Details
This guide teaches players how to properly fit their harness system. It begins with determining the correct belt height, usually positioned around the upper hips for stability. Players adjust tension gradually until the harness remains steady while running without restricting breathing.
The tutorial explains how pod orientation affects reload mechanics. For straight pull reloads, players position pods with lids facing upward or slightly outward. For rotational pulls, pods may be angled for quicker removal.
The harness is tested with movement. Players jog, twist, and crouch to ensure the harness stays secure. If the harness shifts excessively, strap tension is adjusted or padding is repositioned.
A well fitted harness maintains stability during sliding, sprinting, or directional changes and reduces the likelihood of pod spills.
