Modular Carrier GL Rig

«

Brand-new plate carrier vests are at the disposal of LDF warfighters. They come in the geometric woodland camouflage and olive green plain variants. As has become standard, these vests were designed with modular quick-release options for pockets and pouches in mind. The heaviest version offers greater protection for sensitive parts of the body, such as the neck and groin. Field Manual

The Modular Carrier GL Rig is a ballistic/explosive-resistant vest used by the Livonian Defense Force in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Contact DLC.

Overview

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

A modified Modular Carrier Lite vest but with shoulder and pelvic guards attached, the Modular Carrier GL Rig is only worn by the Livonian Defense Force's specialist troops. It has a weight of 80 "mass" units and provides enough space for 130 "mass" units worth of ammunition/items.

As with its parent vest, the Modular Carrier GL Rig is rated at Level III protection standards and covers the user's chest, abdomen and diaphragm. Thanks to the addition of extra protective guards, the wearer's pelvic region, neck and shoulders are also covered and reduce damage from pistol calibre rounds, indirect explosions, and grenade blasts.

For all intents and purposes, the Modular Carrier GL Rig is an inferior version of its counterparts used by American and Altian forces. This is mostly attributed to the bulk of the vest itself - namely the torso and neck guards, not being improved with tougher armour plates. For other parts of the vest like the chest and diaphragm, the level of protection it offers against damage from ballistic projectiles is actually worse than that of regular Modular Carrier Lites/Vests. This is due in large part to their reduced damage reduction modifiers of 40% (compared to the MCL/MCV's modifiers of 70%).

As a result of its very low base armour values, the Modular Carrier GL Rig will not allow the wearer to survive being caught in the blast of a frag grenade exploding at their feet. Even if the wearer's pelvis and torso are not caught in the grenade's blast, they will still take fatal damage since the neck guard essentially does nothing to reduce damage from explosions.

Trivia

• Alongside Modular Carrier Lites/Vests, the Modular Carrier GL Rig is based on the real-world "KWM-02" designed by MASKPOL S.A., a protective gear manufacturer located in Poland.
• For unknown reasons, the Modular Carrier GL Rig is the only grenadier vest in ArmA 3 that does not actually protect its wearer from grenade explosions. It is unclear if this was a deliberate design choice or is simply a mistake (the chest and diaphragm do not have a base armour value of 78 like all other GL-type vests).
