The are several considerations when choosing a loadout for your mission.

The faction of choice has an obvious impact on the loadout, including camouflage patters and weapon selection. The uniform is usually the primary identifier of a faction, so at this stage choose gear for the following:

• Uniform
• Vest
• Helmet
• Backpack

The unit type will have an impact primarily on the choice of primary weapon. At this stage choose gear for the following:

• Primary Weapon
• Primary ammunition
• Secondary Weapon
• Secondary ammunition
• Cross loaded ammunition
• Unit specific equipment

The type, time, and location of a mission will have an impact on required equipment.

• NVGs
• Explosives
• Flares
• Flashlights
• Diving equipment

The following equipment is usually considered default for all unit types.

• Radio
• Map
• Map flashlight
• Compass
• Watch
• Smoke grenades
• Frag grenades
• Basic medical supplies
  • Quick Clot
  • Basic Bandage
  • Packing Bandage
  • Elastic Bandage
  • Tourniquet
  • Combat Pills

The Clearbackblast mission framework includes a gear script that is automatically run on all player units at mission start. Set the gear script for each faction using the file at:

cbb_framework_a3.VR\CBB\gear\CBB_gear_init.sqf

The default BLUFOR gear script is based on the US Army faction:

CBB_soldier_west_rhs_usarmy.sqf

1. Copy an existing gear script.
2. Modify the filename as you desire. Consider including the faction.
3. Modify the gear init script so that the desired faction points to your new gear script

   cbb_framework_a3.VR\CBB\gear\CBB_gear_init.sqf  
   
   9.   CBB_soldierprep_west       = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers ("CBB\gear\XXXXXX.sqf");
   10.  CBB_soldierprep_east	= compile preprocessFileLineNumbers ("CBB\gear\XXXXXX.sqf");
   11.  CBB_soldierprep_resistance	= compile preprocessFileLineNumbers ("CBB\gear\XXXXXX.sqf");

The included gear scripts are well commented and serve as perfect starting positions for making a gear script.

Default gear is defined, starting at line 119.
