Critics complained that the weight limit and the associated Mali were particularly accurate for beginners about what the game is about: Collect prey.
If the new system exceeds the 40 kilogram limit, the character slows down and consumes stamina faster. He also makes louder noises, which often ends in death in Tarkov because you draw attention to your opponents.

Update 0.12.4.6 makes Tarkov lighter – and heavier
In addition to a number of bug fixes and exploit repair, developer Battlestate Games is making two important changes to the new weight system:
Tarkov gets even harder: On the one hand, your character now makes a heavy breathing sound when the stamina is exhausted. This makes it potentially easier to discover if you run too much and / or carry too much. There is also a tremor in the hands.
Tarkov is getting a little easier: On the other hand, a lower weight now leads to you leveling up your strength skill. From now on you will level your strength from 48.75 kilos, everything below this weight will level your stamina.
The complete patch notes for the update, which is called full version number 0.12.4.6440, can be found on page 2 of this message. The German translation comes from the official Tarkov forum.
