The Tarp Chest Rig is a homemade harness of pouches, sewn from tarp and tape. It is a bag worn on the chest to keep small gear close at hand. It sits in the webbing slot.
Its main strength is how much weight it takes off its load. It also speeds up reloading for guns that use magazines. Its main limit is a small capacity. It is crafted by survivors with some Tailoring skill. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The chest rig holds up to 5 units of gear. It takes 85 percent of the weight off whatever is inside. It only takes items up to a size of 1.3, which suits magazines, ammo and small tools. It is worn on the chest in the webbing slot, so it works alongside a backpack.
The in-game tooltip says it reduces reload time for magazine-fed firearms. That makes it a strong pick for a survivor who fights with guns.
The store-bought Chest Rig matches it in capacity, weight relief and item size. The tarp version is slightly uncomfortable to wear. Both slow running and attacks only a little.
The rig clashes with shoulder pads, a shoulder holster, fanny packs, bulky jackets, a suit jacket, a bathrobe and a full body suit. It cannot tear.
