The power skeleton is an active skeleton, a type of equipment that aids Sam during his expedition by enhancing his load-bearing capacity, allowing him to carry heavy cargo with reduced strain.

Overview[]

This skeleton enhances Sam’s ability to carry heavier cargo and maintain better balance, making it especially useful for long hauls and uneven terrain. When equipped, it allows Sam to carry up to an additional 120 kg beyond his standard limit. It also offers a moderate sprint speed when boosting and reduces stamina loss while moving through rough areas. Like all active skeletons, it consumes battery power during use, with boost draining it at an accelerated rate. The power skeleton’s design and upgrades are provided by the Engineer.

Description[]

An "Active Skeleton" that reduces cargo burden by bearing some of the weight. The wearer's cargo-carrying capacity will be greatly increased while the skeleton is equipped and battery power is available.

Be aware that boosting will drain battery at an accelerated rate. Keep an eye on your battery levels.

The battery will gradually recharge in sunny or cloudy weather.

Cargo cannot be attached to the hips while using a Power Skeleton.
