Which operator has the ghillie suit?
Operators Ghost, Grinch, Syd, Talon, Otter, and Golem can wear either partial or full ghillie camouflage, most of which are available through certain unlockable or purchasable skins.
Is a ghillie suit hot?
Although highly effective, conventional ghillie suits (made in fabric or 3D leaf suit) are impractical for many situations where camouflage is useful.
They tend to be very heavy and hot. Even in moderate climates, the temperature inside the ghillie suit can reach over 50 °C (122 °F).

Are our ghillie suits still used?
The test is one step in a larger effort by Army researchers to replace the current Flame Resistant Ghillie System available to snipers but rarely used.
It was first fielded in 2012 for Army and Marine snipers. The existing system is “thick and heavy and comes with a lot of pieces that aren’t used,” said Maj.
What kind of ghillie suit does the military use?
The current suit is known as the Flame Resistant Ghillie System or FRGS. The replacement the Army is looking for will be called the Improved Ghillie System, or IGS, Williams said.
She added that although the term “flame resistant” is not in the new name, the IGS will still have flame-resistant properties.
