What is the New World Armor Weight Calculator?

In Amazon Games’ New World, your armor weight is not just a cosmetic choice. It directly impacts your gameplay mechanics. This calculator helps you mix and match different armor types (Light, Medium, Heavy) to stay within a specific weight threshold.

Being in the “Light” category allows for a quick dodge roll and a 20% damage bonus, while “Heavy” provides a block stability boost and increased duration for crowd control effects at the cost of mobility.

How to Calculate Armor Weight (Example)

  1. Equip your desired pieces (e.g., Medium Chest, Light everything else).
  2. Sum the weights: Head (1.5) + Chest (4.0) + Hands (1.5) + Legs (2.0) + Feet (1.5) = 10.5 lbs.
  3. Compare to thresholds: 10.5 lbs is less than 13.0 lbs, placing you in the Light category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the shield count if it is on my back? No, the shield weight only counts when it is actively held in your hand with a sword.

What is the “Optimal” Medium setup? Many players use a Heavy Head, Heavy Chest, Medium Boots, Medium Gloves, and Light Pants to reach exactly 22.9 lbs.

What is the Light dodge bonus? Light weight gives you a 20% damage bonus and a long-range dodge roll.

Can I use a Shield with Light armor? Yes, but a Round Shield weights around 2.2 lbs, which often pushes Light builds into the Medium category.
