Armour Loading and Movement Speed

Understand how armour loading and weight limit affect Harkyn's movement speed in Lords of the Fallen, from fast to slow.

Harkyn has a total weight limit that dictates which weapons and armour he can use. Heavy armour sets and two-handed weapons weigh significantly more than light armour and one-handed weapons.

Depending on how much of this weight limit is used, Harkyn's movement speed will change. There are three distinct movement speeds:

• Fast movement speed: 25% loading and below.
• Medium movement speed: Between 25% and 75% loading.
• Slow movement speed: 50% loading and above.

Movement speed is do-or-die for Harkyn's ability to navigate the battlefield. Faster movement allows for greater manoeuvrability at the cost of less armour, while heavier armour significantly reduces movement speed. A balanced medium speed is generally recommended for most of the game.
