Mechanics
What Used To The Weight does
Used To The Weight reduces how much a shield slows movement. The effect is tied to carrying a shield and should be evaluated as movement consistency under equipment weight, not as extra shield durability.
Build fit
Who should take it
It fits armored squad, PvE and extraction builds that expect to keep a shield equipped while rotating. It also unlocks both primary Conditioning paths.
Tradeoff
What the points do not solve
Light or deliberately unshielded loadouts receive less practical value. Spending five ranks here early delays specialized stamina, downed-state or melee utility farther down the tree.
Picking order
When to allocate it
As the Conditioning root, it can be taken immediately. Buy enough ranks to support the chosen equipment plan, then follow the branch needed by the rest of the allocation.
