Hello! I love your Cosplay Guides for COD! It’s very detailed and well done! But I can’t seem to find the character I’d like to cosplay beside Soap! I even found and looked on your DeviantArt, but he wasn’t there. Would it be possible to consider adding Gary ‘Roach’ Sanderson? Thank you in advance! :)

Ah, here’s where it gets difficult as there isn’t a “canon” reboot appearance of Roach that is able to be properly broken down. A lot of the “remaster” Roach images out there are actually just using modified or “kitbashed” versions of AI NPC skins or generic MP “milsim” skins, which share a lot of the same core assets as the campaign characters in terms of clothing, plate carriers, and pouches, albiet in different configurations and colourations.

The OG trilogy doesn’t give us much to work on either as we didn’t really see more than his arms from the first person mode, and what glimpses of his body we do get, he’s wearing the same kit as the other TF141 characters as their appearance was a lot more uniform than the reboot is. The other issue with the OG trilogy is that the equipment, even in the remaster, is too low-poly and generic to really make any kind of identification of specific equipment nearly impossible.

(Post-note: This is turning into a longer response than I expected so I’ll throw this under the cut)

Personally, if I were building a cosplay for Roach that was in line with the reboot’s aesthetics, then I would start with what “theme” I want to capture based on existing trends. Looking at what the other boys have there are about three, maybe four distinct themes:

- Night Raider: the “nightwar” gear where they’re all in black and navy blue, night vision goggles, all that “going dark” angle

- Field Work: what the boys wear a lot during MW19 and MWIII, your more conventional SF look with the green, brown, and camouflage printed clothing and gear, maybe helmets or hats, etc.

- Urban Ops: essentially streetwear or civilian attire with their combat loads just thrown over the top, maybe a thinned out load for mobility or “short duration” actions. Think Soap’s tee & jeans load or what is worn during the tunnel fight in the end of MWIII.

Once you have a theme in mind, draw inspiration from the others for what Roach might have, and don’t be afraid to incorporate headcanons if you so choose.

Here’s what I would do if I were building a Roach costume, using what is known from the canon trilogy and commonly adopted fanon.

Theme: Urban Operations

Clothing:

- Ranger Green Crye G3 combat shirt, rolled up sleeves to below the elbow. UK IR flag patch on right shoulder pocket flap.

- Faded blue and torn denim jeans, single kneepad on the right knee.

- Mechanix Original gloves in Coyote Brown, cutoff the trigger finger halfway on the right glove.

Platform (vest):

- Crye CPC in coyote brown

— Condor Tactical Annex Admin pouch on the top velcro section of the vest

— 2x HSGI Twin AR Taco rifle mag pouches on the front MOLLE panel, occupying wearer’s left and centre row pairs

— Flashbang pouch occupying right row pair of the front molle panel

— Left cummerbund, running front to back: HSGI Single AR Taco rifle mag pouch, Spritus Systems GP pouch, Tactical Tailor PRC-152 radio pouch - all coyote brown

— Right cummerbund, front to back: flashbang pouch, Spritus Systems GP pouch

— Rear platebag just remains empty to accommodate a backpack when needed

— Patches: Green IR UK flag patch attached to the admin pouch

- Ronin Tactics TF Belt, coyote brown

— Left hip: ESSTAC twin pistol magazine pouch, with single HSGI AR Taco behind it

— Small of back: Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma NOW IFAK

— Right Hip: holster of some kind on a low-ride platform, suitable for a sidearm of your choosing. Recommend Safariland brand.

Headwear:

Beanie/watch cap with Opscore AMP headset over the top, half-face neckwrap in black or grey, with tinted wrap sunglasses.

Haven’t covered footwear as I have a few boots I wear personally, can’t go wrong with either Underarmour or Oakley tactical boots, or cross reference my guides and see what the others wear.

I hope this serves as a helpful guide or something to help you out with your own Roach cosplay. And believe me, if we do get a Roach character in the reboot verse you can bet that I’ll have their loadout breakdown done!

Thanks for the ask!

My Esstac shot cards came in. I decided to completely strip down the shotgun again so I could re-do the velcro backing. The old pump handle overlapped about an inch of the front of the receiver so I left that much metal bare. The strip of velcro I applied left about another three inches of the back of the receiver bare as well. I figured rather than cutting two pieces and lining it up on both sides I'd be better off pulling the old velcro off and starting from scratch.

It took a heat gun to melt the glue, a metal spatula to pry up a corner, and some pliers to twist from the freed corner to pull the old stuff off. That 15lb Industrial velcro I used ain't no joke lmao.

@milspec_mojo using various T.REX ARMS gear. Our Orion belt, dump pouch, and Esstac KYWIs which we offer. I’m honored to know Mojo and whole-heartily believe he’s one of the most underrated shooters in our community. And not only that, he’s an awesome instructor. Our community definitely needs more people like Mojo. - #milspecmojo #kac #orionbelt #orion #trexarms #esstac #kywi #mil #leo #platecarrier #velocitysystems #uselitegear photo by the one and only @richard.king https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDT5-cBShT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1styq01zixla8

Current setup as a PL. Esstac KYWIs for primary magazines, BFG Helium Multi-Radio for comms, TT H1 admin pouch on a Mayflower APC. Still waiting for a Mayflower Helium Whisper Assault Back Panel Type 1 for hydration and GP pouches. We’ll see how this setup works. I’ll likely evolve in the upcoming months.

💀 #practice 💀 While the ole #warbelt may be a bit too much for some, routinely handling your firearms is vey to proficiency. SERIOUS NOTE: Don’t push hard into fatigue. Fatigue will challenge attentiveness and let complacency slip in. Rather, build a sustainable routine and practice consistency.

Man the elastic on these Esstac cards is pretty tight. They almost crush my shells. They're a pain in the ass to load too. I kinda want to use my cheap Amazon/Midway cards for running drills but I should really stick with the Esstacs so the tight resistance on my shells doesn't surprise me in a real world situation.

#Repost @alwide132 with @get_repost ・・・ @redbackone operator readiness drill. Not going to lie I don’t think it would be as hard as it was especially because it’s done so close but if you miss once you fail so many moving parts. Definitely my new warm up drill. @corsoconcealment holster with a little over 2k rounds on it and I’m very impressed! I would love to try out some of their other products and IWB holsters! A lot of you have asked what I recommend and I can now confidently say @corsoconcealment Also running different setups played a factor in time. I can’t wait to run this in full kit! . . #ar15 #glock19 #trijiconrmr #danieldefense #ronintactics #aimpoint #m4a1 #block2 #block3 #multicam #training #trainingday #firearms #guns #2ndamendment #pacttimer #tangodown #surefire #silencerco #oakley #magpul #haleystrategic #geissele #esstac #traineveryday #tactical
