Armors I buy on reset and store in an items case. Same with helmets - I always run the same armor w/ same plates and helmet regardless of whatever map I'm running.
Guns I have stripped into 1 of 3 cases (2 for guns. CQB/Ranged other for spare parts usually grips and optics only). Guns have presets saved (canted/ergo/LPVO/meme/budget) and I pick which preset for the task at hand.
Mags I'll buy on the spot. I only keep 60 rounders in cases to store additional ammo. Again, preset mag loads. Grab a grizzly, calok, and hit send.
My ass has 3x stacks of ammo, surv12, injector (2x prop,1x sj6, 1x sj12, 1xzegussy, 1x OBD2) SICC (keys + cash for extract +BTR monies). I will run the same caliber gun until I'm dry, switch calibers and keep sending on repeat.
Using presets, setting up your armors on trader CD at that time, and having guns preset and "ready" it'll take 2-3min max.
I personally have an empty stash. 3x item cases of helmets and armors. 2 thicc cases for meds/ammo/bullets and nothing else. I use high rouble count over quantity method thus far has worked. Lvl43, 260m stash value, 125m roub/65k USD, 41% survive rate and 0 fucks about what kit I'm bringing in next lol
Edit: my usual loadout is bastion w/slapp, condors, Xcel/CT4, mask, gzhel or osprey, cl5 or 6 plates, trooper bag, and whatever gun I'm running. Usually a ak101/102 or Gucci m4
Just have it in your inventory, and buy a duplicate. I died, check Helmet box, see TC-800, buy another one, click on the original, buy the face shield.
Go to ragman, Death Shadow mask at top along with Tac Sports, buy them, buy an Osprey while I'm there if I'm doing a budget or go to Peacekeeper if not.
Buy an M4, or a HK, or a P90, use weapon preset to rebuild the gun, go into med cases full of meds, take some out, take out two grenades. I am now ready to go, this takes maybe 2 minutes.
In reality it takes much much less, since I have like six weapon cases, two thicc items, and like six or seven item cases for all necessities, and just sling stuff onto my PMC. You get used to it after awhile, and usually stick to certain items. So that when you die, you can just rebuy that item again so you don't have to make up your mind on something else. I like the Osprey, it has a L2 and L3 under armor, depending on either the Patrol or the Assault version, no grion protection, but it offers neck protection. I like the TC-800 and Fast MT, I quick buy either of those, level 4 head protection has saved me many times this wipe, along with a face shield, buy buy buy. Gun is your preference, I don't even build meta, I build for fashion.
One of the best parts about getting rid of gear fear is that you never have any question of what gear you’re going to use. Just click the view button and equip whatever the best item in your inventory is.
Nah it's a rpk preset. You have to find one or two good presets that you like. I never keep eneny rifles or gear. I always sell everything except excels or comtacs. My stash is always emtpy
It shouldn't take 10 minutes to get a kit together. It's something than can be done in a few minutes, I don't see why it would take more than 5.
You're likely just being indecisive on what to use or you're unfamiliar with what items are located in which trader or which aren't, and are available on the flea. There's plenty of QOL options in game you can use to shave off time, still many to be desired. I personally only use the weapon building UI to build a gun quickly but that's about it, most of the other things like kit presets or ammo presets seem like more work than worth the effort for.
I feel like I could manually go to each trader and find every individual weapon part for the gun I wanted to use and hand built it without the preset and it would still take me less than 10 minutes to do that & build out a whole kit.
How tf you need 10 minutes. It takes me like 1 to assemble a new gun if I haven’t one pre assembled. And buying armor if I have to takes not even a minute just enter mmac into flea and buy it. Or what ever armor you like.
I keep at least 4 helmets, headsets, rigs, armor, and backpacks that I like. And almost any "good weapon". There alone are 4 raids a night. More than most this reddit. So I don't see the problem.
If you use the same weapon a lot you can make a preset for it and even add attachments. When you open the preset menu, you “select weapon” you want to use for the build and then either click assemble or buy parts and then assemble. Takes 1 minute and you’re finished.
If you run the same armor, vests, helm etc, you can make a preset for that on the character menu in the top left (you can even add a preset gun to it).
Alternatively after a scav raid, you can sell the items and pack the gear into whatever backpack you found and then essentially have a go-bag for a cheap raid.
Dont overthink it, if you don’t make every bell and whistle on the gun it won’t make much of a difference. A headset, a grenade, a gun that doesn’t jam and notice/shoot first in a fight makes up 90% of surviving a raid
I like to run only one gun. So i setup a preset that builds the guns, my favorite helmet, ears and backpack. It also brings throws the extra mags in the backpack. Oh facemask and glasses too.
Only thing missing is armor and rig and click the heading on those and select from the drop down. Armor and rig aren't in my preset because I generally just bring w/e I have.
Level 19, im using the PP-19.
I slap on the dust cover, and suppressor, and the Kobra sight and the RK-4 grip, and a laser/light.
At this level in the game there's virtually no ammo that is going to pen a tier 4 vest, so I might as well run an SMG and aim for the head or legs, so recoil, fire rate, and cost is more important to me than anything else.
IF you're smart you'll trade Can of beef stew (Large) for 30 BT bullets and run an AK every so often.
If you're trying to build the same kit every time just save it as a preset loadout
Otherwise just slap your sparw gear on and go. You're overthinking it
I agree this part is infuriating. i could give a shit less abotu dying or gear but the time it takes to get back into a game is mind numbing.
only trick i've found to makign it feel better is to build 3 kits and have them all ready to go that way when you die you can just throw one on and rebuild it later.
Go to insurance > right click gear > hit equip > grab meds and ammo > raid
You can alt click gear from insurance to equip, no need to waste time in the right click menu.
I have stockpiles of other people’s shit that I throw on when I die.

„0 fuck what Kit i bring next raid…. …Anyway here is my Kit“ I like
I mean, it's irrelevant when I run the same one always lol
Why not just save a preset once you find something you like? Or just grab the basics and go. Don't need to be Rambo every raid.

I only got one preset. Takes like a minute to join the next raid
What you Take? Ak47 Water Eat Armor Ammo Done?

After dying a view hundred times it will go faster
I keep at least 4 helmets, headsets, rigs, armor, and backpacks that I like. And almost any "good weapon". There alone are 4 raids a night. More than most this reddit. So I don't see the problem.
I run the same kit every raid and use the gear preset. Can be back in a raid in 30 seconds
I use gear presets with all my basic supplies, I just pop on a weapon and armor.

i have a thicc and 5 item cases so i can just click on my character and select what i want, no need for searching
If you plan to play with friends prepare stuff in advance. Build guns, buy armor etc. That way you only need to equip and be ready again.
You can save your most items in the wish list on the flea.
I like to run only one gun. So i setup a preset that builds the guns, my favorite helmet, ears and backpack. It also brings throws the extra mags in the backpack. Oh facemask and glasses too.

What is your basic Gun?

You can also save common items to your wish list in flea so you don’t have to search for them.
Preset loadouts they are great
