I added loadouts and equipment this patch, in case you couldn't tell from the titles. I was beginning to add more equipment and was frankly running out of hotkeys and space on the weapon bar. So I added loadouts.
With the addition of loadouts you will be able to customize where your equipment goes and what equipment you have. For example: You can put your portal gun on 1 and pistol on 5. Why would you do that? Beats me, but you do you. Force Field and Lights Out (Q and F) will remain on the same slots.
Shotgun is a power weapon and also a loadout weapon. This is just to see how the loadout system works as the shotgun will have to replace a weapon already equipped. It will be staying as a power weapon once other things get added.
