What is the weight of a Gold Bar in Fallout: New Vegas?

The story behind the answer

35 Pounds is correct because in Fallout: New Vegas’s Dead Money DLC, each Sierra Madre gold bar item is assigned an in-game weight of 35 lbs. This hefty value is intentional game design: it makes smuggling many bars out of the vault a tense inventory puzzle, forcing players to balance greed against mobility while escaping.

Fun context: Real “Good Delivery” gold bars weigh about 400 troy ounces (~27.4 lbs), so New Vegas’s bars are even heavier, amplifying the challenge. Players often plan builds (high Strength, Pack Rat, Strong Back, Turbo/Stealth tactics) to carry more of them. Memory tip: think “Sierra Madre = 35,” as if each glittering brick “adds 35 burdens” to your pack.
