optimizing Horse and Camp Storage Boxes
Your horse and your camp are basically moving backpacks. You should never be carrying heavy animal pelts or more than two long-arm weapons on your physical character.
- ✦Stow Heavy Items: Approach your horse and hold the ‘Stow’ button to transfer large pelts and animal carcasses onto the back of the saddle.
- ✦Buy Heavy Saddlebags: Visit any stable in a major town (like Dust Creek). Buying the “Heavy Duty Canvas Saddlebags” costs 150 Gold Nuggets but drastically increases the amount of outfits and provisions your horse can carry.
- ✦The Camp Stash Box Location: Many players miss this! At the foot of your bed in the main camp, there is a large wooden trunk. This is your permanent stash limit safe zone. It has infinite weight capacity for storing unique weapons, excess ammo, and crafting materials.
4. Inventory Management: What Items to Drop First
When you are deep in a dungeon or bandit camp and hit the weight limit, you need to know how to drop items efficiently without losing money.
- ▸Drop Rotten Food: Meat spoils in Far Far West. Check your provisions tab and discard any “Spoiled Venison” or “Rotten Rabbit.” They weigh a lot and will actively poison you if eaten.
- ▸Discard Empty Bottles: After drinking tonics, the empty glass bottles remain in your inventory. Discard them immediately.
- ▸Never Drop Valuables: Keep Gold Nuggets, Silver Buckles, and Pocket Watches. Their weight-to-value ratio is incredibly high. If you must drop something, drop cheap canned vegetables instead.
5. The Ultimate Fix: Bypass Weight Limits with XMODhub
Let’s be honest. Spending 15 hours hunting for a perfect Iguana pelt just so you can carry three extra cans of beans is not fun. It’s padding. When you clear out a massive bandit fortress, you want to loot everything and leave.
If you want to completely ignore the inventory micro-management, the XMODhub PC Client is your ultimate escape rope.
By running XMODhub securely in the background, you can inject a QoL (Quality of Life) command that freezes your inventory weight at zero, regardless of how much you pick up.
How to Carry Infinite Items:
- Launch the Client: Open the XMODhub desktop app before starting your game.

- Find Your Game: Search for Far Far West and click “Play.”
- Toggle the Cheat: Once in the game, open the XMODhub overlay and toggle on “Ignore Inventory Weight Limit.”

That’s it. You can now pick up 50 rifles, 999 cans of food, and every single gold bar you find without ever seeing the “Overencumbered” screen again. Because XMODhub operates directly in your PC’s active memory, it doesn’t corrupt your save files, making it completely safe for single-player use.
6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I drop items in Far Far West?
A: Open your satchel inventory menu, highlight the item you want to drop, and hold the “Discard” button (usually ‘X’ on a controller or ‘Backspace’ on a keyboard). Be careful: dropped items despawn very quickly.
Q: Does ammo count towards my stash limit?
A: Yes. Unlike older RPGs where ammo is weightless, carrying 500 rounds of repeater ammo will noticeably impact your physical inventory weight. Store excess ammo in your Camp Stash Box.
Q: Why can’t I pick up this weapon even with space in my inventory?
A: You can only carry one sidearm and one long-arm weapon on your body by default (until you unlock the off-hand holster from the Gunsmith). Even if you have weight capacity, you must swap your current weapon to pick up a new one from the ground.
7. Final Thoughts: Unleash Your Inner Loot Goblin
Weight limits in modern RPGs are a controversial topic. While they add a layer of realism and survival friction, they often disrupt the pacing of an otherwise incredible adventure. You shouldn’t have to leave hard-earned loot in the dirt just because the game says your pockets are full.
Whether you decide to grind out the Legendary Explorer Satchel, manage your camp storage box, or simply click a button to remove the mechanic entirely, the choice should be yours.
If you prefer the stress-free approach, the XMODhub app is your best friend. With secure, undetectable cheats for over 5,000+ PC games, the exact same app you use to bypass weight limits in Far Far West can also give you infinite inventory space and God Mode in massive titles like Campo stellare, Fallout 4, Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, e The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Stop playing inventory tetris. Loot everything, and conquer the West on your own terms.
