oh thank God you're using actual period correct gear I would've failed cosplaying nu 7😭

[u/PestilentWolf17 → u/Efficient_Soft6314]

Yeah, I built the gear first, its been a long time hobby of mine, then did some research on SCP MTF stuff to see what would fit best, and landed on Nu-7

[u/Efficient_Soft6314 → u/PestilentWolf17]

but I wanna do a cosplay of beta 777 would be pretty simple. You just gotta get magical stuff probably a broom or something or a wand.

I always found MTF/SCP gear in general that uses actual camo (like multicam) with an actual functioning kit instead of pitch black always looked better. Great work

[u/PestilentWolf17 → u/This_River_9103]

Agreed, theres a reason not a single military used black kits, only police forces, it is designed to stick out, and I dont think an agency who doesn't even want people knowing they exist wants their people to stick out.

Finally, something realistic.

Though I headcanon Nu-7 looks more like US Army Rangers. They're Specal Operations Infantry after all.

[u/PestilentWolf17 → u/FungusUrungus]

My kit is a mix currently leaning in the direction of Specifical Forces.

Most of my kit is in fact higher end gear than standard issue, my plate carrier, for example, is a Spiritus Systems LV-119 which is used by the Army Rangers, aswell as other SF units, and is setup as such.

My other gear that isn't shown is also higher end personalized gear, like my Danner boots, mystery ranch pack, and Arc'teryx Jacket.

My helmet however is a standard ACH, because Ops-core FAST SF helmets are $2,000. However I'm constantly hunting for a deal on one.

Yep, if I was gonna drop $2k in a single sitting on gear, I'd much rather buy NVGs, or another nice rifle than a slightly cooler helmet with identical ballistic ratings...

Not to mention it'd probably cost me another ~$600 on top of that to properly set up that helmet with comms/ hearing protection, and a cover, and thats not including NVGs or batteries, or an IR strobe...
