This happened to me directly after the March update, and my co-op pal have seen it happen as well.
An item cannot be moved from the stash to the backpack. When trying to move it, the drag and drop is displayed as usual, but when you release the mouse button, the item has not moved. But the total weight in the backpack has increased.
We tried this several times, but the item was stuck, and the weight in the backpack has increased permanently.
For me it was a Hunter Rifle Silencer, and for my friend it was the Adrenalin Shot.
Any other Hunter Rifle Silencer could be moved, but not that particular one.
Restarting the application did not help.
My friend now has 5kg of useless weight, which is permanent, in his backpack.
If you guys are still stuck with permanent dead weight, did you try and store everything you have in your inventory by using “store all in category” option? It’ll might be a pain to sort your inventory back but maybe that’ll fix it (never had this issue so no guarantee)
Thought I had replied to this already, but alas no.
Me and my co-op buddy tried this, to no avail. Both of our inventories have permanent dead weight.
He has about 25kg of dead weight in his inventory, which means that he is basically unable to loot anything after getting equipped for a run…
@Devs, is there any fix to this coming soon? It is unfortunately ruining the gaming experience for some players.
Are you (or anyone else experiencing this issue) on PC? IF you are and would be up for providing us with a copy of your save file that would be quite helpful in our efforts to identify and fix the issue.
Your save file can be found here: Documents\Avalanche Studios\GenerationZero\Saves
Right-click the save folder (containing “savegame” and “savegame.bac”) > send to > compressed (zipped) folder
If you have an item like this in your storage which can’t be retrieved but weight is added to your inventory I would be curious to hear what the item is, AND what the item incorrectly turns into on trying to retrieve it (I recommend having an empty or near empty inventory to test this).
WORKAROUND:
If you have “dead weight” in the inventory that you want to get rid of I suggest you try dropping ALL of the items in your inventory, then pick up what you want to pick up again (and maybe skip the misbehaving item). IF you try this workaround and it works (OR it doesn’t) please reply to this thread and let us know, thanks!
IF you are on PC and experiencing this issue please consider sending us a copy of your save file so we can take a closer look (Follow the steps below).
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for reporting!
Anyone else experiencing this please consider trying this workaround;
Note: It might very well be the case that the item is not the same for you as it is for Jorvan, it could e.g. be a different type of ammo, so make sure to first check what item you get when trying to retrieve the misbehaving item (easiest to do on an empty inventory).
Description: This happened in Dec, before the update that reordered inventory that preceded the US weapons. I was reorganizing Plundra inventory, putting weapons and gear in orders that made more sense, when some of my weapons became irretrievable. When I click on the weapon it is not shifted from the Plundra box to my inventory, however every time I try, a different item from the equipment category is. Neither the Plundra box nor my inventory were full. I tried on six different characters (created several specifically to test it), have restarted the game and console, tried on a different console, and reinstalled. There are four affected weapons: two 5C AI-76’s, a 5C Kvm 89, and a 4C Älgstudsare.
Steps To Reproduce: Problem is ongoing. It seems however that it was triggered by rapidly shifting inventory in and out.

Sorry if this isn’t in the right place, I read the “Read Before Posting,” but I’m new to the forum and may have made a mistake. Thanks for any help, I was playing a lot before this hit me and I’d like to get back to collecting, additionally two of the four affected weapons were gifts when I was new to the game.
Hello.
I purchased the Weapon Bundle, and the N9 and N16 work just fine.
The N60 is in the Storage too, but i cant switch it into my Inventory, no matter what i try!
And yes, the Weight Limit is just fine, i can even unload all Inventory and still cant pick up the N60.
All other Weapons dont make this Problem.
Every Time i try to pick up the N60 from the Storage, it adds 1 Shell of Cal. 12 Buckshot Ammo into my Inventory, but not the N60.
This deadweight bug is happening to myself aswell, its a shame i just got the game and this sorta thing is happening x.x…i hope you guys are actively trying to fix little things like this, ill stick with the game a bit longer because it seems really neat but …dead weight reallllllllyyy hampers the experience lol
Yep same here for the top item in my stash it is a 5star SMG silencer. I cannot take it from stash but it keeps adding weight to my person when I try to take it out. This is still a current bug as of June 2021 and I am not in multiplayer either. This has been happening for days and I fully shutdown by Xbox after every session.
