M3A1 Synthetic Utility Vest becomes light(er)weight (#6116)
# About the pull request This PR changes the M3A1 Synthetic Utility Vest to have a 10% slowdown TLDR, I want more people to use this vest because its flavorful. I conducted a poll last year to see why pretty much no one used it and its because of the slowdown with nothing to show for it, as it is an armor vest .. without the armor. Less than 1% of participants of the poll cared about the storage space(which is quite laughable, at 1 slot) Adding armor is not something I intend, but minimizing the slowdown is something I intend, and I see it as intuitive. If an armor vest weighs 25kg and you remove 2 inserts of 10kg armor, how does it still weigh 25kg?!? It is a stretch to say it has any slower movement at all. You get: added storage(1 slot), a suit light For: 20% slowdown Because the main intended user of this is a USCM Synthetic, they don't really benefit from the suitlight since they are usually with Marines. Speed is key for any support role and for Synthetic it is especially crucial, slowing yourself down for a single inventory slot is just ridiculous. Granted, there is still a slowdown here. Overall I'd just like to see it being used more under various circumstances, whether its for flavor during preparations in dangerous situations, or if its just part of someones outfit. # Explain why it's good for the game Despite many attempts to get more people to use it, the M3A1 is used by borderline nobody because of the slowdown. The description states that ALL ARMOR is removed(and indeed, all armor is removed). Why does it weight as much as combat vests that ALSO have lights and storage pouches? It just doesn't make sense. Armor weighs a significant amount and removing it should lighten the vest **significantly,** as described. Making it more lightweight will hopefully have more people use it. It is the only USCM styled Synthetic piece available. # Testing Photographs and Procedure <details> <summary>Screenshots & Videos</summary> Put screenshots and videos here with an empty line between the screenshots and the `<details>` tags. </details> # Changelog :cl: balance: M3A1 Synthetic Utility Vest only has a 10% slowdown. /:cl:
