Loadout concept

If you are still reading I will now describe the loadout system I am using.

Concept here is base gear is in the Jacket, Pants, and Webbing.

Vest and Backpack slots are left open for mission specific gear.

Personally what I have done is setup riflemen loadouts in TW and MT, with a Gunner webbing on both. This way I can retool the rifleman loadout into a Gunner or Grenadier loadout very quickly. This tweaked can be saved in one of the free slots for the day, but doesn't need to kept longer than that.

• If a specific pack is needed the Backpack slot is free
• If additional storage is needed the Vest slot is free
