I did not write this, I saw it on the official MAG forum and thought it
would be a good idea to have it here as well as sometimes these things
tend to disappear over time and I know if it's here it won't go
anywhere.

Setting Up Loadouts in the Armory
Before
deploying into a match, you can customize up to 5 loadouts for you
character. Once you edit your loadouts, the game keeps track of them so
you won’t have to do it again unless you want to make changes.
Your newly created character comes with 3 default loadouts:
- Loadout #1: Assault rifle, pistol, knife, frag grenades, first aid pack, and medium armor
- Loadout #2: Light sniper rifle w/ low power scope, pistol, knife, smoke grenades, first aid pack, and light armor
- Loadout #3: Light machinegun, pistol, knife, repair kit, un-guided rocket launcher, and heavy armor
Enter the Armory screen from the Main screen and select a loadout with the d-pad up and down buttons.
Press the X button to enter the Edit Loadout screen.
Editing Loadouts
In
the Edit Loadout screen, use the up & down, left & right d-pad
buttons to navigate through the various weapon, gear, and armor slots.
Press X to edit the selected slot.
Primary
weapon is the top left, backup weapon is top right, gear 1 is middle
left, gear 2 is middle right, heavy gear is bottom left, and armor is
bottom right.
Note the budget info at the top, which
shows how much cash you’ve got for goodies. As you’re customizing, the
budget info at the top updates in real-time.
When
you’re done editing your loadouts and are ready to play, exit this
screen by pressing O. You’ll see a dialogue asking you to confirm your
changes.
If you have gone over budget, you’ll need to go
in and scale back what you’re outfitting yourself with before you can
leave this screen.
Changing Weapons, Weapon Attachments, and Gear Items
When
you select a weapon, gear, or armor item to edit, a new screen appears
that allows you to change the weapons and equipment as well as add
available attachments to weapons.
Use
the up & down d-pad to navigate between weapons and attachment
slots (not available for gear). Use the left & right to cycle
through all available items in that slot.
Press X or O to accept any selection and return to the Edit Loadout screen.
Armor, Headgear, Facewear, and Uniform Color Selection
The bottom right window in the main armory screen allows you to choose your armor type, headgear, face items, and armor colors.
The top window allows you to change the armor type your character is wearing.
The next window down chooses headgear items, like helmets and hats.
The 3rd window is for face wear – sunglasses, hockey masks, and so on.
The bottom window cycles through available texture variations for the currently selected armor.
When you’re done customizing your look, press O to return to the Edit Loadout screen.
