Hey team!
Welcome back! Thanks for all the love regarding FF blog posts returning - it’s really appreciated. We’re back this week with another post and in this one we’re going to be looking at my Deadly Customs MFCR (or Modular Fortis Chest Rig) loadout - my newest addition to the arsenal, so let’s get into it.
The Deadly Customs MFCR (Modular Fortis Chest Rig) is a modern styled chest rig that is designed to provide modularity, durability, comfort, and covert practicality. The chest rig is designed around a dual-layer laser-cut Squadron Laminate chassis with a rugged 1500D Squadron Cordura exterior. Achieving a balance between structural strength and a slim profile.
Right out of the box, it feels solid. The dual-layer laminate core resists sagging under load and provides a flat, stable platform for gear. The laser-cut construction gives us precise fitment for single-column modular pouches and accessories - which is important if you plan to customise your setup heavily. Heavy-duty bar-tacked stitching and corrosion-resistant hardware round off the build quality, making the rig suitable for frequent use during airsoft games and, in more demanding conditions.
Now lets chat about the modularity! The complete set (which is the most cost effective way of purchasing the MFCR) consists of the MFCR Main H-Harness and hardware, backstop and hardware, the MFP (Modular Fortis Placard) and a rear padded cover for the MFP. What I would pinpoint as the standout feature of the MFCR is the Modular Fortis Placard system. It’s a quick-swap placard that allows users to reconfigure their gear quickly which is great for players who attend both skirmishes and milsims - being able to have one rig that does it all really is a bonus. The rig’s front uses a laser-cut MOLLE ladder and tie-down points that accept single-column attachments, admin pouches, and medical kits, giving you more flexibility and customisability.
There are cable and hydration routes integrated thoughtfully throughout, with horizontal pass-through channels and hollow shoulder straps. These make it straightforward to manage comms cables or a hydration tube without external snags.
My own MFCR loadout consists of the MFCR, the MFP, a kydex 40mm and a Fortis 40mm, the velcro adapters and flap set, the insert caddy and two small GP’s on the back wing expander. This is the configuration I would use for battlesims/milsims, for skirmishes and short games I would remove the two small GP and both 40mm pouches to save on weight and bulk, considering I normally wear a belt set-up for skirmishes.
So what are my final thoughts? In a crowded chest rig market, the MFCR holds its own because of its combination of modularity, durable construction, and comfort-focused design. The complete set isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for sure - you’ll need additional modules for a completely personalised setup that works for you, but as a core rig it delivers flexibility to build on and quality.
The Deadly Customs MCFR Complete Set retails for £109.99. The set-up in my images retails for around £335.
