Assault Pack

The Assault Pack is a backpack featured in both ArmA 2 and ArmA 3.

ArmA 2

Assault Pack
Faction	U.S. Army
Storage capacity	ACU/Khaki: 8× Magazines UAV Terminal: None
Games

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Operation Arrowhead expansion pack.

The ArmA 2 Assault Pack is exclusively used by both conventional and special operations U.S. Army units.

It is able to store up to eight rifle magazines/underbarrel grenade launcher rounds or between two to four heavier belt pouches/boxes at once.

Unlike its heavier counterpart, non-heavy firearms cannot be placed inside the Assault Pack, so its utility is mostly limited to storing primary weapon magazines or UGL rounds and hand grenades.

Variants

• Patrol Pack
• UAV Terminal Pack*

Special operations version exclusively coloured in coyote tan. Functionally identical to the regular Assault Pack.

Black-coloured version that contains a mobile terminal used to interface with unmanned drones. It is unable to store any magazines.

(*) This backpack is non-functional in regular gameplay, and is only designed to connect to linked UAV drones via the UAV module placed in the editor.

Trivia

• ArmA 2 Assault Packs are modelled after the real-world "FAST Pack" used by the U.S. military.
• Initially, the UAV Terminal Assault Pack could not be used to control drones in the main campaign even if the player was wearing the backpack. This was eventually fixed after the release of Patch 1.52.

ArmA 3

Assault Pack
Faction	NATO CTRG FIA Loyalists CSAT Gendarmerie (OM) AAF Syndikat L'Ensemble LDF
Mass	20
Storage capacity	160 mass
Games

The ArmA 3 Assault Pack is utilised as a compact counterpart to the Kitbag and Carryall.

Easy to wear and able to store a decent amount of gear and ammunition (up to 160 units of "mass"), the Assault Pack is usually carried by soldiers who wield anti-vehicle launchers, as well as infantry classes who cannot haul the heavier packs due to the weight of their weapons, but still require a backpack to store spare munitions.

While its total capacity is less than that of the Field Pack by 40, it is much lighter and inflicts less of a stamina penalty on the carrier.

Variants

• US Assault Pack
• Remote Designator (Disassembled)

Uniquely furnished version of the regular ranger green Assault Pack which has additional pouches attached, and a name strap with Ben Kerry's surname printed onto it.

There are no capacity or weight differences to the regular Assault Pack.

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Marksmen DLC.

Regular Assault Pack designed specifically to contain a folded Remote Designator, which can be unpacked and constructed in the field onto any valid surface (or alternately, disassembled into backpack form).

It is only available in either regular MTP/woodland MTP or Arid Hex camouflage covers for the NATO and CSAT variants (respectively). Neither can store any equipment, and there are no other camouflage varieties available to choose from.

Trivia

• The ArmA 3 Assault Pack appears to be modelled after two real-world backpacks: Rothco's "Medium Transport Pack" and Condor Outdoor's "Compact Assault Pack".
• Ironically, the supposedly ranger green-coloured version used by Mediterranean NATO forces is not actually furnished in ranger green. The khaki version on the other hand, is coloured in ranger green (albeit heavily faded and worn-out).
• The Tropic MTP, Woodland MTP, and Geometric variants were not originally available upon ArmA 3's release. The Tropic variant was included with the release of the Apex expansion pack, whilst the both the Woodland and Geometric variants were added after the Contact expansion's release.
