Suggestions: Belts, Pouches, First Aid Kits, Multi-Tools!

Recommended Posts

Two things that always irk me, but got me thinking; There aren't any differences in the Belt and Tactical Belt (other than looks) and why can't First Aid Pouch attach to belts? So, I come up with an idea on how to change up belts slightly and make them more 'custom' (for want of a better word) and lots more additions for different types of pouches.

The main change would be: There aren't slots for specific items; eg, slot for sheathe, holster and canteen. There would be X amount of slots per belt, which can equip any mix of "Attachable-To-Belt" items.
NOTE: The pouch sizes I've given are just some random sizes used as examples. Also, I play on console so please don't just reply with "There's mods for this!".

BELTS:
Tool Belt: Can attach 1 belt item, but has 3 specific slots for any mix of; hammer, screw driver, wrench, basic multi tool, pliers. Somewhat common around construction/industrial areas.
Regular Belt: Can attach 2 belt items.
Tactical Belt: Can attach 4 belt items.
Combat Belt: Can attach 4 belt items, comes with built-in Holster and Magazine Pouch. Very rare belt, found around heli-crashes and Tier 4 places. Comes in Black, Tan and Olive.

BELT ATTACHMENTS:
Sheathe, Canteen, Holster: Works the same. Can be equipped to any "belt-attachment slot". Meaning, you could carry 4 Canteens on your Tactical Belt if you wish. Comes in Black, Olive or Tan.
Multi-Tool Pouch: Offers a 1x3 storage; mainly used for Basic Multi-Tool, but can hold anything. Somewhat common around construction/industrial areas. Comes in Black.
First Aid Pouch: Can now be attached to a "belt-attachment slot".
Pouch: Offers a 3x3 storage; same as the First Aid Pouch, slightly rarer. Found in construction, industrial and hunting areas. Come in Black, Olive or Tan. (If Leather Crafting comes back, could be Craftable)
Dry Pouch: Offers 3x3 storage, but is water-proof. Comes in the same colours as Drysacks, found in the same areas.
Magazine Pouches: Can hold 2 magazines, EXCEPT COUPLED AND DRUM MAGS, NOTHING ELSE. Takes up 1 belt-attachment slot. Comes in Black, Olive or Tan. Rare, found in military locations.
Grenade Pouches: Can hold 2 grenades, NOTHING ELSE. Takes up 1 belt-attachment slot. Comes in Black, Olive or Tan. Rare, found in military locations.
Tactical Pouch: Takes up 3 belt-attachment slots (meaning it can only attach to Tactical or Combat Belts), but offers 6x3 storage. Very rare, found in military areas. Come in Black, Olive or Tan.
Plate-Carrier Pouches: Can only be attached to Combat Belt and takes up 4 slots (meaning it can only attach to Tactical or Combat Belts).
[As with other storage such as Drysacks, Crates, etc; these items are the same size as the storage inside them. Meaning they can be placed in other containers when they have items inside them. All Pouches are repaired with either Ducttape or Sewing Kit. Tactical/Plate-Carrier Pouches repaired with Leather Sewing Kit.]

MULTI-TOOLS:
Swiss-Army Knife: A small 1x2 item. Does the task of knife, can opener and screw driver. but loses ALOT more durabilty when doing them. So it doesn't last as long as other tools, but can multi-task. Cannot be repaired.
Basic Multi-Tool: A medium sized 1x4 item. Does the tasks of pliers, knife, screw driver, can opener and wrench. As with Swiss-Army Knife, loses lots more durability than normal.
Advanced Multi-Tool: A larger 2x4. item Does the tasks of pliers, knife, screw driver, can opener, wrench, saw, hammer and axe. As with Basic Multi-Tool, loses lots more durability than normal.

All good ideas and plenty to work with. I also think this could do with some work.

One thing I would add though (sorry if I missed it) is that anything 'attached' to a belt or piece of clothing should be equipable from the hot wheel, much like 'toggle lights' appears when you attach NVG and a torch to the tactical helmet.

That would be cool. Maybe the grenade and magazine pouches gives you a an extra slot on the wheel, and you go to a sub-wheel (like the Tactical Helm with a NVG and Light on) and you can take the items from that. Same with vests and their grenades tbh
