A vest highlighted on a Security character in Insurgency.
Vests, alternatively Carriers, are a type of 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.
