Massive Entertainment,

Out of curiosity (as I don't know if this has ever been questioned), what made you all decide to move away from the sling bag design to the two-strap conventional rucksack?

I know this is more of an aesthetic, but I have to say I felt sling bags were brought into popularity with the first game. I actually went and bought two colors of the Propper BIAS Sling Bag (discontinued now; also betting 20pts this bag was the basis for the Lone Star Bag :-P) and I actually prefer sling bags over rucksacks due to my constant moving at where I work. Now it feels like we're merging into the Ghost Recon: Wildlands world. I feel the sling bags are iconic for The Division than they are for Ghost Recon.

It may seem trivial but with sling bags, being able to pivot them on the body to access their compartments WITHOUT taking them off was a unique design. Hope to see them return!

@LoG1C BoM8 ,

Interesting point made here.

Along with the sling bag, is there any other cosmetic features that you feel is aesthetic for The Division brand?
