Overburden Explained In Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon

In its simplest terms, being Overburdened simply means that your AC is carrying too much weight. Each part and weapon has a Weight stat, telling you how heavy it is. There is a limit to how much your AC can carry. The total amount of weight you are able to carry is determined by your Leg Part which has its own unique stat called Load Limit. The higher this stat is, the higher the maximum Current Load stat becomes. This will allow you to carry more weight.

When your AC is Overburdened, there are two ways to get out of it. The first is to go through every part that isn’t your Legs and either remove or replace parts and weapons to lower the weight of your AC. The other way is to equip new Legs that have a high enough Load Limit that your weight becomes lower than your max Current Load.

In addition to editing your AC, there is also an OS Upgrade that you can unlock that will allow you to play missions while Overburdened. This is the Weight Control Upgrade which will not only allow you to enter a mission while carrying too much weight, but it also unlocks the ability to Purge Weapons. This will allow you to drop weapons as you play the mission, lowering your weight instantly. Be aware that going into a mission Overburdened will greatly lower your movement abilities. Purging your weapons will allow you to start a level with a lot of equipment and then drop weight as you need to gain speed.
