Do carry capacity modifiers work on companions?
I've read that Preston has a carry weight of 165lbs. If I equip him with modified items (such as pocketed armour pieces), will it increase his carry capacity?
Best Answer
A companion will profit from any equipment as well as you do. This includes carry weight, S.P.E.C.I.A.L Attributes or the effects of legendary gear.

Answer 2
Actually I think SPECIAL attributes remain unaffected. I equipped Cait with the Grognak costume, which is supposed to increase STRENGTH by 2. But her Carry weight did not increase. Don't know about pocketed armor, though.
Edit: As other have pointed out in the meantime, it actually does affect carry weight! But one has to get out of the trade-menu and re-enter for the effect to kick in. My bad!
Answer 3
Weapons with the Unlimited Ammo perk still consume ammo. The perk just means you never have to reload the magazine. Say you have a combat rifle with a large quick eject magazine that hold 40 rounds. With the unlimited ammo perk, you never have to reload the magazine after 40 rounds.
