It’s easy to run out of loadout slots in Destiny 2 thanks to the game’s deep buildcrafting options, and that’s before the new Prismatic subclass even arrives. Luckily for guardians, Bungie is opening up more loadout slots with The Final Shape, as confirmed in a press conference earlier this month.

"There will be additional loadout slots, and they won't be hard to come by," said game director Tyson Green. "I believe we're putting them on Guardian Ranks." Bungie did not specify the number of loadout slots.
Fans have long requested a loadout system to make it easier to switch between builds, and Bungie has finally implemented the feature with Lightfall, giving players 10 slots to choose from if they progress enough through the Guardian Rank system. Between five subclasses and multiple Exotics, those 10 slots can quickly run out, however.
The new Prismatic subclass will put additional pressure on the loadout system due to the LEGO-like nature of mixing and matching multiple pieces from different subclasses. The dozens of possible Exotic class item combinations could further clog the system, so the additional loadout slots could help alleviate some of the pressure on guardian inventories. Bungie is also giving players 100 additional vault slots with the next expansion, which will help with stockpiling combinations of Exotic class items and the new weapon sets coming to Destiny 2.
