Equipment Slots

Slots used to indicate which game items players wish to use.

Games that let players find armor, weapons, or other types of equipment often let them find many different kinds of each to let players have the choice of selecting wish they prefer. Having Equipment Slots lets players show this choice simply by placing the selected items in slots. Depending on if they are combined with a general inventory or not, these slots can represent everything one can carry.

Examples

Equipment Slots are common in Computer-based Roleplaying Games.

Arcanum and the first games in the Fallout series make use of them, as does the Baldur's Gate and Dragon Age series.

Minecraft

Left 4 Dead series
