The floating carrier is both a piece of equipment and a mode of transportation, that allows Sam to more efficiently move cargo across the terrain during his expedition.
Overview[]
The floating carrier helps the user transport large amounts of cargo over long distances. Thanks to its anti-gravity design, it moves smoothly across rough terrain without being hindered. While in use, the carrier consumes chiral crystals from the user’s supply and will automatically stop once the crystals are depleted. If no cargo is loaded, Sam can ride the carrier himself, using it as a personal mode of transportation. Up to two floating carriers can be linked together at once. In addition to cargo, each carrier is also capable of holding up to two body bags containing human corpses.
Description[]
A floating tractor cart that travels largely unimpeded over rough terrain. Carriers are automatically deployed when placed in the field, and can then be loaded with cargo and attached to the waist. Carriers use chiralium to float, and expend chiral crystals while in use. They can also be used as a mode of transport, and up to two can be joined together.

| Name | Descriptions | Materials | Size | Weight | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Floating Carrier (Lv. 2) | An improved version of the Floating Carrier (Lv. 1) that is capable of carrying more cargo. Carriers are automatically deployed when placed in the field, and can then be loaded with cargo and attached to the waist. They can also be used as a means of transport, and up to two can be joined together. Carriers use chiralium to float, and expend chiral crystals while in use. |

Notes[]
- The design data for the carrier is given to Sam as a reward for connecting the Weather Station to the chiral network.
- Floating Carrier (Lv. 1) can carry up to 300 kg and up to six XL containers in volume (see conversions), while Floating Carrier (Lv. 2) can carry up to 600 kg and also up to six XL containers in volume.
- Floating carriers consume chiral crystals at the same rate regardless of load or movement. Crystals will be expended as long as you are connected to a carrier.
- Floating Carrier (Lv. 1) consumes ~20 crystals per hour. One crystal lasts ~3 minutes.
- Floating Carrier (Lv. 2) consumes ~30 crystals per hour. One crystal lasts ~2 minutes.
- When two carriers are linked together, their consumption is stacked. For instance, Level 1 and Level 2 carriers used together will consume ~50 crystals per hour.
- Jumping will cause any carriers you are pulling to "jump" with you.
- You can ride a tethered carrier as long as it's empty, even when you are linking two carriers together.
