If you can find a +5 or +7 speed attachment, try to find a pre-publish-10 Mabari Belt to attach it to.
You can wear this belt with armor and with a backpack, but NOT with a PSG from what I understand.
Yeah.. PSGs and Belts take the same "equipped" slot. So you can wear one or the other but not both. However, Ubese shirts can be worn under armor as well and can be worn with either a PSG or Mabari belt equipped. These shirts, like the Mabari belts, take armor attachments (if socketed) and, if they they are also pre-publish-10 items, they will not have a condition either. Thus, like pre-publish-10 belts, these shirts cannot decay either.
I have a Mabari belt with +2 to rifle speed and an Ubese Shirt with +3 to Rifle Speed. I can wear them both with my armor on but if I put on a PSG, my belt unequips. So, if you have a +7 or better Rifle Speed attachment, your best bet is to put it on a pre-publish-10 Ubese shirt and wear a PSG with it. If you do not have a +7 attachment, put your best Rifle Speed attachment on a pre-10 Ubese shirt and your next best attachment on a pre-10 Mabari belt. Wear the Ubese shirt at all times, and wear the belt to get extra speed or equip the PSG to get extra protection.
I have +12 to Enhanced Ranged Speed which should make both of these items unnecessary, but because that skill is broken, I still need them. However, since Enhanced Melee Speed is affecting Rifle Speed, and I have my first box of Enhanced Melee Speed (+3), I am now capping with my shirt and belt equipped. I should finish up my second box tonight, and when I do, I will no longer need the belt, so I can start wearing a PSG all the time again. After I get my third box, I can retire the Ubese shirt as well, at least until they do the combat revamp and the speed formulas change completely. Who knows, I may need them again after that.
