Progression and Strategy

Weight lifting is relatively quick and easy to level. Level 1 is rather weak, but Level 4 is very powerful. Weight lifting is not necessarily a 'must have' skill, but it is almost always very useful. As inventory management is a core part of Starfield, it's hard to go wrong with a larger inventory.

Its main benefit is that the player will get more wealth over time, as they are able to bring more goods to the vendors. Most of the weight in Starfield is from weapons or apparel, so Weight Lifting could be key if the player favors a diverse arsenal. Crafting materials are usually pretty light, but their weight does add up over time.
