« 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.

The Modular Carrier Lite is a ballistic-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.

The Modular Carrier Lite is the standard-issue plate carrier vest worn by all Livonian soldiers. It has an unloaded weight of 70 "mass" units[CfgWp 1] and provides enough space for 130 "mass" units worth of ammunition/items.[CfgWp 2]

Essentially the LDF's version of the Carrier Lite worn by American soldiers, the Modular Carrier Lite is rated at Level III protection standards. Its plate inserts cover the wearer's chest, abdomen, and diaphragm. It will allow the wearer to survive being struck by a single 7.62 mm DMR bullet fired at point blank range. The only statistical difference between the Modular Carrier Lite and the NATO Carrier Lite is that it weighs 10 "mass" units less. As a trade-off, it loses 10 "mass" units worth of storage space (130 versus 140).

Trivia[]

  • The Modular Carrier Lite uses the exact same model as the Modular Carrier Vest. The only change is that its model retains a holster, has a tactical radio, as well as extra pouches attached.
  • Like its parent vest, Modular Carrier Lites appear to be modelled after the real-world "KWM-02"[2] designed by MASKPOL S.A., a protective gear manufacturer based in Poland.[3]
