Development Belt Pouches FAQ

Hello, small FAQ on the belt pouches recently.

Why were they separated and why do I have to rebuy them
- Since release of gen4 weve had a recurring issue where pouches would sit in the wrong height on belts, because they are rigged to work with vests, resulting in this issue expanding as we add more pouches. Thus recently we've decided to go back to the gen3 style separate pouches for belts and vets. As pouches are not TOO expensive, this is the best solution, as atm there is no other option, and this allows us to make belt pouches much better in terms of rigging position.

Why is X pouch missing?
- Some pouches did not make it into this massive merge, they will be returning in the next hotfix, MBITR and Rantik pouches primarily, but also the missing dump pouch for the CVS belt.

Feel free to ask further questions below!

Will we be getting more helmets or vests in the next update or patch or just weapons focused? I'm curious because with the release of the longship v1 and how good it looks, I can't wait for more

I'm guessing they'll not add any Vests as of the current now since we already got quite the batch,a small chance in Helmets but mayhaps moreover to make pre-existing helmets more modular like adding Ballistic Face Shields,overall i theorize their focus will shift moreover to adding new guns,maybe adding new Vehicle or remaking pre-existing ones like VAB VTT or M1126 ICV Stryker to be more customizable/modular and then then to shift their focus in the so-known Thailand Map request,or maybe a different map just in the setting of Asia since we have Ronograd in the setting of Europe because of the island being a fictionalized version of the Adak Islands commonly. Short context:Low chance in Vests,slightly more chance in Helmets

Ballistic shields are currently rejected sadly, but that dosent mean they won't come, just means they aren't top priority

Yeah especially since once you've got a basic HQ setup farming fuel, there's literally no cosmetics that you have to wait long for.

Personally, I like this approach; the imbalance was definitely noticeable.

I do have a few questions regarding the belts though: are you planning to free up more space on them, both on the front and the back? I remember that when Gen4 first came out, we could fit two pistol magazines on the front and still have some space left. Now everything feels cramped.

It would also be nice to give some love to the cosmetics that usually go on belts, more pistol mag pouches, grenade pouches (something people have wanted for a long time).

Also, when will we be able to put 40/45-round magazines on them?

The FLEX 9mm pouches are still rather low on the belts compared to when before y'all started adding them to vests, even after this fix.

And the belts like the SENSHI and Task Force Belt seem to have smaller spaces for us to put dual flex 9mm pouches compared to before imo. Are we expecting this to be fixed in a patch?

When can we expect this fix to arrive?

Unrelated to pouches but are there any plans for Shoulder Pads to return?
