A vest highlighted on a Security character in Insurgency.
Vests, alternatively Carriers, are an equipment item in the Insurgency series. They are used to provide the user with extra ammunition and equipment slots. Unlike armor, they provide no damage protection. Appearance-wise, they add vest pouches and a backpack to the character. Both Insurgency and Insurgency: Sandstorm offer three vest options.
Like all equipment, different armors have varying weight. This affects speed and stamina.
No Vest/Carrier[]
No Vest, called No Carrier in Insurgency: Sandstorm, is the default vest/carrier option, providing only a basic limited set of ammunition and one equipment slot, but with the benefit of a lighter load and higher stamina.
In Insurgency, No Vest appears as one tan rifle magazine pouch and one tan pistol magazine pouch for Security, and nothing for Insurgents. It costs 0 Supply Points for both factions.
In Insurgency: Sandstorm, No Carrier appears as two vest pouches for Security, and four rig pouches for Insurgents. It costs 0 Supply Points for both factions.
Chest Rig/Light Carrier[]
Chest Rig, called the Light Carrier in Insurgency: Sandstorm, is the first tier of vest/carrier options. It provides two extra primary and secondary magazines, and one equipment slot (two slots for Insurgency: Sandstorm's Light Carrier), with only light impacts to weight and stamina.
In Insurgency, the Chest Rig appears as two tan rifle magazine pouches, two tan pistol magazine pouches, and a right-side pouch for Security; and a green chest rig for Insurgents. It costs 0 Supply Points for Security and 1 Supply Point for Insurgents.
In Insurgency: Sandstorm, the Light Carrier appears as one large pouch, two rifle magazine pouches, a radio pouch, and a tactical pack for Security; and four rig pouches, two rifle magazine pouches, and a rucksack for Insurgents. It costs 1 Supply Point for both factions.
