What is "Fully Geared" to you?

[umberfive 89]

Fully geared means to me having warm and dry clothes, food, something to drink, preferably a canteen, a can opener, something to pew pew, something to bash, preferably an axe, ammo to wreck gas stations and a nice hat. Oh, and do not forget the press vest. Had my previous pristine one for at least 6 months.

I can't see a bayonet on your Mosin.

That thing is ugly and useless. I wont put it on there until i can stab things with it.

Your argument is valid, but you have to agree that it is not fully kitted then. Unfortunately they removed the bipod.

I mean, I can concede the point. Still though, that thing is just a liability.

I think you are fully geared if your main gear (clothes, weapons, attachments) is at a maximum which means replacing any piece would result in lower performance. So in fact there is not a single "fully geared" but rather a number that consists of combinations of "top tier" items:

 

Current "top tier" items would be:

• Smersh Vest+Backpack
• TTsKO Jacket
• Gorka Jacket
• Down Jacket
• Gas Mask
• Balaclava
• Ballistic Helmet
• Pilot/Tanker Helmet
• Boonie Hat
• Wellies
• Military Boots
• Hunting Backpack
• Mountain Backpack
• Gorka Pants
• AKM with PSO-1 Scope, Plastic Buttstock, Drum Magazine and either
  • Handguard Rail with Bipod
  • Plastic Handguard
• Mosin with Longrange Scope and Compensator
• M4 with ACOG Scope, Suppressor, coupled STANAG Magazine and either
  • Handguard RIS, Buttstock MP and Bipod
  • Handguard MP, Buttstock MP
  • Handguard MP, Buttstock CQB
• Machete
• Firefighter Axe
• Improvised Fishing Rod
• Farming Hoe

Why the scopes? Because someone thought it was a good idea to give them negative dispersion modifiers.

It's my favorite melee weapon. Takes up no space (attached to mosin), no draw animation and very easy aiming for zombie-face stabbing headshots.

I consider myself 'fully geared' when i have clothing that i wanted, and my preference is still a tan tactical shirt, and beige cargo pants. I find that this combination provides a good level of cover when in the wild or in cities. 

 

Do binoculars still exist?

 

My essentials for being 'fully geared':

 

Hunting backpack

A decent primary weapon (M4, Moisin or SKS)

A decent scope

Tan Tactical shirt (or decent camo)

Beige cargo trousers (or decent camo)

At least 50-60 rounds for my weapon (more if an M4)

A decent side weapon with at least 3 clips (preferably an FNX)

A morphine pen

Some painkillers

A few bandages

A canteen (preferably two)

Some tinned food and some rice

 

 

Yeah binoculars do exist and are very fine.

I disagree on one point. Smersh vest isn't "top tier" it's "mythical tier"

[Death By Crowbar 1213]

I normally deem myself fully geared when I can breath a sigh of relief and don't feel I'm frantically missing something. The short list of what I need to feel fully geared is:

1. Backpack
2. Something to open cans
3. Ax (fire or splitting)
4. Matches
5. Gun with at least one box of ammo
6. Jacket with at least 4 slots
7. Pants with 6 slots
8. Couple cans of food (after I'm already energized, hydrated, and healthy)
9. Bandages or rags

At this point I relax a bit because I've got the bare minimum to survive and also minimally defend myself. Anything else is gravy and above and beyond what I consider "fully geared", luxuries even. It's at this level of gear where I feel comfortable going on extended missions to any part of the map to look for said luxuries.

Zucchini+Canvas pants

 

All I need to succeed. 

[kakysas666 191]

Anyone with an axe

[foxdie_01 121]

Me currently, not fully geared, no mages for my pistol, but got everything else:

 

[over9000nukez 199]

Where's your compass?  Not fully geared until compass, can opener, and canteen.

canteens are useless, drink at a pond/well in almost every town (except like 5), compass is useless unless you dont know the map, and can opener is the only useful thing you listed

[Krawallkurt 118]

Me in a blue Press Vest!

[Jamz 253]

Good backpack with axe.

 

Everything else is a bonus.

 

Same for me. Everything else is just additional, I'm good at making do.

[Irish. 4886]

As long as I have ruined pants with some duct tape, a wrench, and some pliers.. Im all set.
