Feeling overwhelmed by limited inventory space in The Outer Worlds 2? You’re not alone! It can be frustrating when you want to carry more weapons, grenades, or essential medical inhalers, only to find your slots restricted. Luckily, there are clever ways to expand your carrying capacity and become a more formidable force in the Halcyon colony.
Unlock More Equipment Slots: Your Essential Guide
There are primarily two powerful methods to increase your item slots:
- Temporary Boosts with Armor Mods: Equip special modifications to your gear that grant additional slots. Remember, these benefits last only as long as you wear the modified item.
- Permanent Upgrades with Perks: Invest in specific character perks that permanently grant you extra slots, ensuring your expanded capacity is always with you.
Boost Your Gear with Specialized Armor Mods
To gain immediate additional slots for your weapons, grenades, and inhalers, seek out these valuable armor mods:
- Extra Holster: Adds an extra weapon slot to your inventory.
- Grenade Bandolier: Provides an additional slot for throwable items.
- Extra Primer Port: Expands your capacity for medical inhalers.
These crucial mods can often be purchased from vendors in various settlements or discovered as loot from defeated enemies and containers scattered across the game world.
How to Apply Armor Mods to Your Headgear
Applying mods is straightforward, but there are a couple of important points to remember:
- Visit any workbench to attach mods to compatible helmets or headgear. Navigate to the “Mods” menu and select the desired mod.
- Key Considerations:
- Once a mod is attached, it cannot be removed.
- Applying a new mod to a slot that already has one will destroy the old mod.
- If you switch to different headgear without the specific mod, you will temporarily lose the bonus slot effect.
Permanent Inventory Upgrades with Perks
For a lasting solution to your inventory woes, consider choosing these impactful perks as you level up:
- Commando:
- Grants an additional weapon slot.
- Requires a minimum of Melee 1 or Guns 1 skill.
- Grenadier:
- Grants an additional throwable item slot.
- Also boosts your explosives damage by 10%.
- Requires a minimum of Explosives 2 skill.
- Pharm-Thusiast:
- Grants an additional primer slot, enabling the simultaneous use of multiple primer effects.
- Note: The combined toxicity of all active primers will apply upon activation.
- Reduces toxicity received from inhalers by 25%.
- Requires a minimum of Medical 2 skill.
With these strategies, you’ll be well on your way to maximizing your combat potential and making the most of your adventures in The Outer Worlds 2. Keep an eye out for unique weapons, armors, and helmets to further customize your build!
