Weight penalty on movement speed

[eggroll_666]

Hey guys. I've just been wondering if anyone knows exactly how much 1 weight block slows you down. I've heard that each block takes down 1% speed, but I can't seem to find anything that can really confirm it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know the exact answer, hopefully scary ghost or someone else will chime in but, I do remember him mentioning it depends on the percentage of weight and doesn't go by blocks. So a level six support carrying max weight will go the same speed as any other class with max weight. Well at least that's how I remember it.

Do the test if you want , make a clip of you running with 1 block , then made one running with 15 blocks , and then with 24 ( Support Lvl 6)
Then take the time of each one and you'll see who's faster.
I'd do it myself but im really lazy to do so.

Yeah, it's a ratio of your current carry weight to your max carry weight. 24/24 support moves at equal speed as a 15/15 non-support and 15/24 support moves slightly faster, excluding zerker and medic of course.

Do you know the exact percentage in speed decrease for a full load?

I thought it was somewheres around 20%. Not hugely significant, but noticeable, especially with speed-increasing perks.

The multiplier for weight bonuses ranges from 0.87x to 1.0x. So the increment is for each block is:

0.13/Max carry weight​

There is also a pretty hefty bonus for carrying melee weapons and the medic gets universal speed bonuse so carrying 15/24 weight as a support won't be that noticeable unless you're running a long distance.
