In GTA Online, tactical pouches - also known as utility or ammo pouches - are popular accessories that give your character a professional, military-style appearance. These MOLLE-style pouches originate from specific outfits like the Grassland Armor in the Cayo Perico Heist collection. Normally locked to bulky vests, players use a reliable glitch method to equip them on nearly any custom outfit, such as shirts, sweaters, or even shirtless looks.

This guide details a working method as of February 2026. It requires a public session and precise timing but allows solo execution. Note that glitches can be patched by Rockstar, so follow steps carefully.

1. Equip the Grassland Armor

  • Enter a clothing store in a public session.
  • Approach the counter and navigate to Outfits > Cayo Perico Heist (slot 51).
  • Select a Grassland Armor variant. The Naturalist version offers the best pouch layout.
  • Step away from the counter.
  • Remove any hats, glasses, or headwear to prevent transfer issues.

2. Save the Pouch Outfit

  • Return to the counter.
  • Choose Edit Saved Outfits.
  • Save the current outfit (with pouches) to Slot 1 or Slot 20. Remember your slot number.

3. Equip a Heist Coverall with Toxic Mask

  • Scroll to Heist Coveralls (slot 13).
  • Pick an outfit from slots 9-12 that includes the Toxic Mask.
  • Exit the store.

4. Perform the Telescope Glitch for Mask Transfer

  • Head to the telescope on Vespucci Beach pier.
  • Jog past it and quickly tap right on the D-pad (console) to freeze your character.
  • Open the Interaction Menu > Style.
  • Load your saved pouch outfit from Step 2.
  • Close all menus and walk away.
  • The Toxic Mask should now be on the pouch outfit.

5. Save the Updated Outfit

  • Go to Ammu-Nation and enter the clothing area.
  • Select Edit Saved Outfits.
  • Overwrite and save in the same slot.

6. Remove the Vest in "A Titan of a Job"

  • Open the pause menu: Online > Jobs > Play Job > Rockstar Created > Missions.
  • Start "A Titan of a Job".
  • Once in the mission, the vest will vanish, leaving pouches.
  • Open the clothing menu and go to Tops.
  • Save the outfit again in your slot.
  • Pull out your in-game phone.
  • Quit the mission.

7. Finalize in Public Session

  • Load back into the session.
  • Pouches should appear without the vest.
  • Visit a clothing store, go to Tops, and test compatibility (e.g., sweaters, tank tops, service shirts).

Compatible Clothing and Tips

  • Works with: Most shirts, sweaters, tank tops, service shirts, and even shirtless in some cases.
  • May not work: Turtlenecks or certain layered tops.
  • Remove headgear before transfers to avoid glitches.
  • Practice the telescope timing - it may take a few tries.
  • Pouches stay on after restarts if saved properly.
  • Combine with gun belts or other accessories for full tactical loadouts (check r/GTAoutfits for merges).

Troubleshooting

  • Pouches disappear: Re-do mask transfer or vest removal step.
  • Mask won't transfer: Ensure public session and no head items.
  • Mission not found: Search "A Titan of a Job" in Jobs menu.
  • If patched, check YouTube for solo workarounds (search "GTA Online pouches glitch 2026").
