loadout

Equipped item set

A loadout is the specific combination of weapons, equipment, and gear a player selects before entering a game or mission, especially in shooters and tactical games: I'm still tweaking my loadout for ranked matches.

The term has spread from gaming to military and tactical contexts, referring to how someone has configured their kit for a particular purpose.
