whats the deal with the body equipment?

[ShiZbanG]

why is there like only 1 item per head/back/body/legs slots in the game?

also i found a named helmet in the doggo cave, picked it up but couldnt find it in my stash, what is it for? if its a collectable, where do i see about it?

Go to your hub and check the lockers - should be able to put the helm on - I presume.

As for the slots avail? That's just how it is.

If your very early in the game - you'll eventually get access to equipment for each slot. Some with multiple choices (IE: Parachute vs Jetpack vs Hoverpack (Back)) - but only one can be equipped at a time.

The named helmet is a cosmetic item, if you want to equip it, then go inside your Hub building and go to lockers. In there you can equip different helmets and change colours etc.

You used to have just a body slot, which all of them would go into. You had to choose a single thing. People hated it, so it got changed so you can equip pretty much all of them, with a few exceptions like which tier of backpack propulsion you want.
Allowing you to equip multiple things at the same time is not a reason to add more equipment, especially when any meaningful differences between alternates just leads to people wanting more slots again because people hate choosing. So at best they could add straight upgrades, but evidently they didn't want to upgrade things like the bladerunners further (because they want you to use alternative means of transportation).

I kind of wish I could deploy my parachute when wearing jetpack and I miscalc my jump - maybe map it to something innocuous like the P Key or something.

Obviously its a "me problem" - but still.

That is not just a you problem. Once you switch your jetpack to turbofuel, you really start to miss the parachute :p

If you are in your base: I've gotten pretty quick at tabbing to my inventory and equipping my hoverpack to catch my falls. Also works in the wild a bit since the hoverpack gives mini boosts even when off power.

You can use hot keys to equip your hover pack from your inventory. Open you inventory, then click 1-9 depending where your hover pack falls on your equipable items and it will switch with your equipped pack.

You can also upload your parachute from your inventory once you unlcok the tech. So you can always carry your parachute with you.

I sense a "Splat" in my future....

Yeah I remember the days of having my gas mask equipped and then jumping off a cliff. Forgot to equip my head with the jetpack. Or at least the wire-grabbers. Or the blade runners. Or the parachute...

EDIT: my bad the wire grabbers were hand slot items but still...
