How to Equip Trinkets Without Overwriting Current Gear
Swapping items is helpful when your slots are full, but sometimes you just want to fill your remaining open Curio slots without accidentally unequipping the gear you already have on. Using the non-swapping shortcut prevents you from pulling active trinkets off your character.
Using the Safe Equip Shortcut
To fill empty slots without disturbing your worn items:
1. Open your Curios container interface alongside your Curios inventory.
2. Find the trinket you want to add to your loadout.
3. Hold Shift and left-click the item inside the container.
When you Shift-left-click a trinket, the container attempts to place it into the last available compatible Curio slot on your character. Unlike the right-click shortcuts, this action refuses to swap items. If all valid slots for that trinket type are already occupied, the item simply stays inside the container instead of replacing your active gear.
When to Use Shift-Left-Click
- After respawning or re-gearing: Quickly Shift-left-click several stored trinkets in a row to fill open slots from the bottom up without worrying about overwriting an item you just put on.
- Checking slot capacity: Test whether you have an open Curio slot left for a specific trinket type without risking a gear swap.
