The CTRG Plate Carrier Rig Mk.2 is a ballistic-resistant vest worn by CTRG operatives in ArmA 3.

Overview[]

Favoured by some of CTRG's operatives, the Plate Carrier Rig Mk.2 offers enhanced protection for its wearer at the cost of a higher stamina burden. It has a weight of 100 "mass" units[CfgWp 1] and provides space for up to 140 units worth of ammunition/items.[CfgWp 2]

Just like NATO's Carrier Rig vest, the Plate Carrier Rig Mk.2 is rated higher than the Mk.1 and has Level IV protection standards. Surface coverage of the wearer's torso remains the same, but each part's base armour values have been increased. The wearer can survive one point blank hit from a 7.62 mm bullet along with a second smaller calibre round. In all other aspects however, the Mk.2 remains mostly unchanged from regular NATO Carrier Rigs.

Trivia[]

  • Along with its Light counterpart, the Plate Carrier Rig Mk.2 was not actually included on ArmA 3's release until the campaign's first episode was added.[1]
  • It does not have its own unique inventory icon and strangely reuses the Plate Carrier Rig Mk.1's icon instead (the two vests are visually different in-game).
