Maybe this is for balance, for example, if you want to run longer and have more slots then you will wear a vest, and if you want to have protection from bullets wear plate carrier, but you will run not so long and slots will have less.

@4NDRO1D Well the plate carrier is already balanced in the "but you will run not so long"-part of things, as it eats alot of your stamina bar. As for quickbar-slots perhaps it could be 1 or 2 slots less than with an, let's say, assault vest, since that one has quite a few more pockets.

Two slots less than assault vest that would be great.

@Geez
While Plate Carrier balancing is a hot topic right know for 1.13. Is this part of intensional "blancing" or a bug?
