Standalone Suggestion - Customizable Pouches/Player Inventory

[Wwalker327 3]

I would like to see in the standalone the ablility to customize our inventory/bags by finding items such as different kinds of pouches, drop leg holsters, hydration bladders, etc.

Maybe allow for certain backpacks to have MOLLE attachement points so that additional storage can be added but maybe restrict the storage to certain kinds of items for instance a grenade pouch that attached via MOLLE to a certain kind of backpack. The packs that allow attachment could have a certain kind of attachment points and only certain types of pouches could be added.

Another idea could be different kinds of vests as well. Like ones that have different types/amount of attachement points and give us the ability to modify what/how much we can carry on the vest. Same idea could be used for the drop leg holsters/pouches. Currently we can only put bandages, pistol ammo, and 203 grenades/flares in the drop leg but what if we could find a drop leg platform that had MOLLE attachement points and you could attach pouch that held rifle magazines. Or a pouch that held grenades, or one that held whatever you wanted.

I would also like to see a more variety of backpacks. Like packs with hydration bladders built in or have the ability to attach hydration bladders. Or packs with the ability to attach another bag that could be used to hold a primary weapon. But switching to the weapon from the pack takes longer than just clicking a chevron and it appears in my characters hand it should have an animation as long as say bandaging.

Obviously this would all have to affect mobility in the more you carry/the builkier it is the slower less mobile you are.

There seems like there is a ton that could be done to allow for custimizaion and make items that no one would use be usable. For instance if the assualt pack had say certain attachment points to allow adding more pounches or a rifle bag and the alice pack was a standard 20 slot bag then if you found those pouches it would be better to use the assualt backpack over the alice backpack.

I think this would add some variety and a little more strategy as to the inventory system.
