"The Mule is a specialized carry-weight suit that provides 325.3 Bullet Resistance and 45% Bleeding protection at +15. While it offers a bonus to maximum carrying capacity, this utility often comes at the cost of combat effectiveness compared to dedicated protective armors. Its 213 Laceration protection is standard, but the lack of Stability or movement-related traits makes it a risky choice for high-tier PVP. Most experienced players avoid this branch because carry weight is more efficiently managed through artifact builds. It remains a situational option for players who prioritize loot logistics over raw combat survivability in the North."
