Here's another possibility. This one shows an additional map/admin pouch. two pistol mag pouches Four M16 pouches and an IFAK (thats the pouch you can see on the right side of the picture right behind the other mag pouch)

Two images of a plate carrier. The first on is barebones showing a possible usage of the admin pouch I mentioned. The second is almost identical to how I had my vest setup in country.

Good point. It would be really cool if the plate carrier started as a 6 slot additional vest and then as you found pouches for it and attached (Combined) them more slot's would open up. So essential it could work something like this. Plate carrier (4 or 6 slots) PC + Primary mag pouch (additional 2 slots) Up to an additional 3 Primary pouches. PC + PMP + IFAK pouch, which is a first aid pouch (additional 6 slots) ETC ETC And yes I understand that what I just explained takes up more than the original 6 slots on the Plate carrier. The reason for this is that most plate carriers have what is known as an admin pouch built into them which allow you to hold useful items (I.E maps and compass) The MOLLE webbing would therefore allow you to attach many more MOLLE pouches. Effectively allowing additional slots to open up I hope that makes sense to everyone.

Valid point, I wasn't saying only the Military has MOLLE gear, I was just making a point. However as you stated MOLLE is very accessible to the public. I was just giving my two cents based off my experience in the Marines using all types of MOLLE gear. The idea of having a plate carrier is also a great idea, the SAPI plates could be rare spawns at helicopter crashes or barracks. And the benefit of having the plate carrier is that you could either choose to add pouches to it. Or you could run it with just the plates and a combat vest over it.

Honestly, out of all of the suggestions I've seen so far this is the most logical and would be the most useful addition. I understand that this game is about post apocalyptic survival and I love that. But I'm telling you now if I happened to run along a deserted military base or airfield in a real life post apocalyptic world the first damn thing I would look for would be MOLLE gear. The possibilities are endless with it. And the added benefits are that the crucial items you need in combat or lifesaving situations are right on hand and accessible within seconds. This would also force people to use the room in their backpack with more thought. Especially once the tents are added in.
