The Chest Rig is a set of pouches worn on straps across the chest. It is a wearable bag for the Webbing slot. It keeps small gear and spare magazines within easy reach.
Its main strength is faster reloading. Magazine-fed firearms reload more quickly while it is worn. It also takes most of the weight off what it holds. Its cost is a small capacity and a slight slowdown.
Chest rigs turn up in army surplus stores, pawn shops and survivor safehouses. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The rig slows running and attacks by about 1 percent each. It takes the Webbing slot. Fanny packs, shoulder holsters, shoulder pads, suit jackets, bulky jackets, bathrobes and full suits clash with it. Breathing masks and breathing apparatus clash with it too.
Carrying
The rig holds only a few items. It takes off most of their weight, about 85 percent. It accepts only small items, such as spare magazines.
It is worn on the chest in the Webbing slot. It leaves the back free for a backpack.
The Tarp Chest Rig holds the same amount with the same weight cut and the same faster reload. The ALICE Belt and Suspenders hold a little more but take a bit less weight off. They also slow running more. A Fanny Pack takes the same weight off but holds far less.
Tailoring
The rig holds up without getting holes. Research Craft on it teaches Make Tarp Chest Rig. That lets one found rig lead to more rigs sewn from tarp.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Chest Rig and teaches the recipes below.
