Have you ever tried hauling dozens of ore stacks, piles of food, or generous amounts of loot back to base, only to find yourself overencumbered and sluggish? Sometimes, the carry weight system in Palworld can unsurprisingly feel like a major hassle, especially if you’re in the early game and don’t have much carry capacity or ability to increase the amount you can store.
Fortunately, if you’ve been frustrated by this, there’s a way around it with the Carry Weight Glitch, which allows you to move large item stacks between storage containers without being encumbered!

The Carry Weight Glitch in Palworld is one of the easiest ways in the game to increase your carry capacity in the game - however, it’s not something you’ll normally stumble across in the game by accident. Indeed, you’ll need to complete a couple of specific steps to trigger the Carry Weight Glitch in Palworld, and these are as follows.
First, open a Storage Box in your base; any storage container works for this. Then, select an item or resource stack in your pockets using the Left Click button; this should preferably be something heavy or a stack that pushes you near or over your carry limit to help as much as possible. Then, while still holding down with the Left Click button, press the Tab key to close your storage.
If you’ve done this process right, the game will consider that you’re still “holding” the stack for transfer into your base, and you’ll see a small icon of the item/resource floating with your cursor. Then, simply run to another storage container, open it, and release the Left Click button over a free slot inside. This transfers the stack there immediately, even if your pockets were originally full.
If everything lines up and you’ve done the glitch properly, you’ll have successfully moved an incredibly heavy stack without suffering the usual Palworld movement and overencumbered penalties.

Palworld’s carry weight glitch is definitely one of the more useful and helpful exploits in the game, especially if you’ve been trying to sort out your base and move a large amount of items and stacks at once. Indeed, with the carry weight glitch, you can transfer large stacks of potentially very heavy items (such as ore, materials, and resources) in one go without having to split them into smaller loads - making it an excellent solution to this tricky problem.
Notably, since you don’t slow down or have to manage weight penalties, you can haul more items in fewer trips, rather than having to break stacks down into manageable loads. Plus, this is especially useful if your chests are spread out, in which case, trudging at a snail’s pace between each one could become frustrating very quickly!
It’s worth noting here, however, that the glitch is only reported to work on PC, with keyboard and mouse controls. As such, it does not work on Xbox, so console Palworld players will unfortunately need to stick with the traditional means of movement. Plus, as with any glitch, there’s no guarantee that the exploit will continue to be effective for the long term perspective, and it may be patched out at any point.

No, it shouldn’t do. The carry weight glitch is generally considered safe in terms of not corrupting saves, but because it’s an exploit, there’s always risk involved. Playing on a private Palworld server may give additional confidence in this regard.
Yes! Any base storage container or chest seems to work, so long as you carry out the glitch successfully.
Yes - that’s part of what makes it so useful! Even heavy stacks in Palworld above your normal carry limit can be moved using this carry weight glitch, making it easier to rearrange your chests and storage.
The Carry Weight Glitch is one of those odd quirks in Palworld that can help make your game so much easier, and it’s also got the added benefit of being largely a quality of life glitch; it doesn’t break the game or even change what you can do, but it simply allows you to move heavy stacks in Palworld without having the hassle of being overencumbered.
However, it could be fixed in any future patches or updates to the game, so make sure you keep an eye out for that before relying too heavily on the glitch; it’s always better to plan your storage carefully to begin with if possible!
