A simple idea. Pretty much every single engineer in the game hates our “hobo sacks” and wish there was a way to turn them off, and many are upset by not being able to see our backpack skins when we use them. Now obviously those kit packs are there for a reason, but I wonder why they have to be backpacks? I suggest just removing them completely and replacing them with belt packs instead. This won’t help with kits replacing our weapon skins, but one step at a time as they say. Here are some examples.

Ultimately I just fail to see why engineers have to carry their kits on their backs. Epically since the lack of belt skins in the game provides so much real-estate on the hips. Heck if you don’t like belts you could go with messenger bags or even utility harnesses that leave the back free of clutter.
