GA Carrier GL Rig (AAF)

Sign in to edit

The GA Carrier GL Rig is a ballistic/explosive-resistant vest worn by both AAF troopers and in limited numbers with CTRG operatives in ArmA 3.

Overview[]

The GA Carrier GL Rig is a heavier version of the AAF's GA Carrier Rig but with additional shoulder, neck and pelvic addon armour attached. It has a weight of 80 "mass" units[CfgWp 1] and allows the wearer to carry up to 120 "mass" units worth of ammunition/items.[CfgWp 2]

Primarily worn by grenadiers, team leaders, field officers and certain specialist troopers/operatives, the GA Carrier GL Rig serves as a direct counterpart to NATO's Carrier GL Rig. Both are rated identically at Level IV protection standards. Compared to its NATO counterpart, the GA Carrier GL Rig is lighter by 20 "mass" but loses the same amount in storage capacity (120 versus the former's 140).

Because the GA Carrier GL Rig is designed to serve as an explosive-resistant vest, the level of protection it offers against damage from ballistic projectiles is mediocre at best, The chest/diaphragm plates face the same problems as its NATO counterpart - namely, that it only reduces 40% of incoming damage from ballistic projectiles. While the extra toughness of the GA Carrier GL Rig's plates ensures the wearer's safety from small explosions and frag grenades, it will not stop much more than a single 7.62 mm round to the chest at any range.

Camouflage[]

  • Digital: Digitised semi-fractal camouflage pattern with some dark green-coloured pouches. Standard scheme applied to AAF GA Carrier GL Rigs.
  • Olive: Flat olive green colour scheme with pale green shoulder pads. Used by CTRG Group 15 operatives.

Trivia[]

  • Prior to the Marksmen DLC's release[1], the GA Carrier GL Rig simply reused the GA Carrier Rig's model without any visible differences between the two vests.
  • Despite clearly being the "low-tech" counterpart to NATO's Carrier GL Rig, Olive-coloured GA Carrier GL Rigs are strangely shown being worn by NATO's covert special operations units.
  • A pouchless (and retextured/modified mesh) version of the vest is reused as a basis for IDAP's EOD Vest in the Laws of War DLC.
