IGN: Death Stranding 2's Cargo System is Way Weirder Than You Think

Death Stranding 2’s cargo system isn’t just about raw weight—it’s all about capacity. This guide unpacks how cargo units are calculated across backpacks, carriers and vehicles, and reveals which items sneakily don’t count toward your load. You’ll learn why “weight” and “capacity” aren’t interchangeable, how small, medium, large and extra-large packages stack up, and why kangaroos (yes, really) can gobble tons of space.

Beyond the basics, you’ll get tips on maxing out the Tri-Cruiser, Off-Roader and various carriers, plus tricks for squeezing extra room in your pack. Dive into the Coffin Board spoiler zone to solve its notorious capacity quirks, figure out why that “worthless scale” actually matters, and finally carry the load of your dreams without leaving Sam stranded.
