Bugs and Exploits: Quartermaster Burden Exploit - Weightless apparel

[My_DearestWormwood]

• What is your character name in New World: Uncle Screwtape

• What server/world did you experience your issue on: GlubDribDrub

• Describe the issue you are experiencing: When moving a Rugged Adventure satchel with quartermaster perk back and forth from inventory the effective weight was “squashed”. In other words, the original value of weight changed when i put the bag back in the slot; it should have been the same a before. I kept doing it trying to figure it out and little by little it eventually stopped at 2.7 weight… i realized my armor basically was weightless. The top end changes but the weight of my armor sets i carry around is registering at 2.7weight. (i have like 20 pieces of armor)

• Is this a bug or an exploit: Exploit

bug|690x388

• What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Same as above:
  (I just made my 3rd bag, was trying to decide which to keep.)
  -Moved them in and out of slot to see effective weight difference.
  -Bag with Quartermaster burden values kept shrinking. I would put in slot, then drop in inventory. Put it back and the weight kept going down instead of returning to its original value. The percentage didnt reset or somthing.

i should mention that my other blue bag, which I kept slotted, also had the quartermaster burden perk which could be part of whats making the calculations go wrong like that.

i just noticed it re-writes the weight of the item. Luckily it does NOT change the weight class when wearing it.
