You don't need to buy everything at once to get a solid-looking loadout. Here's how to prioritize your budget when you're just getting started.
Start With the Pieces People See First
A helmet and uniform do more visual work than anything else in your kit. If your budget is tight, put your money into those two pieces first and add armor, pouches, and accessories over time.
Consider a Bundle Instead of Piecing It Together
If you want everything in one order, our Conscript Loadout bundle starts at $225 and bundles the core pieces — helmet, uniform, and essentials — at one price, which is typically better value than buying each piece separately one at a time. Browse it and our other bundles under Complete Loadouts.
Add Pouches and Accessories Gradually
Pouches are the easiest pieces to add after the fact since they don't need to match a specific size like a helmet or uniform does. Start with one or two pouches for the essentials and expand your rig over time as your budget allows.
Don't Skip Knee Pads
Of everything on this list, knee pads are the cheapest piece that has the biggest effect on comfort during a game — worth prioritizing even on a tight budget.
