More pouch types for the plate carrier

[stielhandgranate 480]

In the military, you get issued a bunch of pouches with certain uses. Some pouches make great additions to the plate carrier in game:

 

Medical pouch

 

Self explanatory. Maybe four slots for med items that can fit left or right of the mag pouches.

 

Hydration system

 

Also known as a cambelpak, some versions that can fit on bodyarmor and some come with straps so the bladder can be detached and used as small packpack. Perhaps the player sips from it automatically when their hydration level is about to drop to thirsty. A nice counterpart to this would be to allow the SMERSH to carry two canteens free as they can in real life.

 

Combat Lifesaver Bag

 

An item that can carry many medical supplies compared to a medical pouch, perhaps at the expense of a backpack.

 

Knife pouch

 

Self explanitory. Allow for knifes and Bayonets.

 

Grenade pouch

 

Self explanitory. Make it compete with space for the knife pouch. Perhaps allow it to carry simliar shaped objects like kiwis or oranges.

 

Counter IED Device

 

Something like the THOR, http://www.marcorsyscom.marines.mil/Portals/105/PMMC3/MC3PDF/3%201%20THOR%20III%20CREW%20FACT%20SHEET.pdf

The item could jam command detonated exploves such as IEDs or other radio controled explosives when they become an element of the game. It would have the side effect of jamming radios, taking the back pack slot and needing to be recharged. Would compete for space with the CLS bag. Both would give groups "Jobs" and show outsiders what others are tasked to do in their group.

 

Radiotelephone

 

Something like the AN/PRC-117 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/PRC-117F

 

Backpack slot again, has a scan feature that can pick up transmissions on multiple bandwiths. Needs a lot of power. Generates heat and weighs the operator down.

Sure why not will expand the plate carriers ability's also maybe can we can get different colors black or green of the pouches and plate carrier both can be spray painted.

All of these should be rare just like the pouches and gun holster.

Radiotelephone, basic grenade/knife/radio/canteen pouches, and hydration packs that you specifically store water within would be good, however I don't think we need to go super in depth for medical ones and whatnot.

 

If they didn't want to get too specific then I'd be perfectly okay with just some small, medium, and large "utility pouches" which, for all intents and purposes, just increased the amount of stuff you could carry.
