Ds3 Equip Load (2025)

FAQs

What should my equip load be in DS3? ›

The easiest way to do so is to level your Vitality, as it directly increases your maximum equipment load. There is a soft-cap at 40, after which you will see heavily diminishing returns per level invested. There are a few rings that also increase your equipment load. Havel's Ring does so by the most.

If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 100 Hours to obtain 100% completion.

Fast Roll. Players have a fast roll if their equipment weight is 25% or less of their maximum equipment load.

The Tarnished's Equip Load affects their movement speed, and increases as the Tarnished equips more items in their equipment slots. It will also affect the amount of invincibility frames and recovery frames, with heavier equipped loads affecting them negatively.

Still, if you're looking for a world without summons, Dark Souls 3 stands as one of FromSoftware's greatest achievements, and playing a Strength build is one of the best ways to play.

The Great-Jar's Arsenal in Elden Ring is a highly valuable item to pick up, increasing your character's Equip Load by 19%, thus, allowing you to attach more items to their armor and weapon slots.

However, that defensive protection comes with a heavy equipment load that affects how quickly you can roll. Should your equipment load hit a certain threshold, you'll "fat roll," and have a very difficult time avoiding attacks, but it's actually very easy to get rid of this right away.

Vitality strongly increases the four subtypes of Physical Defense by 1-2 per point of Vitality between 15 and 40. At lower and higher levels, each point of Vitality increases Physical Defense by only 0.5-1 points. Vitality also increases Poison Resistance by 3 per point of Vitality between a score of 30-40.

Dark Souls 3 is one of the harder games to 100% because of the cryptic questlines that have strict requirements as well as acquiring items that are Rare and hard to find.

Can you 100% DS3 without DLC? ›

The DLCs are NOT required for 100% completion.

What are the equip load thresholds in DS3? As far as I understand it, below 30.0% is the fast roll, 30-70% is the mid roll, and 70%+ is the fat roll. Except that mid roll isn't as bad in this as it was in DS1 compared to fast roll.

A player's maximum Equip Load can be increased by adding points to Endurance. Endurance is one of the 8 Main Attributes that players can spend Runes on to level up. The ability to level up is unlocked shortly after meeting Melina for the first time near the beginning of the game.

Under 30% equip load gives you an extended roll. Everywhere between 30% and 70% is just normal weight.

Without knowing what weapon you're going to use, there's not a good rule of thumb. A dex build wants to aim for 30 Dex (1st soft-cap), 40 Dex (2nd soft-cap), then 60+ Dex bc scaling keeps going to 99 (not every weapon, but Dex/sharp weapons keep gaining AR from 60->99, and the scaling from 40->60 is inconsistent).
