Hogwarts Legacy Gear Slots Full – how to get more Gear Slots
In Hogwarts Legacy you will be picking up an absurd amount of gear – much of it useless – and it will quickly take up space in your Gear Slots. You only have a limited amount of Gear Slots, and once they’re full, you’re prevented from picking up any new gear whatsoever. This means you’ll either need to destroy less valuable items, or sell excess gear at a shop. Either choice is a sensible decision when you’re in a pinch.
But there is an even better solution: getting more Gear Slots. When your Gear Slots are full, what better solution is there than getting more of them? You can in fact increase your number of Gear Slots in your Inventory in Hogwarts Legacy, and in this guide we’re going to break down everything you need to know.
Make sure to read through our other Hogwarts Legacy guides for everything you need to know about the game, including puzzle solutions, item locations, and more.
