It seems when a soldier has above 10 summary weight in ready slots you lose some movement speed (overall weight IS within the limit or even under it). But it’s kind of inconsistent - sometimes I get move reduction, sometimes I don’t. Can’t know for sure until I’m in combat. Is this unexplained feature or bug? If feature, how exactly it works? ---

I just go by the little line under the soldier. When it goes red I remove something. ---

You mean like a itemised of all your gear? ---

Experimented a bit more with it. Seems there is just a bug with equipment weight at mission start. Ready slots weight wasn’t what was causing it. 2 cases of same loadout (anu assault legs, golem body, eidolon helm + gauss heavy + synedrion sniper), with only one difference: 15/16 weight vs 16/16 (extra sniper clip). 16/16 works as it’s supposed to. 15/16 get -1 extra movement. If I drop anything and pickup during mission I get correct max movement.
