Any chance of being able to remove backpacks in a future update?
We already know it’s a possibility, as some of the special costumes have no backpacks, and it doesn’t have any negative effect on weapon placement, etc.
Particularly in Ghost War, where the extra bulk makes your character larger than they need to be, the fact that some packs actually obscure your aim while you’re prone, and the way backpacks interfere with your ghille suits. And in reality, soldiers leave their packs at an ORV before an attack anyway, and retrieve them later.
Even if only just in Ghost War; most people wear the Camelbak just because it’s the least-bulky pack, so I’m sure it’d be a much-appreciated feature.
