Elden Ring Equip Load Formula
The Equip Load is determined by your Maximum Equip Load (Max Load), which is based on your Endurance level, and your Current Equipment Weight (Current Load).
• Light: Ratio < 30.0%
• Medium: 30.0% $\le$ Ratio < 70.0%
• Heavy: 70.0% $\le$ Ratio < 100.0%
• Overloaded: Ratio $\ge$ 100.0%

Variables
- Endurance (END) Level: Your character’s current Endurance attribute score, which directly determines the base Maximum Equip Load.
- Current Equipment Weight: The sum of the weight of all equipped weapons, shields, and armor pieces.
- Max Equip Load % Bonus: Percentage increase to Max Load granted by certain Talismans (e.g., Great-Jar’s Arsenal: +19%).
- Flat Max Equip Load Bonus: A flat weight increase to Max Load, often from specific equipment or buffs.
What is Equip Load in Elden Ring?
Equip Load is a core mechanic in Elden Ring that dictates the player’s mobility, specifically the type of dodge/roll they perform and their stamina regeneration rate. Maintaining an optimal Equip Load is essential for survival and effective combat against the game’s formidable bosses and enemies.
Higher Equip Load means slower rolls, decreased dodge distance, and slower stamina regeneration. The critical thresholds (Light, Medium, Heavy) significantly change gameplay, with the Light Roll offering the highest number of Invincibility Frames (I-frames) and fastest recovery, and the Heavy Roll providing almost no utility in serious combat.
The Overloaded status (Ratio $\ge$ 100.0%) completely removes the ability to roll, replacing it with a slow shuffle, making the player extremely vulnerable. Players typically aim for the Medium or Light roll categories to maximize combat effectiveness while using desired armor and weapons.
How to Calculate Equip Load (Example)
- Determine Base Max Load: Start with your END level (e.g., 30 END). The calculator determines the Base Max Load (e.g., 76.5 at END 30).
- Apply Bonuses: Add any flat bonuses and then apply percentage bonuses from Talismans (e.g., Great-Jar’s Arsenal +19%).
$$\text{Final Max Load} = (\text{Base Max Load} + \text{Flat Bonus}) \times (1 + \text{Percentage Bonus})$$
- Find Current Load: Sum the weights of all currently equipped gear (e.g., 55.0 total weight).
- Calculate Ratio: Divide Current Load by Final Max Load and multiply by 100.
$$\text{Ratio} = \frac{55.0}{\text{Final Max Load}} \times 100$$
- Determine Roll Type: Use the resulting ratio to identify the corresponding roll type (e.g., if the ratio is 58%, the roll type is Medium).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the maximum Equip Load in Elden Ring?
The absolute maximum Equip Load is achieved at 99 Endurance, which provides a Base Max Load of approximately 125.5. This can be further boosted by Talismans like Great-Jar’s Arsenal and Erdtree’s Favor +2, potentially exceeding 170.0 total Max Load.
Does Equip Load affect my running speed?
No, running speed itself is not affected by Equip Load. However, the stamina cost of running and the speed of your roll/dodge animation are heavily influenced by the Equip Load Ratio.
How much Endurance do I need for a Light Roll?
The Endurance needed depends entirely on your total gear weight. If your gear weighs 20.0, you would need a Max Load of at least 66.67 to stay below the 30% Light Roll threshold. This requires approximately 29-30 Endurance without any Equip Load boosting Talismans.
What is the best Talisman for increasing Max Load?
The Great-Jar’s Arsenal Talisman provides a significant percentage increase to your Max Load (19%), making it one of the best for maintaining a light or medium roll while wearing heavy armor.
