After having seen the Marksmen DLC preview. First thing I noticed (it was kinda in your face anyway) was that armor vest!
Now it got me thinking, maybe for a next DLC haha. customizable gear!
Like, you can remove or add the extra shoulder/upper arm armor, or just put it on 1 arm, maybe add some thigh armor or a molle thigh penal. you name it!
And customizable pouches. For instance you put 4 mag pouches on your vest, and so you can carry 4 mags. depends on the weapon and the ammo type of course. smaller pouches for normal weapons and big pouches for LMG ammo cases/bags.
And there are also the dual/stacker mag pouches, so you can carry 2 mags in 1 mag pouch slot. same thing for grenade pouches, utility, map, radio, UAV, GPS, etc. etc. etc.
of course this will have a deep impact on the weight and fatigue system. more armor and more ammo is heavy, so you'll get tired faster.
And let's not forget that molle thigh penal. let's slap some pouches on there as well.
Now you really need to carry role specific items which, in my opinion, would elevate co-op to a whole new level.
Players need to customize their gear for their specific role.
Not everybody can carry everything. A grenadier for instance will not be able to take LMG ammo with him because he will need the ''vest slot space'' for grenade pouches.
and you may not be able to take a radio with you because you've stacked your vest with 15 ammo pouches, and there is simply no space left for a radio pouch.
Plus I like customizing things. especially clothing and gear.
I don't know how difficult this would be, but I guess it's possible. a little detailed, but possible. weapons can also have attachments, so why not vests!
thanks for reading! cheers
