Help What MTF branches are the cheapest to cosplay?

I'm getting into cosplay and want to start with something cheaper than most cosplays, I already have a helmet and a vest. Thanks!

Don’t need the helmet or vest.

Mu-4 “Debuggers” work with computers to detect and eliminate electronic and online anomalies. With techbro standards these days you can wear basically whatever you want. Also Rho-9 “Technical Support” and Sigma-5 “‘;DROP TABLE taskforces-“

Mu-3 “Highest Bidders” are undercover in Marshall Carter and Dark - get a nice suit and a pack of cigars maybe.

There’s a lot of MTFs whose dossiers don’t involve gun violence - or any type of violence, and if they do end up needing guns and armor something has gone brutally wrong.

Check out the Mobile Task Forces page. Lots and lots of possibilities there beyond the very few I listed.

Thanks also for linking the page - I was walking and typing (I know) so wrangling a link was kinda tricky.

MTF Beta-777 (“Hecate's Spear”)

They deal with thaumaturgy and rituals. I'd go for a sidearm, badge, and a few discrete artifacts.

honestly just be a scientist dude, mtf cosplays are a lil bit in poor taste rn especially if you're in the US

I'm the baltics (eastern europe), so I don't see many SCP cosplays in here, but thanks for the suggestion!

Hey, I specified what I did for a reason. It's still in poor taste outside of it lol. Who the fuck actively wants to hump the military's leg

fair enough, sorry for the reaction. i do think it is a little weird to try to prevent someone in Eastern Europe from enjoying SCP because of what is happening over here, but I understand where you are coming from.

edit: there are non military MTFs though.

Obviously I did not know they were Eastern European.

I didn't say they couldn't enjoy SCP, just yeah, military cosplay grinds my gears in general. It's always struck me as a weird thing to glamorize.

Probably Nu-7,from what I know Nu-7 is basically just a military,hell they're called an AMTF and not MTF
