Collecting and Managing Items:
——————————
Generally speaking, an item refers to anything you can pick up and use in the world.
-=Getting Equipped=-
Most items in Blackout need to be equipped to be used. Unlike Multiplayer, you dont
customize and select a loadout before the game starts. You need to search for
everything.
There are seven sections to store all of your Inventory items:
Weapons You can carry two Weapons, and you are not limited by Primary and Secondary
weapons. Most Weapons have slots for up to five Attachments: Optic, Barrel, Mag, Body,
and Stock. Note that attachment capabilities vary based on the Weapon type, and you
cannot apply Attachments to Launchers.
Ammo Eight Ammo slots can carry up to 200 rounds each. Rockets, however, are much
more limited in how many you can hold.
Health Slots one of three different levels of health packs. First Aid Kits can be
stacked. Trauma Kits and Med Kits restore more health but cannot be stacked.
Gear Holds tactical Armor. You can only carry and equip one piece of Armor at a
time. There are three levels of Armor available, each providing increased protection.
Inventory These slots hold a wide range of items, including Equipment, extra
Health, unused Attachments, and consumable Perks.
Storage Find and carry a Backpack to double your Inventory capacity.
Equipment Holds Specialist Weapons and Equipment used in Multiplayer, as well
as a few other Black Ops fan favorites
-=Managing your Inventory=-
Items are managed two ways:
The Inventory menu allows you to fully manage everything you have. You can consume
Perks, drop items for teammates, make space for new items you find, apply Attachments
to Weapons, and more.
The Quick Equip menu will appear the first time you have something you can interact
with in your Inventory. The goal of Quick Equip is to allow you to access Inventory
items on the fly, which can be critical in firefights or if you have enemies bearing
down on you.
-=Example of Quick Equip functions include=-
-Changing your active Health item
-Activating a special item or consumable perk
-Swapping out your active Weapons Optic
Items in the world can often be equipped immediately without using either Inventory
menu. For example, if you pick up an Attachment, the default action will be to equip
it on your active Weapon as long as the Weapon supports that Attachment and the
Attachment slot is open. If the applicable Attachment slot is occupied and your
Inventory is not full, the Attachment will be added to an open Inventory space.
Items will also be auto-equipped in the order they were picked up. For example, if
the first Equipment you pick up is a Frag grenade and the second Equipment you pick
up is a Concussion grenade, you will auto-equip the Concussion grenades when you
use up all your Frag grenades.
