Flex slots

Flex slots

Extra slots turn a team objective into room for another item. Current inventory slots are universal, and each enemy Walker destroyed unlocks the next extra slot. Old checklists based on Guardians or shrines no longer describe this progression.

Overview

Know when the unlock matters

Look at who is holding souls with a full inventory before choosing the next push. A Walker can let several teammates complete useful purchases without selling a working item. That team benefit may outweigh another isolated kill which creates no space for the next upgrade.

Plan the purchase after the push

Decide what goes into the slot before the objective dies, then use a safe shopping window. Avoid blindly filling it with the cheapest available item when a specific defensive active is the reason you needed space. The new slot is an opportunity, not automatic strength until it is used.
