You are probably refering to so-called MOLLE

Ingame, when your merc is wearing them, you can click on the vest/rig and a list of possible attachments should show up.

Foe whatever reason, linking seems not to working as it should.

Let your merc wear the vest/rig. rightclick on rig/vest and description should pop-up.

Grey ones are possible, but not available in this sector. Green ones are arround.

in standard-vests ammo-pockets you can also put in other stuff, which often isn't the case for Molle-Vest, which can restrict what you can carry.

For my doctors I like Molle-stuff, for my machine-gunner not so much

If you use two carabiners on a rig

I won't volunteer for this guide any time soon

So you can attach a carbiner, that then allows you to attach more molle attachments. Think of it as you have a D ring clipped into your LBE vest, and from there you have a couple of magazine pouches that dangle.

All right, how do you use those carabiners? Seems they just take up a slot, and then what?

You can put certain items onto the carabiner (like e.g. canteens, bottles, etc.), like you put ammo into a ammo-pocket or bigger stuff into the bigger pockets.

You can hang all sorts of things from a carabiner including other LBE items. I know it's unrealistic but you can even fill up a TIMS pack and hang it from a carabiner. Or a TT Mod Pack with a couple of carabiners on it with other LBE attached to them, and so on and so on...
This is a great way to outfit your mules to lug equipment from one town to another. Outfit Hamous with a MOLLE vest, a TT Mod Pack, and a couple of leg rigs with carabiners in all the slots then hang packs and pouches loaded with goodies from them.
I know, unrealistic as hell. Think of it a Hamous being a crate (or several crates) that you load with equipment, then use the helicopter to transport them.

To do so, click into the empty attachment-slot and a pop-up appears. In this pop-up there will be names of possible attachments for this slot.

While doing so, some names in the pop-up may change to red (instead of green or grey). This is giving the player a hint, that the red-named item is to big to attach.

The Molle-carriers have a pre-defined space (see left side of picture, the pop-up says "Space: 10/22". In this case 10 out of 22 are allready occupied.

I'm not trying to convince anybody to use it, I'm trying to answer questions.

The Carabiner was meant to be used for "snapping" items with a strap etc... to your vest/leg. The gasmask being a good example.

I figured MOLLE would appeal to players that wanted a more specialised load out.

if anyone had suggestions.

The low end MOLLE equipment is designed to be limiting until you splash cash and get the top tier vests and rigs.

For me the pop-up doesn't have any colors, it's just a (white) list of possible attachments.


No colors for me, but trying to fit modules manually I got repeatedly a little pop-up text box saying "Not enough space for that" (or some such). That's how I understood there is limited space in the parent MOLLEs.


I don't recall seeing any weight display, but then again I didn't look for it. As I said above, will try again later, I'm increasingly curious to know what's going on here...

That doesn't work for me. Which version of 1.13 and/or mod are we talking about ?

The colours shown, when doing a left-click on an available attachment-slot and auto-attaching stuff, are not Molle-specific. There is a chance, you've allready seen them at different places, like:

With Molle, you should see something like this:

Keep in mind to wear the item on merc when attaching pouches. If everything is grey (or white for you, subjectivity of perception), then try opening the sector-inventory while attaching. Sector-Inventory should of course contain the Molle-pouches in question.

When trying to attach, like in the examples in the second picture of this post, the colours could save some time and make it easier to see which pouch will fit and which not.

If you for example, carry a KCB-knife there is no more need to bother where to fit this wire-cutter, because the KCB allows wire-cutting as well.

Or, if you play with disease on

I figured MOLLE would appeal to players that wanted a more specialised load out.

It could maybe do with some adjustments as i probably overlooked some balancing issues, so i have some free time now if anyone had suggestions.

allows to carry one mortar-shell

Well, when I get a window, it looks like this:

"Grenade" (greyed out or white/green (can't recall which))
(name of the weapon the merc is holding) (white)
"-No Matching Ammo -" (red)

"Right-click", that was the information I was missing!

Ah yes, that has always been lacking, some effective way to carry mortar shells (since we don't have mortar shell crates).

Long story short, there is now no holster left able to accommodate all those big pistols and their ammunition. No, the "Big Pistol Holster" has ammo slots which don't like speedloaders, they only accept straight magazines.

But in principle, it's allways the same. Right-click, description-box, attach to valid slot (if there is one).

If you then leftclick on one of those slots, you'll get the colours and possabilty to auto-attach. That is, if the item has any valid attachment-slots.

Doing this left-click or auto-attach is fully optional. If you prefer, you can just drag and drop attachments directly to the attachment-slot.

If you're not satisfied with the holsters, you can try to change it's values

Gasmask is strange, as you can see in my pictures, it's fitting on carabiner for me.

My method of hanging LBE from caribiners can simulate a mortar shell crate.

small Pistols -> Pistol Holster
large Pistol -> Large Pistol Holster
Revolvers -> Revolver Holster

In my opinion it makes no sense to be able to store speed loaders in an SMG mag pocket for example.

Fool Proof MOLLE use:

Ingenious.

Even my use of caribiners has it's peculiarities.

I figured out early that I could fill up a TIMS Combat Pack and then store four of them in a TIMS Backpack.

Thanks! So it's not just me, there is really a slight fluctuation in how they work... I feel much better

This is my, from stock SCI 8796 Carbiner code

Although i think i can explain why there is some weirdness with the Carabiner Ring. There was an Item class created to restrict what could be attached to it, but the items themselves were never assigned that Itemclass. So there are no Itemclass 268601344 items in the game. I'm not sure what happened there, as the way it is now, every item in the game should be restricted from being attached.

Can you look up something for me?

Yeah, i made a mistake
