Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the tourniquet is pretty annoying to use for a well-armored survivor. This is because it is rigid (And thus, cannot be worn on a limb with another rigid item) and covers the entire limb. This means you have to take off something as unobstructive as elbow pads to wear one.

Solution you would like.

Tourniquets should either made non-rigid to account for the fact that they can be placed in gaps between armour pieces, or given more specific locations (Likely upper arm/shoulder and upper leg/hip).

Describe alternatives you have considered.
